About business unit Greenhouse Horticulture
The business unit Greenhouse Horticulture contributes to a completely sustainable and profitable sector that is fossil-free, has closed the water cycle, aims at circular use of raw materials and minimal amounts of chemicals.
We work closely with companies in the sector, both growers and suppliers, to make the most impact with our research. Thanks to our integrated research approach, we can tackle complex research questions. Our in-house expertise covers all aspects of greenhouse horticulture: the crop, the management, the technical systems and AI, and greenhouse design.
The business unit Greenhouse Horticulture has locations in Wageningen and Bleiswijk. The Bleiswijk location is in the heart of the municipality of Lansingerland, the second most important greenhouse horticulture location in the Netherlands. This means that we can communicate directly with both the professional field and the scientific community, enabling us to take advantage of vast professional and scientific knowledge, expertise, and facilities within Wageningen University & Research.
Our research facilities are unlike any in the world, with greenhouses for research into sustainable crop protection, experimental energy-saving greenhouses, and measurement set-ups for research into greenhouse materials and early signalling of crop stress. The Bleiswijk location has several Innovation and Demo Centres.
