Engineering a growing environment is much more than building a greenhouse. It is a process of design and specification to ensure maximum light yields, supplementary lighting, precise environmental control, ease of handling, understanding plant growth patterns, irrigation, pest control and suitability to site conditions. All this within a cost effective and profitable package.
Other considerations are packing and grading areas, produce cooling, dispatch facilities, offices, machine rooms, staff facilities and overall site infrastructure.
