Icelandic tomato production is growing every year. 85% of the energy produced in Iceland is of sustainable origin (hydro and geothermal), of which 66% is geothermal. Its inhabitants have used this energy for hundreds of years to enjoy thermal baths, but today it has many more applications, for example, supplying heat to 9 out of 10 homes and providing energy to industries with large needs.

Thanks to this inexhaustible source of heat and its low price, it is also possible to grow fruit and vegetables in greenhouses all year round. They use no chemicals, only biological solutions, and are irrigated with high quality water. Local producers and universities agree that this type of agriculture has a very promising future for the island. When people discover its advantages, they will build hectares and hectares of these greenhouses.
