Themes
Improving greenhouse horticulture requires more than installing equipment. Growers need solutions that fit their crops, water sources, skills, investment capacity and daily operations. Route2030 brings these questions together in a shared programme of demonstration, training and learning.
Water and fertigation
Using every cubic metre of water and every kilo of nutrients more deliberately, based on what is measured on the farm.
02Crop health and integrated pest management
Preventing problems through scouting, hygiene and biological control, and combining measures carefully.
03Substrate and root zone
Understanding the link between soil or substrate, root health, irrigation, drainage and nutrition.
04Climate and energy
Improving greenhouse climate in existing structures with simple control, ventilation and shading.
05Data and digital growing
Supporting crop decisions with simple registration, sensors and structured discussion of data.
06Skills and practical learning
Connecting technical improvements to the people who operate and maintain them.
07Farm economics and adoption
Making clear why a technically working solution is not automatically adopted.
08Cooperation and food security
Linking horticultural development to jobs, income, nutritious food and careful use of resources.
