Leo F. M. Marcelis & Ep Heuvelink 
Achieving sustainable greenhouse cultivation 

Apoio

  • Reviews advantages and disadvantages of different protected cultivation systems, from greenhouses and net houses to aquaponic and vertical farming systems.

  • Detailed assessment of current research on optimising the two main variables in protected cultivation: the aerial environment and root development.

  • Particular focus on systems control to optimise product quality and environmental impact.
