International Development of Greenhouse Technology: Innovation and Sustainable Agricultural Future

International Development of Greenhouse Technology: Innovation and Sustainable Agricultural Future
In recent years, greenhouse technology has made significant progress around the world and has become an important driving force for the development of modern agriculture. From high-tech glass greenhouses in the Netherlands to the technology output of Chinese farmers in overseas markets, greenhouses have not only performed well in improving agricultural production efficiency, but also played a key role in promoting sustainable agriculture and ensuring food security.

In the Netherlands, a country known as the "Glass Greenhouse Country", modern agricultural technology is redefining the limits of agricultural production. The greenhouse area in the Netherlands is as high as 110 million square meters, accounting for a quarter of the total area of glass greenhouses in the world. Through advanced environmental control systems and automation technology, greenhouses in the Netherlands are able to produce high-yield, high-quality agricultural products all year round. For example, the annual yield of greenhouse tomatoes in the Netherlands can reach 70 kilograms per square meter, which is more than 10 times that of traditional open-air cultivation. This highly efficient production model not only reduces water consumption and pesticide use, but also greatly improves the market competitiveness of agricultural products.

At the same time, China's greenhouse technology is also emerging on the international stage. The "Luxi Grafting Workers" team from Shen County, Shandong Province, China, has become the darling of domestic and foreign seedling companies with their superb grafting technology. These grafters are not only active in various parts of the country, but also frequently go to Russia, Ukraine and other countries to export technology. They use simple tools to create grafted seedlings with high survival rates in greenhouses in foreign countries, demonstrating the modern application and international influence of traditional Chinese agricultural technology. This not only brings considerable economic benefits to Chinese farmers, but also promotes the exchange and cooperation of agricultural technology between China and foreign countries.

In addition, the application areas of greenhouse technology are also constantly expanding. In the Schönbrunn Palace Park in Austria, a magnificent glass greenhouse has become a unique attraction for tourists to view tropical plants. In the Adelaide Botanic Gardens in Australia, modern greenhouses are used to display and protect rich plant diversity. These cases not only demonstrate the application of greenhouses in agricultural production, but also highlight their multiple values in scientific research, education and tourism.

The global greenhouse market has broad prospects. According to the latest data, the global greenhouse market size is expected to reach US$484.4 billion in the next few years. With the introduction of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence, the intelligence level of greenhouses has been continuously improved, further promoting the improvement of agricultural production efficiency. At the same time, governments have also introduced support policies to encourage the popularization and application of greenhouse technology through financial subsidies and preferential loans to cope with climate change and food security challenges.

The development of greenhouse technology is not only a revolution in agricultural technology, but also an important strategy for mankind to cope with global challenges. Through efficient and sustainable agricultural production methods, greenhouses paint a hopeful picture for the future of global agriculture.
