This shift from conventional open-field agriculture to protected cultivation has been a major breakthrough on the road to global food security. Central to this revolution is the creation of bespoke high-performance polymer coverings that enclose a buffered environment that mitigates nature's volatility. Modern agricultural systems no longer consider plastic coverings simple shields against rain...

Innovations in protected cultivation technique have changed the agricultural scenario allowing farmers to cultivate high value crops independent of outside environmental condition. Advanced greenhouse film — a tailored material specifically designed to produce an optimal microclimate for the cultivation of plants — is at the heart of the revolution. These advanced films are produced...
