A grooved mosaic of plastic-roofed greenhouses sprawls across 74,000 acres of coastal plains in southern Spain. Huge amounts of produce—mostly tomatoes, sweet peppers, cucumbers, and eggplants—are inexpensively grown here and sold throughout Europe. The intensive agricultural system has resurrected the economy of the Almería region, but also has many detractors who cite its depletion of aquifers, contribution to nitrate pollution, and exploitation of migrant laborers.
