On the western outskirts of Sydney stands a glasshouse a little reminiscent of a cathedral window. Part of the facility glows pink in the afternoon sun, and part a pale blue. The vibrant colours come from special films applied to the glass, which are being trialled for their potential to reduce energy use and increase productivity in protected cropping. AUSVEG was given a tour of this technicolour glasshouse by Associate Professor Chris Cazzonelli and Professor Zhong-Hua Chen of Western Sydney University’s Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment.

This project has been funded by Hort Innovation using the vegetable research and development levy and funds from the Australian Government. #vegetables #horticulture #glasshouse #greenhouse #agriculture #cucumber 🌱 Visit the AUSVEG website: https://www.ausveg.com.au
