Next-Gen Farming Houses

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Net Houses Offer Better Produce with Fewer Chemicals

— February 10, 2016 — Eco
Consumer demand for "perfect" produce and fewer pesticides has inspired innovation in farming. A promising concept is net house farming, also called screen houses or net greenhouses.

Similar to a screened-in porch, net houses use fine-grade netting or mesh, but on a much larger scale. Preliminary studies show that net houses can significantly decrease the need for pesticides, which is highly attractive to organic farmers.

One challenge in net house farming is controlling the inside temperature where heat can be trapped, as standard venting for cooling would introduce a path for pests to enter. Koolfog, an innovator in fogging and mist cooling systems for greenhouse environments, is on the cutting edge of this technology. Providing custom systems and sensors, Koolfog is working with researchers to further refine the approach and may be one of the few ways to provide cooling in these environments.
Trend Themes
1. Net House Farming - Net house farming is a disruptive innovation that decreases the need for pesticides and offers better produce.
2. Fine-grade Netting - Fine-grade netting is a disruptive innovation that enables the use of net houses and helps control pests.
3. Fogging and Mist Cooling Systems - Fogging and mist cooling systems are disruptive innovations that address the challenge of controlling temperature in net houses.
Industry Implications
1. Organic Farming - The organic farming industry can leverage net house farming to meet the demand for pesticide-free produce.
2. Agricultural Technology - The agricultural technology industry can develop and provide fine-grade netting solutions for net house farming.
3. Greenhouse Technology - The greenhouse technology industry can innovate fogging and mist cooling systems specifically designed for net houses.
