The use of greenhouse technology on crops makes farming sustainable by increasing the yields per sq meter and also reducing the quantity of pesticides and fertilizer application. In addition to improving farming, this actually has positive effects on the environment., Firstly it reduces the need for large acres of land to produce the same crop yield. This saves the environment from loss of natural environments (from the clearing of fields) that are home to diverse ecosystems and are crucial carbon sinks. In addition, the controlled use of pesticides and fertilizers ensures that there is minimal contamination of the environment such as through runoffs to water sources.
