    Urban Ag News Issue 12  |  January 2016

    Urban Ag News’ Issue 12 cover story on Westland Orchids and Westland Produce focuses on the father-son team of Jerry and David Van Wingerden. Find out how their companies have evolved to stay relevant and profitable as the horticulture industry has changed.

    If you are interested in how the international controlled environment agriculture industries are developing, be sure to read columnist Eri Hayashi’s special report on Japan’s plant factories and the Q&A article with National Taiwan University professor Wei Fang on his country’s plant factories.

    If you’re a fanatic about providing the optimum growing conditions for your crops, be sure to check out the two articles related to environmental control. One article focuses on meeting the environmental challenge of food crop production and the other provides detailed information on proper HVAC maintenance.
