Marc Plinke, our founder, shares his insights on the current state of the greenhouse industry in this article from Hortidaily.com. From the growing investment in greenhouse technology to the increasing importance of controlled environments for food security, Marc highlights key trends shaping the future of agriculture. ?? He discusses how climate unpredictability and market demands are driving the shift towards year-round production, particularly in berry cultivation. While global greenhouse investments are surging, challenges like labor uncertainties in the U.S. and supply chain vulnerabilities are creating hesitation. But despite these challenges, Marc sees an exciting future for controlled environment agriculture (CEA), especially as the industry adapts to climate pressures and resource scarcity. ???? Curious about what’s next for the greenhouse industry? Read the full article to dive into Marc’s predictions for 2025 and beyond. https://zurl.co/REiYP

Check out this neat passive house project along the coast of Lake Michigan. Ceres had the pleasure of consulting on the greenhouse portion, where we helped the clients integrate our Ground to Air Heat Transfer System (GAHT?) to optimize energy efficiency. We’re always excited to collaborate on innovative passive house projects like this and look forward to expanding our expertise in this growing field of house + greenhouse architecture. https://zurl.co/nbYC3

Ceres Greenhouse Solutions is hosting Ask a Greenhouse Expert: House + Greenhouse Architecture . Make sure to attend it on March 7.

We're one month out from Indoor Ag Con so we thought we'd share the team that will be representing Ceres at the event. Even though we are a greenhouse company and not technically working in the "indoor" cultivation space, a lot of our greenhouse projects (specifically our sealed facilities) and ag tech integrations translate to what growers in this sector are looking for. Our team is looking forward to discussing highly controlled greenhouse solutions to operators who are looking to lessen their energy costs without sacrificing production. Attending the event? Come see us at booth 315! See you there! Indoor Ag-Con

We hope you can join us on March 7th to learn about "nature houses" - architectural projects that combine house and greenhouse design. Ceres experts, Marc Plinke and Josh Holleb will show examples of nature houses, explain design concepts and benefits of a house + greenhouse solution, and share what Ceres is doing in this space. Click below to sign-up and submit your question so Josh and Marc can answer it during the live event. Hope to see you there!

Two more SunSense? 4 panels are ready to ship out to our client. Every input and output are checked individually by our team before panels ship. If you are wondering what a SunSense? is - The SunSense? is Ceres' proprietary greenhouse controller. It uses customized BMS (building management system) technology to suit the requirements of vented and environmentally sealed (hybrid) greenhouses. Through the fusion of BMS technology with our agricultural expertise, SunSense? has become a versatile control solution for modern greenhouse automation.

As we enter 2025, the controlled environment agriculture (CEA) industry faces both economic and technological challenges, presenting a unique opportunity for stakeholders to rethink their strategies. This article discusses four key trends thought to shape CEA this year: 1?? Investment in Existing Facilities: With high interest rates and inflation, we predict increased investment in optimizing existing CEA operations rather than building new facilities, which can be high-risk. 2?? More Greenhouse Projects: Greenhouse projects, including retrofits, will rise as growers seek more cost-effective, energy-efficient options compared to high-energy indoor facilities. 3?? Investors Demand More Assurances: Investors will seek greater certainty by requiring third-party reviews of CEA designs and proposals to mitigate the risks from past high-profile failures. 4?? Decarbonization in CEA: As the industry focuses on sustainability, more CEA operations will shift from combustion-based to electric systems, embracing renewable energy and technologies to reduce their carbon footprint. As a greenhouse company that prioritizes energy-efficient and data driven solutions, for our own projects or projects that we consult on, we are encouraged that these key trends continue to drive the evolution of the industry.
