I have lately seen gradual uptake of greenhouses as a preferred way of growing horticultural crops. Even in my village.

greenhouse

A green house is defined on Wikipedia as

a structure with a glass or plastic roof and frequently glass or plastic walls; it heats up because incoming solar radiation from the sun warms plants, soil, and other things inside the building faster than heat can escape the structure. Air warmed by the heat from hot interior surfaces is retained in the building by the roof and wall.

All greenhouses make use of the greenhouse effect. This is very well explained both here and here.

For anyone interested in building their own greenhouse, please read Chris Pratt’s article – How to Build an Inexpensive Greenhouse.
