Protected cultivation  (with its various methods) is one of the modern  technologies in  agricultural production, (like other technologies), it has several advantages.  In this technology  production has been increased to high levels and now it is in the reach of all people because of the continuous development in this field.  But on the other hand, it has disadvantages limited expanding it horizontally or vertically, and knowing these negatives will provide the product with a package of data through which effective solutions to these obstacles can be developed. Among the advantages of protected agriculture are the following:

*Increasing production: Protected agriculture is one of the intensive farming methods that gives a noticeable increase in crop production, and this is due to the possibility of controlling the environmental conditions necessary for plant growth (heat, humidity, ventilation, nutrition, etc.), and thus it is possible to grow more plants per unit area compared to Open farming.

Reducing the exposure of the crop to risks: the presence of the crop in a closed space prevents it from being damaged by changes in weather conditions such as a sudden increase or decrease in temperature, in addition to protecting crops from birds and other animals.

Increasing profits: the profits per unit area are two or three times greater when implementing protected agriculture as an alternative to farming in open fields, and these profits can be increased when other strategies are introduced (hydroponic farming as an example) where waste is less.
