Are food produced inside
greenhouses turning a new leaf in agriculture?

Yes! they absolutely are. One of the biggest reasons why the counties around the world are adapting to this method of agriculture is its consistency.

The biggest benefits of growing food in a greenhouse or any other type of controlled environment agriculture methodology is its ability to supply fresh delicious produce, around the year! This is due to the crop being grown in a high-tech environment where the factors such as temperature, light and availability of CO2 are controlled. This makes the crop not as reliant on the climate outside like traditional growing methods.

Result – Voila! greater consistency across crops, and a uniform flavour and shape. That factor which we look out for when we are shopping at a store.

But is that it?
At Smart Grow Farms our produce is grown hydroponically. This type of method wipes out the use of soil and has been proven to use up to 90% less water per pound of yield compared to conventional growing methods.
Hence besides great taste and nutrition it also guarantees lesser stress on the planet’s natural resources. Grown in the heart of Dubai, we also contribute to reducing the carbon footprint as against food that is picked several hundred miles away and days ahead of consumption.

Concerned about pesticides and chemicals that your food may have been exposed to before landing on your kitchen counter? Plants growing in hydroponic systems are healthy and thriving, leaving them less vulnerable to pest attacks. With indoor growing we can seal off growing spaces which eliminates the possibility of pest and weed attacks. This eliminates the need for pesticides and herbicides.

So, yes. Currently greenhouse produce is turning a new leaf in agriculture for more reasons that are good for us & good for the planet.
