HIGH TECH GREENHOUSES AND PRECINCTS

Day Two

Presentation - Graeme Smith – Graeme Smith Consulting.

Context  - Protected cropping is the 'modern face of horticulture' and has the capacity to better meet the future needs of sustainable quality products such as flowers, tomatoes, cucumbers, capsicums, eggplant, Asian greens, herbs, lettuce and strawberry.

Challenge​The integration of aquaculture and hydroponics, converting waste streams into a revenue via 'aquaponics'; is seeing high-value crops produced on the same footprint with the same water and negligible environmental impact but how to do it?
