Our Polihouse Farming Program introduces students to innovative agricultural practices through hands-on experience in controlled environment farming. Polihouse farming, also known as greenhouse farming, allows for the cultivation of a variety of crops in a protected setting, offering students valuable insights into modern agricultural techniques. Key elements of the program include:

• Understanding Controlled Environments: Students learn about the principles of polihouse farming, including temperature control, humidity management, and ventilation. This knowledge equips them with the skills needed to optimize crop growth in varying conditions.

• Crop Cultivation: The program provides students with the opportunity to grow a range of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. They learn about soil preparation, planting, watering, and pest management, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the agricultural process.

• Sustainable Practices: Emphasis is placed on sustainable farming techniques, including organic practices and resource-efficient methods. Students learn the importance of environmental stewardship and how to minimize their ecological footprint.

• Hands-On Experience: Through practical activities, students gain firsthand experience in managing a polihouse, allowing them to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world settings. This hands-on approach enhances their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.

• Teamwork and Collaboration: Working in groups, students learn to collaborate effectively, sharing responsibilities and supporting each other in their farming tasks. This fosters communication skills and a sense of community.

Cultivating Future Farmers

Our Polihouse Farming Program not only educates students about modern agricultural practices but also instills a sense of responsibility toward the environment. By engaging in hands-on farming experiences, students develop practical skills, a deeper appreciation for nature, and the knowledge needed to contribute to sustainable food production in the future.
