This publication capitalizes on the experience of scientists from the North Africa and Near East countries, in collaboration with experts from around the world, specialized in the different aspects of greenhouse crop production. It provides a comprehensive description and assessment of  the greenhouse production practices in use in Mediterranean climate areas that have helped diversify vegetable production and increase productivity.

Guidance is provided on potential areas for improvement of greenhouse cultivation. More specifically the document aims at strengthening technical capacity in the use of Good Agriculture Practices (GAP) as a means to improve product quality and safety, and achieve sustainable production intensification of greenhouse vegetables in countries in Mediterranean climate areas. The publication is also meant to be used as a  reference and tool for trainers and growers as well as other actors in the greenhouse vegetables value chain in this region.
