Prof. Dr. Ir. Leo F.M. Marcelis of Wageningen University, Professor of Horticulture and Crop Physiology, highlights the remarkable progress of Dutch horticulture. The Netherlands continues to lead the world in greenhouse cultivation and vertical farming, driven by rapid technological development and innovation.
High-tech equipment and artificial intelligence are increasingly shaping modern horticulture. Cultivation methods are becoming more autonomous, guided by sensors and advanced computer algorithms. Yet, as progress accelerates, important questions arise: how far can automation go, and how dependent has the Netherlands become on these technologies?
These themes will be explored in the lecture "Vertical Farming – High-Level Innovation: Opportunities and Risks for the Netherlands", presented by Prof. Marcelis.
The event will take place on Monday, November 10, 8:00 p.m. at MFC Oelbroeck, Sint Anthonis. Admission is free of charge.
