Over the coming years the growing world population will put added pressure on the availability of locally produced, safe and healthy food and considerable innovations are required in this respect. The introduction of efficient greenhouse horticulture on a global scale will therefore play an increasingly important role in food production. This will be supplemented by small-scale indoor cultivation of specific crops through the ‘vertical farming’ and ‘urban farming’ principles. From the horticultural heart of the world in the Westland area, the Netherlands is the second largest exporter of food in the world. Researchers, governments, breeders, growers, greenhouse producers, greenhouse builders and other suppliers combine all their knowledge and experience and work closely together to find an efficient and sustainable solution to global food problems in order to produce healthy and safe food with the highest possible yield.
