CEAg World and Agritecture have partnered for the Global CEA Census for the second consecutive year. Open from now until Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2025, the census is an opportunity for CEA professionals across the globe to contribute to the most accurate and comprehensive dataset in the industry. The survey takes approximately 7-10 minutes to complete and is available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
“The question of economic viability is top-of-mind for everyone in the CEA industry, and this year’s census will dig into the details of how farmers are managing costs, pricing, and profitability,” says Kristin D. Zeit, Content Lead for CEAg World. “The CEA Census is a proven, vital tool for understanding our present reality and charting our future, and we’re thrilled to partner with the team at Agritecture on this invaluable annual resource.”
Focusing on the economics of CEA operations, artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, and sustainability, the 2025 census aims to support everyone from small growers to large-scale operations in making informed decisions. This year’s census is also open to solution providers, students, researchers, and all interested parties to provide feedback.
“As CEA continues to be an important driver of sustainable, food security and efficient food production, this census aims to gather data from across the globe that will guide the industry through rapid advancement,” says Henry Gordon-Smith, founder and CEO of Agritecture. “Growers that participate are helping to shape the industry’s future through a comprehensive understanding of technical and economic dynamics. We are thrilled to once again partner with Meister Media Worldwide and CEAg World on this year’s report.”
The 2025 Global CEA Census aims to gather data for a global view of the industry. The findings will be shared by Gordon-Smith at the CEAg World Conference and Expo, the premier event for advancing food grown under cover, from Nov. 19-21 in Durham, NC. The full report will also be available for download this fall.
Census participants will receive one year of free Pro access to Agritecture Designer, Agritecture’s award-winning farm planning software, and will be entered into a drawing to win a $1,000 travel and accommodation grant to cover travel and lodging to the CEAg World Conference and Expo. Participants will also receive advanced access to the 2025 Global CEA Census with any additional incentives to be revealed throughout the survey period.
