Australia: Greenhouse technologies proving a hit with growers

The growth and interest in greenhouse technologies is a response to climate risk, according to a man whose family has been involved in hydroponics for decades.

Rae Young, a sheep farmer from Ross in Tasmania's northern midlands, has started growing garlic and was keen to learn more about protected cropping.

She joined more than 40 growers from around Australia gathered in Devonport for a Greenhouse Growers' Workshop organised by PCA.

The Greenhouse Growers' Workshop included visits to a new greenhouse facility, hosted by freesia grower Maarten Blokker in Wesley Vale, and Agvita Analytical, a leading nutritional laboratory for soil, plant and water analysis based in Devonport.
