Nauta Normand: Difference between revisions

There are some greenhouses that were established in the 1970s and '80s where some food for sustenance is grown to ensure that there is a balance of vegetable fiber and nutrients in the diets of those in Nauta Normand, however these are very expensive to operate and the food grown in these hydroponic greenhouses is typically more expensive than that imported from [[Kiravia]]. As such, This food is heavily subsidized by the government to try to enforce its competitive competitiveness in the grocery market and large swabs of land in the southern islands have been dedicated to this process. These greenhouses were nationalized in the late 1990s because the private owners and co-ops who had initially started them could not afford to maintain them. Since the 2020s additional technology has been engaged, specifically the use of AI, to ensure that these greenhouses are as efficient as possible This is allowed the price to come down marginally, but it is still a cost center for the government.

The crops grown in these greenhouses are chosen for their nutrient density specifically plants like potatoes, lettuce, spinach, kale, broccoli, as well as cauliflower, and certain types of legumes. Potatoes in particular were abandoned after nationalization in the early 2000s because of a glut of potatoes imported by [[Canespa]] and [[Kiravia]] was able to make them not cost efficient and allow the people of now to Normand to have easy plentiful and cheap access to that plant.
