Taste of Winter (Greenresilient Factsheet)

Summary in the original language of the document

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.
