When using light deprivation greenhouses, several legal considerations must be taken into account to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. First, growers should check zoning laws to confirm that agricultural activities, particularly those involving light deprivation techniques, are permitted in their chosen location.
Environmental regulations may dictate how water runoff and waste management are handled, necessitating adherence to guidelines that protect local ecosystems. If the greenhouse uses supplemental lighting or CO2 enrichment systems, growers must also consider energy consumption regulations and any applicable emissions standards.
