Five revolutionary ways that greenhouses are changing the world
To say that a greenhouse can save the world is a stretch. But to say that it can change the trajectory of millions of lives for the better is no fantasy. After all, it is happening as we speak.
It goes without saying that greenhouses are all about season extension. In the UK, self-sufficient strawberry production is now a reality due to the use of greenhouses. Likewise, in Alaska, the mantra has become “Start earlier. Go Later. Grow things you can’t grow outside.”
Where before these places had to import crops into the country and send money out, those days are a thing of the past. This means more money staying in these local economies, fewer natural resources utilized to transport those items, and, of course, fresher and tastier food.
These examples and the five that follow show that there are innovative solutions – beyond just season extension – aiming to help save the world with a greenhouse.
