Asturias Introduces Spain's Inaugural Underground Greenhouse

The Government of Asturias has initiated a groundbreaking project to transform an old mine shaft in Laviana into Spain’s first underground greenhouse, as part of the Agroalnext program funded by regional and European Next Generation resources. Minister of Science, Industry, and Employment, Borja Sánchez, recently visited the site, where experiments are underway using energy-efficient LED lighting to grow various crops such as culinary sprouts, aromatic plants, leafy greens, and more. This pilot project, implemented by the Regional Agri-Food Research and Development Service (Serida) and supported by the Hunosa mining company, aims to promote sustainable agriculture in former mining regions. It seeks to leverage the underground environment for constant temperature and humidity, paving the way for year-round, energy-efficient cultivation. The initiative aligns with the European “Farm to Fork” strategy and highlights the potential for innovative agricultural practices to address climate challenges and enhance local economic development.
