Project Description
Supply and installation of Standard Greenhouse Units at Zygi’s experimental station of the Agricultural Research Institute, as part of the European LIFE + Adapt2Change Programme: "Adaptation of Agricultural production in greenhouses to limited water supply and minimum CO2 emission by the use of shallow geothermal energy".
Adapt2Change aims to present the adaptation of agricultural production to climate change and reduction of available water resources. The demonstration of the methods for the adaptation of agricultural production to climate change is achieved by the construction and operation of four fully automated hydroponic greenhouses of modified arched type and total area of 870 m2.
