About
Europe’s largest facility for urban food production has begun operations in a monumental greenhouse set on the roof of a major vegetable and fruit auction cooperative. Strict regulation of hygrothermal conditions is guaranteed through the formation of four se-parate climate areas, which allows growing different species in environments that are opti-mal also for employees and visitors.
