Our mission & vision
Due to climate change, population growth and geopolitical challenges, global food security is more important than ever. By working together across borders, we can innovate more quickly, share knowledge and implement sustainable solutions to truly tackle that growing global demand for food together.
Our mission
Strengthening regional innovation ecosystems in horticulture through structural international cooperation between government, knowledge institutions, and the business community.
We offer a platform where regions share knowledge, develop joint projects, and strengthen policy strategies. Through public-private partnerships we facilitate innovations in order to ensure food security around the world.
Our vision
Strong regions together form a resilient international network that contributes to sustainable food production and technological progress.
We believe that regional strength is the key to global impact. By encouraging complementarity rather than competition, we are building a sustainable and innovative horticultural ecosystem. By bringing together horticulture regions from around the world, it is our ambition to obtain an observer status at numerous international organizations related to food security.
Our principles
Regions strengthen each other through structural knowledge sharing and administrative cooperation.
Facilitating research, technology and entrepreneurship forms the engine.
Economic growth in balance with climate, resources and food security.
Each region retains its autonomy within the network.
