Good morning readers, in recent months, Colorado has seen significant growth in its Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) industry. Local companies have secured multinational contracts, new facilities have opened, and startups have emerged.

This growth has been supported by the state's programs, including the Colorado Agriculture Development Authority (CADA), the Colorado Energy Office's Agricultural Energy Efficiency Program, and the Colorado Fresh Food Financing Fund. Colorado's dry, arid climate, large population, and culture of entrepreneurship make it a strategic location for indoor farming.

Agriculture remains a vital part of Colorado's economy, and we can expect continued growth and development in the CEA industry in the coming years.
