Sustainable lighting and pest management

Family Fresh Farms in Australia emphasizes the importance of maintaining advanced infrastructure and implementing high-tech systems for continuous cucumber cultivation. Genson Quality Plants in Canada addresses the challenges of strawberry cultivation by selecting the right varieties and strategies for success in the competitive North American market.

In Finland, Sven Sigg AB's lighting upgrades are helping improve energy efficiency and worker conditions, while Poland's Mularski prioritizes hygiene and crop rotation in its large-scale tomato production. The integration of both chemical and biological methods in pest management is emphasized by Dr. Michael Brownbridge of BioWorks, who stresses the importance of a comprehensive approach.

Growtech, a global horticulture exhibition, focuses on sustainability. Further innovations in biological pest control, LED lighting, and CO₂ heat pump systems are pushing the industry toward greater sustainability and productivity, as seen in the efforts of companies like BioBee Biological Solutions, ams OSRAM, Van Lier Nurseries, and Slamotra.
