Greenhouse Grower to Grower Podcast: Dr. Charlie Hall on Where the Green Industry Is Headed in 2026

By Brian D. Sparks|January 11, 2026

Greenhouse Grower has entered the world of podcasts with the launch of our “Greenhouse Grower to Grower” series. In the podcast, which will be delivered every week, we talk to growers from across the controlled-environment industry about market trends, innovation, their biggest challenges and opportunities, and more.

We’re excited to kick off our 2026 podcast season with a conversation with Dr. Charlie Hall, AmericanHort’s Chief Economist, Professor and Ellison Chair at Texas A&M University, and coordinator of the Executive Academy for Growth and Leadership program for horticultural business certification, otherwise known as EAGL. In this episode, we look back at how the green industry performed in 2025, and the economic factors that will impact 2026.

You can listen to the episode here, or you can find it wherever you listen to podcasts. We hope you enjoy it!
