AI-Driven Controlled Environment Agriculture as Resilient Infrastructure for U.S. Fresh-Produce Supply Chains

ArXi:2605.23946v1 Announce Type: cross Climate volatility, regional production concentration, labor constraints, cyber risk, and dependence on long-distance fresh-produce supply chains expose vulnerabilities in U. S. fresh-produce and specialty-crop systems. Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) can reduce some exposure by moving selected production into protected, sensor-rich environments, but recent failures in venture-backed vertical farming show that CEA cannot be treated as a universal food-security solution.
