Floriade exhibits sustainable growing

The sixth edition of Floriade, a world horticultural exhibition that takes place in the Netherlands once every ten years, will take place in Venlo from April 5, 2012 until Oct. 7, 2012. More than a hundred exhibitors from dozens of countries will attend and demonstrate how horticulture contributes to a better world. Floriade’s exhibition park is comprised of five themed worlds connected by wooded areas, and each will offer the visitor a chance to see, feel and experience nature and food in different ways.

Floriade will have an “Innovation Cluster” stand that bears the 100 percent efficiency theme and is split into eight parts. Each part explains an innovative solution contributing to sustainable growing in the greenhouse, but the different elements will be presented as a whole to show the power of collaboration between the greenhouse suppliers, growers and institutions and in turn contributes to healthy, safe and tasty vegetables grown in a sustainable manner. This stand, located in the House of Flavour, will tell the story of how the Dutch horticultural sector makes this possible.
