EDUCATIONAL GREENHOUSES

With increasing world population, a comprehensive supply with high quality fresh organic food is more and more depending on efficient new growing methods. It will be critical to grow with high density, ecologically beneficial and close to the consumer. Beyond just science education, greenhouse building and design can provide an opportunity for students to understand and look at how everything from business to climate change can be approached through the lens of the greenhouse. Moreover, supporting agricultural education and vocational training opportunities for young people is crucial for the development of skills needed for gainful employment in rural areas. To this purpose, De Lorenzo has designed a Two-Nave Educational Greenhouse: used as a training laboratory for new farming techniques and to demonstrate how it is possible to increase production, and a “Smart” Greenhouse, capable of integrating the most modern cultivation techniques with an advanced data monitoring system based on I4.0 sensors and technology.
