It was in May 1980 that the Alberta Greenhouse Growers’ Association (AGGA) was established.
Compelled by the vision of growing a profitable, globally competitive, and environmentally sustainable greenhouse industry in the province, the voluntary, non-profit organization emerged from a grower meeting held at what was then known as the Alberta Horticultural Research Centre, in Brooks, Alta.
Producers from across the province were in attendance, and many had been working with Dr. Mohyuddin Mirza, then provincial greenhouse crops specialist, to lay the groundwork for the AGGA.
