The Ecoloop™, a compact geothermal temperature and humidity control system, uses the ground’s steady temperature to regulate the internal temperature of closed-loop greenhouses, reducing energy costs by more than 60 per cent compared to traditional HVAC systems
Recent research by AgriDirect shows that the use of robots among Dutch greenhouse growers is up 3% since 2018, with 11% of 1,400 respondents deploying robots for cultivation in 2019.
