Global greenhouse development promotes agricultural modernization and food security
With the growth of the global population and the challenges brought by climate change, countries have increased their investment in greenhouse technology to improve agricultural production efficiency and ensure food security. From the high-tech greenhouses in the Netherlands to the huge greenhouse clusters in Spain, to the active policy promotion of Russia, greenhouses have become an important symbol of the development of modern agriculture.

In the Netherlands, greenhouse technology has reached the world's leading level. Holland's greenhouses are not only efficient, but also highly automated. Through advanced climate control systems, environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity and light can be precisely adjusted, enabling the country to produce high-quality vegetables and flowers under harsh weather conditions. It is reported that the output value of greenhouses in the Netherlands accounts for one-third of the world, mainly producing high-quality agricultural products such as vegetables, flowers and fruits, which has earned the Netherlands the reputation of "European Vegetable Garden".

The Almeria region in Spain has the world's largest greenhouse area. Since the establishment of the first greenhouse in 1963, the region has become one of the main suppliers of fruits and vegetables in Europe through continuous innovation and technological upgrading. Greenhouses covering an area of 26,000 hectares have created 100,000 jobs for the local area and an annual profit of more than 10 billion yuan. There are not only family-made greenhouses, but also highly automated large-scale agricultural companies. In recent years, local growers have begun to introduce hydroponic technology in order to further increase production and the nutritional value of products.

At the same time, Russia is also actively promoting the development of greenhouses. In order to reduce dependence on imported vegetables, the Russian government has introduced a series of incentive policies, especially in the Far East, where a national support system for greenhouse vegetable cultivation has been established. It is expected that by 2025, Russia's greenhouse vegetable production will reach 1.6 million tons. Modern intelligent greenhouse parks such as the Moskovsky Agricultural Complex in Moscow and the "May Agricultural Plantation" near Kazan, Tatarstan, are leading the development of Russian greenhouse agriculture and producing a large number of pollution-free vegetables and fruits.

Asian countries are also not far behind. With its advanced greenhouse technology and management methods, Japan has achieved high-yield agricultural production under limited land resources. Japan's greenhouses widely use technologies such as automated control systems, artificial lighting and circulating irrigation, and innovatively introduced the "rooftop planting method", which allows urban space to be used for agricultural production. Similarly, China, as one of the countries with the largest greenhouse area in the world, is also constantly introducing new technologies and equipment to improve the production efficiency and environmental control capabilities of greenhouses to meet the market demand for high-quality agricultural products.

The development of greenhouse technology has not only improved the output and quality of agricultural products, but also alleviated the impact of climate change on agriculture to a certain extent, providing new solutions for global food security. In the future, with the continuous advancement and innovation of technology, greenhouses will play a more important role in global agriculture.
