Increasing demand for locally-grown, sustainable food leads to new agri-prenuer interest in hydroponic greenhouse food production of crops like tomatoes. New book helps aspiring growers answer difficult questions faced when planning and building commercial operations.
Interested in starting a commercial hydroponic greenhouse to grow tomatoes? The “Tomato Greenhouse Roadmap” from Hort Americas (http://www.hortamericas.com) provides everything one needs to make informed decisions that are necessary if one hopes to build a profitable and successful commercial greenhouse.
This 123-page guide is designed for new greenhouse growers, farmers and investors interested in entering the world of controlled environment agriculture and greenhouse tomato production. The Roadmap presents specific industry terminology, production concepts and cultivation options that must be understood in order to make important investment decisions. It was written by controlled environment agriculture specialist Dr. Nadia Sabeh (who studied at the University of Arizona's Controlled Environment Ag Center) with support from industry specialist Dr. Steve Millett, technical writer David Kuack and Hort Americas General Manager Chris Higgins.
The Roadmap is not a greenhouse tomato production guide. It does include key worksheets and resources that will assist in organizing and planning a professional hydroponic or urban greenhouse tomato range. In addition to the resources provided by the Roadmap, online supplemental information will be available after the guide is purchased. This updated information will be posted on a special website and only available to people who have purchased this unique eBook.
Chris Higgins, General Manager of Hort Americas was contacted regarding their decision to write this book. "Hort Americas receives numerous emails and phone calls from a wide variety of people interested in entering the world of hydroponic food production and controlled environment agriculture. We want each of these individuals to be successful and we know this success will be based on their access to information. Our goal was simple, provide the basic knowledge needed to make informed and educated decisions in an easy to read format." Hort Americas is hopeful that this will be one of the resources future industry leaders use to build successful business in the area greenhouse food production.
