Crunchy, flavorful, colorful lettuce and herbs with a long shelf life is what every producer and consumer desires.

With their central role in fresh, health-focused diets, lettuce and herbs are high-demand crops for growers aiming to supply premium produce to local and global markets.

Cravo's innovative roof systems create the perfect growing environment, ensuring consistent quality, faster growth cycles, and efficient resource use for lettuce and herb cultivation.

While glass houses are perfect for cold climates, retractable roof houses with cooling curtains excel in mild and hot climates. That is because it is easy to quickly protect crops from the rain and occasional cold temperatures and then retract the roof to give the plants direct sunlight to force them to develop bright colors and thick crunchy tasty leaves.

And when the sunlight is too strong, simply close the cooling curtain to reduce the sunlight and plant temperatures and activate a high pressure fog system if additional cooling and humidification is necessary.
