| dc.description.abstract | This thesis examines the literature currently published regarding the potential of controlled environment agriculture (CEA) with human-consumed wheat, and the reasoning behind a lack of initiative in growing wheat in a controlled environment/indoor method for commercial purposes. This is done through the use of a brief meta-analysis on literature discussing opinions and insight into the subject along with discussion of CEA technology and potential as it pertains to wheat. By looking at the benefits of controlled environment agriculture in terms of sustainability, efficiency, and profitability involved with other plant species currently cultivated on entrepreneurial scales, the potential for wheat and other staple crops to combat food security and agriculture-based climate change is explored when compared to conventional farming practices. The Literature Review and Meta-Analysis concluded that of the 33 sources selected from Google Scholar based on a search-term matrix, 17 showed positive reactions to the future of growing wheat sustainably in CEA facilities and 9 showed negative reactions, all up to the authors discretion and from all academic backgrounds. | en_US |
