Campo Caribe, PR

Caribbean nations import the vast majority of their fresh foods. This creates insecurity of healthy foods during severe weather events. In general, prices are high and shelf life is prematurely diminished in transit. Campo Caribe has committed to growing fresh, local, healthy lettuce for families in Puerto Rico.

Using a deep-water culture technique in a retractable roof greenhouse, Campo Caribe can leverage the best aspects of their climate while deploying crop protection for wind and heavy rains. Borlaug is grateful to work with Campo Caribe to help make their day-to-day efforts easier and improve plant quality by automating their nutrient preparation and deliver systems.
