Abstract

This disclosure is of a controlled environment agriculture facility in which a plurality of plant grow support racks are structured and arranged within a plant grow enclosure to define an air return passage from the enclosure with air ingress to such passage being distributed over surfaces of the racks. This provides good uniformity of air distribution within the enclosure and affords improved transportability and installation of the facility.
