Every successful greenhouse project begins with the right questions
Most greenhouse projects are introduced by what will be built.Hectares. Technology level. Production capacity.But the questions that determine whether a project succeeds are answered much earlier.Before design begins, VEK establishes the conditions that will define the project:The crop, and whether there is verified demand for it. A full year of climate data for the site, […]

Climate control systems, lighting and facility design have enabled consistent production in environments independent of natural conditions. As these technologies mature, attention is shifting to other […]

Modern climate computers, sensor networks and optimisation tools are allowing growers to manage increasingly complex facilities with greater precision. However, as these systems become more sophisticated, another constraint is becoming visible. The challenge is […]
