Reviewer 2 Report

I would like to thank the authors for the interesting and relevant research. Please find some comments for the improvement of the article below.

1.     In the abstract, the authors are recommended to indicate the period of the research. It is not clear what the purpose of this study is. What research methods were used?

2.     There is a lack of deeper theoretical substantiation.

3.     The authors should present the results of previous similar studies in more detail.

4.     At the end of the introduction, I suggest presenting the structure of the article.

5.     I suggest you to improve the clarity of the article’s empirical research by some schemes and figures that will help readers to better follow your research.

6.     Is the high tunnel structure used in the study typical of US farms?

7.     I would recommend forming and highlighting the discussion part.

 

8.     Limited list of used scientific sources, it should be supplemented.
