Innovative production is a diverse and dynamic area of community-based agriculture, including promotion of local agricultural products, disaster-resistant and traditional crops, controlled environment agriculture, greenhouses, and hydroponic, aeroponic, or aquaponic farms. These operations are creating new and better markets in Puerto Rico, enhancing the competitiveness of specialty crops, and creating economic opportunities for the next generation of agricultural producers. They also support food systems by extending the growing season, conserving resources, using renewable energy, and providing local and regional food options.
