Greenhouse Farming in Kenya

Greenhouse farming is primarily growing plants or crops in a structure with walls and a roof made principally of transparent material. The interior of a greenhouse exposed to sunlight is significantly warmer than the external temperature protecting plants from extreme conditions.

Benefits of Greenhouse Farming

The benefits of greenhouse agriculture or farming in kenya includes:
• Increased production This is because you can create optimal climate conditions needed for plant growth and grow more plants per square foot than growing crops in an open field.
• Minimizing production risks Being in an enclosed space prevents crops from suffering damage from extreme climate-related event such as sudden increases or drops in temperature. It also keeps crops away from birds and other animals that may harm crops.
• Increase stability and security Since outside condition don’t necessarily impact plant or workers, the greenhouse protected environment provides a safe and stable condition

The cost of Greenhouse Agriculture in Kenya
