Agrocan, a glass greenhouse born out of the necessity to deal with the waste heat of a textile factory has an interesting way to sustainably grow tomatoes.
Over 150 blue-collar workers care for and handle the plants in the agrocare, tending to the plants' every need, while 10 engineers work round the clock to make sure all operations are running smoothly.
However, these employees aren't your average workers. They were carefully selected and received the best training – learning about everything from bee allergies to how to use harvesting shears, and even how they should speak to the tomato plants.
Yes, you read that correctly. It may sound like a strange thing to do, but research suggests that any sound, including music, can help boost plant growth.
