I'm looking at property for sale in th south fo Spain and seeing some opportunities to buy commercial greenhouse operations for sale. Of course these are not sustainable with all the microplastics and everything but if they're already there anyway would it make sense to invest in something like this and plant food forests in the greenhouses?

Here's an example of what I'm looking at: https://www.idealista.com/en/inmueble/109364866/

As you say Dareios it's nice to make use of the resources. I think that you'd need to be very sure of your water situation before taking something like that on!

That is an interesting place. Could one man manage it alone?
What is the irrigation managed by?
