GroLive! Greenhouse Grower Educational
Training
Outreach Activities for the Tucson Community, State of
Arizona, and the World
A pilot greenhouse
grower training program (GroLive!) is under development by a collaborative
effort of International Trade Development Center (ITDC) and CEAC to
address the increasing need for training and technical support across the
greenhouse industry.
The program
will provide in-depth training over two multi-week sessions to the
purchasers of greenhouse facilities by combining classroom education and
extensive hydroponic greenhouse
training experiences on the University campus. CEAC’s commercial-style
hydroponic greenhouses and crop production systems, combined with the
experience to produce commercial quality crops in arid climates will
complement the interdisciplinary educational approach. Partnership with
ITDC adds proven
leadership within international development and extensive management
experience.
Le Craven (ITDC-CEAC), Jennifer Nelkin (CEAC), Paula
Costa (ABE PhD) and Gene Giacomelli (ABE) are primary
organizers.
