Small steps.
Big Ideas.
The multi-actor project Hort2thefuture will address 3 main sustainability problems in horticulture: 1) continued reliance on peat growing media and drawbacks of current peat alternatives, 2) inefficient or inappropriate use of agricultural inputs and 3) suboptimal soil health due to unsustainable management practices.
About us
Hort2thefuture is a 6.5 MEUR project which will run from 2024-2028. It comprises 28 research, supplier, retail, grower, communication, training and stakeholder partners from 12 European countries. The project outcomes will help realise Mission: Soil health objectives, by involving stakeholders along the whole agri-food chain and cooperation with FAO.
