🌐 2025 Global CEA Census

The most valuable data in CEA starts with you.

Led by Agritecture in partnership with CEAg World, this year’s CEA Census is our most ambitious yet. As climate pressure, market volatility, and new technologies reshape the agricultural landscape, we’re asking: what does it really take to run an economically viable, future-ready CEA business today?

🚀 What’s New in 2025:
  • Deeper dive into the economics of CEA operations: How are farmers managing costs, pricing, and profitability?
  • New AI section: Where is AI already being used? What’s helping—or holding it back—from delivering real value on the ground?
  • Expanded participation: From vertical farms to field producers, from lighting suppliers to researchers—everyone shaping the future of CEA farming has a voice here.
🔐 Your Privacy Matters
We treat your data with the utmost care. All individual responses are confidential and will never be shared publicly or with third parties. We will only publish aggregated trends and anonymized insights to support smarter decisions across the agriculture ecosystem.

⏱️ How Long Will It Take?
Most respondents complete the census in 8–12 minutes, depending on their role. It’s structured so that only relevant questions appear based on your answers.

📈 Why Your Input Matters
This isn’t just a survey—it’s a snapshot of where agriculture is heading. Your answers will:
  • Inform policy makers, tech developers, investors, and advisors on what farmers really need.
  • Benchmark economic realities and AI adoption across regions and systems.
  • Help shape future strategies, subsidies, and innovations built with farmers—not just for them.
Your insights help power a smarter, more resilient, and more inclusive future for farming. Let’s build it—together.
