Learn to grow vegetables in the winter: two Greenresilient factsheets published

Growing fresh winter vegetables in Central and Northern European greenhouses without heating is a good example of low-input food production, with a small environmental footprint. It utilises the frost resistance leafy crops instead of wasting energy and resources through intensive greenhouse production with heating and artificial lighting or long transportation distances of imported greens. Winter crops can be grown either in open field or in protected areas such as unheated greenhouses or polytunnels. Two new factsheets written by Greenresilient partners at HBLFA - Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Regions and Tourism in Austria - ‘Wintamine’ and ‘Taste of Winter’ cover these topics and provide practical tips for growing your own vegetables through the winter.
