Climate-friendly
Energy consumption remains the biggest challenge for the greenhouse horticulture sector. If you look purely at the figures, it can be a scare. But there is room for nuance there. This animation shows ways in which the sector is handling energy smarter now and in the future.
Together with nature
Vast fields of greenhouses are not the best place for biodiversity. But if we look more broadly - zooming out at a global level - we see that greenhouses play a major role in efficient land use. The greenhouse makes space for nature. And how about the role greenhouses play in feeding our future world population.... Watch the animation to find out.
Technology that amazes
Nowhere in the food world is there so much innovation as in the greenhouse. New technologies and innovations are flying around your ears. Technology in the greenhouse is constantly advancing with automation, artificial intelligence and robotics. What do you think the future will look like? Will green fingers still be needed in the future?
Good, fun and safe work
Greenhouse horticulture owes its success to the commitment, intelligence and drive of its employees. From logistics, IT, finance or engineering: many hands are needed. That is why the sector takes good care of its people, from all over Europe. Wondering how it does that? Watch the animation.
Healthy vegetables
Research shows that 30% of Europeans do not eat enough vegetables. And yet vegetables (and fruit) are extremely healthy! So we need to produce fewer sugars, grains and oil and more fruit and vegetables. And this can be done sustainably: in greenhouses. Want to know the biggest advantage of this? Check out the animation!
Sustainable packaging
Choosing the most sustainable packaging for fruit and vegetables is a matter of weighing things up. You have to consider CO2 emissions, water consumption and the lifespan of the tomato or cucumber in question. The industry is constantly working on sustainable packaging: is it cardboard, plastic or another surprising alternative? Curious about what is already possible?
