Develop Climate-Controlled Season Extension for Year-Round Production

Short growing seasons limit food production in many regions, forcing dependence on distant sources during winter months. The challenge is developing affordable season extension technologies that enable local food production year-round. Barriers include energy costs for heating, construction expenses, and technical complexity. Without season extension, northern regions remain food-insecure during winter while transportation increases food costs and emissions. Successful season extension could enable year-round local food production in cold climates, potentially reducing food miles and providing fresh nutrition year-round while supporting local economies.
