Project
Project code: EIP-Agri-NRW-2017-LPPGD01, REFORDAT-428
Contract period: 01.01.2017
- 31.12.2019
Budget: 384,601 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: farming practice/activity, plant production and horticulture, product/service
The project shall provide the basis for a resource-conserving and future-proof potted plant production in NRW. The participating companies would like to be able to improve themselves in all areas of sustainability. The partners of the operational group will develop practical solutions without having to take on any increased cultural or commercial risks. As a basis for a holistic view, an analysis of the status quo of the participating flower nurseries will be carried out. Therefor, an existing model for the quantification of sustainability is adapted to the specifics of horticulture. The results will be used to elaborate general fields of action and to develop individual solutions for agricultural companies. At the same time, a marketing strategy will be developed in order to generate an additional value of the products. Finally, those companies will be able to carry out sustainability analyzes independently, in order to improve themselves continuously and purposefully.
