In San Antonino, Switzerland, Christian Bassi leads a high-tech tomato greenhouse spanning 5,000 square meters where innovative methods enable winter tomato production. Utilizing LED lighting and heat from a waste incineration plant, the facility operates sustainably and offers a CO₂-neutral heating system. Bassi, who aspires to reduce Switzerland’s reliance on imported tomatoes, emphasizes local cultivation’s environmental benefits despite higher costs. Consumer demand remains strong, prompting plans for a second greenhouse. While some experts note that imported tomatoes have advantages in production, Bassi’s model highlights the potential for sustainable agricultural practices at home.
