Introduction
Agriculture has been a vital component of societies for centuries, providing sustenance and livelihoods for communities around the world. However, with the increasing challenges of climate change and food security, there is a growing need for innovative and sustainable farming practices. Greenhouse farming has emerged as a solution to these challenges, offering controlled environments for optimal crop growth and resource efficiency.
This thesis aims to explore the influence of greenhouse farming on student perception of agriculture. As the future stewards of our food systems, students’ attitudes and understanding of agriculture are crucial in shaping the future of farming practices. By investigating how greenhouse farming impacts students’ perceptions, this study seeks to provide insights into the potential of this technology to transform the agricultural industry.
