A massive greenhouse complex covering approximately 11,500m2 – the size of a football pitch and a half – is being proposed at Fiddien in Rabat.
The greenhouses will have a maximum height of 3.5 metres. The project involves a clear trade off between land use and landscape considerations and environmental benefits in energy and water conservation.
The complex, which has been exempted from conducting an environment impact assessment, will be developed on a plot of land of 28,000 square metres.
The roofs of the greenhouses would be solar panels, which would produce energy for the national grid.
