SAM Workshop
Smart Horticulture
Thu, 2012-03-22 14:42 — AnneliseThe European horticulture is an innovative sector. Greenhouses have developed towards high-tech factories that are highly automated. The sector is also very active in eBusiness and in the standardisation of information exchange. Despite this good basis, the horticulture faces major challenges due to the increasing international competition, recent food incidents such as the EHEC crisis, and fast advances in (information) technology, among others. One main answer to these developments is to innovate towards more information-based and knowledge-intensive production systems and supply chains.
