Just add water.

Working with clients and partners around the world, we design greenhouse solutions for hot and dry coastal regions, often where agriculture would otherwise be impossible. Using modeling software to simulate the growing environment, we can optimize a design to maximize the cooling and humidifying effects of our technology. We then custom-design the specific greenhouse to fit the economic and climate conditions of a particular region. Our latest project, where we are piloting an all-new design, is in Somaliland.
