Over the long haul "soil sickness" sets in, and you either have to replace the soil or move the greenhouse. Movable greenhouses as Eliot Coleman describes helps cut down on soil sickness greatly. There's something about the natural cycle of weather that is healthy for soil. I'm no biologist, but it seems that some exposure to the elements is necessary. Don't get me wrong: greenhouses are amazing structures that could help food production greatly by controlling climates. My main "beef" is that we place all our food production responsibilities on our farmers, a few people supplying food for most of the world.

I'm happy you're getting the word out to our farmers to help increase production. Well, pests and diseases can get into greenhouses as well.
