Designing for a Healthier Tomorrow: Sustainable Greenhouses with Josh Holleb

“The goal has always been, how can we do this better? We live in Colorado with extreme weather, and the world was working off a European greenhouse model that didn’t fit our environment. So, we set out to design something different, something more efficient and resilient.” – Josh Holleb, Ceres
