About this Resource List
The Web-based educational materials featured in this resource list were compiled as a supplement to the ATTRA greenhouse publication series.
Here you can find Web links to information about greenhouse production of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and lettuce, with a special section on organic producion. Other sections provide access to information on hydroponics, high tunnels, economics of greenhouse production, greenhouse suppliers, greenhouse directories and bibliographies, and greenhouse trade magazines.
In keeping with ATTRA's mandate to provide technical resources on sustainable agriculture, we have focused on sustainable and organic greenhouse production, IPM, and renewable and energy-conserving greenhouses in our publications. This resource list is intended as a supplement to these topics, and to answer other greenhouse questions.
A special note on organic production: Research by Dr. Mary Peet at North Carolina State University has resulted in one of the most extensive collections of land-grant university materials on organic greenhouse production. Links to these NCSU materials are featured below.
The Internet has revolutionized the way agricultural information is organized and distributed. Where it can take several weeks to receive printed materials by mail, these same items now instantly appear on your computer screen with just a few mouse clicks—for free. More importantly, many items—especially Extension Service fact sheets—are now available in electronic format only.
If you don't have a computer at home, visit your local library or computer center.
