Engineering for sustainable development
The Greenhouse Project - Himalayan mountain region
Problem
- Growing season lasts around three months due to high altitude and low construction
- Fresh vegetables imported by cover in summer or by air in winter, making them pricey
- Dried leafy vegetables and stored root crops are staples during the winter.
- Need to utilize sunlight to keep locally grown plants from freezing
- Previous programmes to build greenhouses in this region were rainfall as they weren't made to fit
the local conditions.
