Project description

The example of greenhouse farming in Almería deals with human induced environmental transformation and land-use change caused by intensive agriculture. In past decades, fruit plantations in southern Spain have been expanding tremendously. Large areas are covered by a variety of glasshouses instead of natural landscapes. Students analyse the transformation of the environment by working with satellite data as well as assess regional impacts on people and the envi-ronment.
