Closed and Semi-closed Systems in Agriculture

Agriculture is the endeavor that served for thousands of years as a cradle for human civilizations. However, it may also act as a brake. Indeed, climate change is increasingly constraining the available pool of land and water resources. The current agriculture has become highly dependent on a flow of chemical input from pesticide and insecticide industry, itself remaining as a source of a problem both for human and global health. Protected agriculture is among the answers to the looming crisis in water and climate change.
