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 […]
