food- Almeria and rice fish farming in Bangladesh

• Almeria has been home to the largest concentration of greenhouses in the world. Food such as tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers can be grown year-round within the greenhouses. 
• • Almeria produces around 3.5 million tons of fruits and vegetables each year.
  • Produce from the greenhouses is estimated to be worth between €1.2 and €3 billion, bringing in money for the local economy.
  • Tens of thousands of workers are employed within the site.
• • Many of the greenhouses are made of plastic. Each year, the greenhouses generate an estimated 33,500 tonnes of plastic waste.
  • The greenhouses use more water than can be supplied by local rainfall. Some of the additional water comes from deep wells underground, and some has to be brought in from the mountains.
  • Reports suggest that workers often work without contracts, are paid below the minimum wage and are exposed to dangerous pesticides.
