Research at HPP
Our role is to foster the science of the supply chain for crops produced under protected cultivation. We focus on greenhouse horticulture and the postharvest quality of products produced in greenhouses with the following research themes: morphogenesis, photosynthesis, and product physiology.
Education at HPP
Our group plays an important role in the education and training of future executives in the horticultural sector. Graduated horticultural students hold positions in commercial companies, governmental institutions, research institutes and educational institutes. We also offer courses for professionals.
