Key Challenges
Operating in Agadir required careful climate management due to high temperatures and intense sunlight exposure. Since the greenhouse was developed without active cooling systems, stable crop conditions were achieved through optimized greenhouse design, natural ventilation strategies, high-pressure fogging, and precise automation control. The challenge was to create an efficient R&D environment that could support experimentation while maintaining reliable cultivation performance.
