A review of upgradation of energy-efficient sustainable commercial greenhouses in Middle East climatic conditions

Greenhouse farming is considered as one of the most scientific approaches in agriculture, which are suitable for all climatic conditions, especially in Middle East, North America, and Europe. Sustainable greenhouses are innovative farming facilities for healthy vegetables and fruits in a controlled,...
