Sea Of Greenhouses: Intensive Farming In Almeria

ALMERIA, SPAIN - SEPTEMBER 9: Agriculture workers prepares tomato plants on the interior of a greenhouse (invernaderos in Spanish) with tomato plantation near Roquetas de Mar on September 9, 2023 in Almeria, Spain. The transparent plastic greenhouses intensify the heat and maintain humidity, allowing earlier harvests than in an open field. Almería's greenhouses cover more than 40,000 hectares (150 square miles) and now produce between 2.5 million and 3.5 million tons of fruit and vegetables per year, enough to make them a major source of off-season tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and melons for people all over Europe.
