SOLAR ENERGY IN FAVOR OF SUSTAINABLE INDOOR PLANT CULTIVATION
Abstract
Integrating solar energy into indoor plant cultivation represents a promising solution for sustainable farming. This article presents the potential benefits of using renewable energy sources to reduce the environmental footprint associated with indoor farming. By using solar energy, indoor farms can significantly reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting energy efficiency.
