Washington, D.C. – The Controlled Environment Agriculture Alliance (CEA Alliance) welcomes the publication of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission’s second report, which recognizes the vital role fresh produce plays in improving Americans’ health.

Indoor farming through high-tech greenhouses and vertical farms plays an important and expanding role in delivering high-quality fresh produce to American consumers. With indoor farms independent from climate and environmental challenges, our members are growing fresh produce closer to consumers across the country.

America’s CEA growers stand ready to work with the Administration, Congress and nutrition leaders to ensure every American has access to the fruits and vegetables they need for a healthier life.

The Controlled Environment Agriculture Alliance (CEA Alliance) is a membership trade association representing and serving vertical farms and greenhouse producers growing fruits and vegetables in a highly controlled indoor production environment. Controlled environment growers employ a variety of agricultural production methods and technology to create optimal growing conditions with rigorous environmental controls. Growers utilize innovative technologies such as hydroponics, aeroponics, aquaponics, and soil-based systems to grow a wide variety of fruits and vegetables.
