Cultivation examples

How much can be grown on 2000 m²?

It’s unbelievable just how much can be grown on 2000 m²!

Tonnes of avocados, tomatoes, cabbage, wheat and potatoes. Definitely more than you could ever eat in a year. However, yields vary greatly depending on the location, the wea-ther in a given year and the type of cultivation. For example, tomatoes have the highest yields in northern countries, where cultivation takes place in greenhouses and is there-fore no longer so dependent on the season. However, most tomatoes in Europe come from Italy and Spain.

Very high yields per square metre are often the result of a particularly high use of energy, artificial fertilisers, pesticides and irrigation: growing as much as possible, in as little space as possible, is not necessarily good for the environment!
