Greenhouse growers are transitioning to carbon-neutral cultivation to avoid volatile fossil fuel prices. New strategies include using geothermal energy and waste heat from data centers to maintain crop yields while lowering emissions. Technical shifts such as semi-closed hydroponic systems and the selection of low-temperature crop varieties allow for consistent production with less energy. Research also shows that smarter CO2 management can maintain cucumber yields even as fossil-fuel-derived CO2 is phased out.
