Unlock the potential of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) in our cutting-edge course, where you'll dive into the art of crafting a high-intensity production powerhouse.
In this course, you'll discover the secrets of mastering:
All of which can help supercharge plant growth.
While water control has ancient roots in agriculture, we’re revolutionizing its use today. Throughout this course, you'll delve into the innovative world of Plant Factories with Artificial Lights (PFALs) and their seamless integration into urban landscapes. These advanced factories epitomize the pinnacle of environmental and production control.
Join the wave of forward-thinking farmers who are harnessing technology to create synthetic environments for peak crop yields.
CEA systems can include greenhouses, vertical farms, hydroponics, aquaponics, shade structures, and hoop houses.
CEA systems can provide many benefits, including:
This course will help you navigate the intricate and interconnected controls that demand expert knowledge for optimal performance.

Mykl grew up in a military family and has traveled around the globe. He started down his agricultural path after picking the makings of a salad directly into a bowl while standing within a greenhouse in his backyard in Colorado.
Mykl came to the Pacific Northwest to enter the agricultural sector and really immerse himself in an environment of plant growth. . He spent a handful of years at Oregon State University to retrain in a new undergraduate degree so he could finish with a Master’s of Horticulture. He's worked on a handful of farms and tended ever-larger gardens, often on someone else's land. He is now creating and teaching courses at OSU as the Instructor of Urban Agriculture.
In addition to his work for OSU's certificate program in urban agriculture, he is experimenting with a system to convert food waste into insect protein. Outside the university, Mykl gardens when he can and runs a number of nutrient cycling experiments.
