Greenhouse Farming

Climate change is real. However, farmers can still mitigate its adverse effects by adopting modern technologies such as growing high value crops in controlled environments. Global warming causes extreme high temperatures which form a favourable breeding ground for pests. The opposite is also true for extreme cold temperatures which catapult conditions for the development of fungi, a key crop disease causing agent. All these necessitate increased use of both pesticides and fungicides. However, under controlled environments, such as farming in greenhouse structures, farmers can minimise the use of inorganic control measures lowering cost of production. Further, the kind of crops grown in these structures are usually the improved varieties which have a longer production period. One of Ripegrow Enterprises core value is to seek to embrace any advancement in the betterment of farming in the ASALs.
