We have been interested in alternative greenhouse designs that help reduce dependence of fossil fuels in our food systems. Farmers are harnessing the power of the earth to heat and cool with variations of geothermal energy design. Our ENVS culminating experience courses dived into the specifics of greenhouse design from both an environmental sustainability and justice perspective. See the reports here:
