Growing the Future of Indian Horticulture

Exploring pathways for innovation, investment and knowledge exchange through the partnership between India and the Netherlands.

Join HortiRoad2India for two exclusive webinars designed to accelerate sustainable greenhouse horticulture and strengthen the knowledge ecosystem that will shape the future of Indian agriculture.

Why These Conversations Matter

India’s horticulture sector is at a pivotal moment. Rising demand for safe and nutritious food, increasing resource constraints and the need for skilled talent are creating new opportunities for innovation and collaboration.

The Netherlands has developed globally recognised expertise in greenhouse horticulture, technology integration and agricultural education. Through HortiRoad2India, we seek to connect this knowledge with India’s ambition to build sustainable, profitable and resilient food systems.

These webinars bring together two essential pillars of transformation:

  • Building commercially viable greenhouse businesses.
  • Building the talent and knowledge ecosystem that will sustain them.
