Finding resources for research on greenhouses and food insecurity

[Leo Liu]

Hi all.

I am doing a secondary research assignment about greenhouse. My research topic is to use greenhouses to alleviate the severity of food insecurity in disadvantaged regions. I did some research using google scholar and found nothing useful but the paper below.

Could anyone tell me how I should work on this 3-page research assignment and what the good ways are in terms of finding useful resources?

Any input will be appreciated.

Israel has an active research program into improving crop yields in arid areas using genetics, with gravel layers, and plastic tenting to retain soil moisture (shading and limiting low night temperatures).

Because of materials costs greenhouses are not financially practical in many areas. Plus the greenhouses are torn down or are pillaged for scarce building supplies once the project is over. Find somebody with US Peace Corps experience to give you some help.

Fish and other aquatic organisms are often grown in greenhouses.
The enclosure of the greenhouse allows better control of possible pathogens than would be available on open ponds.
