Located near Port Augusta in South Australia, Sundrop Farms demonstrates how advanced greenhouse technology can make large scale food production possible in one of the world's most challenging climates. Designed and built by Van der Hoeven, the 20 hectare greenhouse combines innovative climate control with renewable resources, enabling year round tomato production in an area where traditional agriculture is not feasible.

The project uses seawater for cooling and desalination, while a concentrated solar power system generates the energy required for greenhouse operations. By combining solar energy, desalinated seawater and advanced greenhouse technology, Sundrop Farms has become one of the world's most recognized examples of sustainable horticulture.
