Greenhouse business webinar
The team will organize a Greenhouse webinar on March 5th. "Promoting more sustainable, localized production is crucial for ensuring our food security. Commercial greenhouses offer a sustainable solution for producing local produce, capable of yielding 8-10 times more per acre compared to open field production while reducing water and fertilizer usage by up to 90%", Elad continues. "We want to help growers seize these opportunities and help improve the global food security."
Those unable to join can find more information online or get in touch with our local representative.
