tuinbouwtechniek
Tuinbouwtechniek is a multidisciplinary field that applies scientific principles to the cultivation of crops, flowers, and ornamental plants. It integrates biology, physics, chemistry, and engineering to optimise growth conditions, enhance yield, and improve product quality. The main objective is to increase the productivity and sustainability of greenhouses, vertical farms, and open-field horticultural systems.
Key components of tuinbouwtechniek include environmental control, soilless cultivation, and plant nutrition. Environmental control covers temperature,
Beyond cultivation, tuinbouwtechniek addresses integrated pest management, plant genetics, post‑harvest handling, and market logistics. Research in
Educational pathways for tuinbouwtechniek include university degrees in horticultural science or agricultural engineering, as well as
