05 Days
04 Nights

The Netherlands is among the leading exporters of food and agricultural products worldwide. This is due to its geographical position, by the North Sea in the delta of many of Europe´s major rivers, which is ideal for transport and trade. Its flowers, cheese, tomatoes, vegetables, and beer are internationally renowned.

The Dutch horticultural sector has a very complex logistical network that makes it possible for vegetables harvested in the Netherlands to be sold in New York on the same day. Research and technology are essential to Dutch agriculture and horticulture, and many local companies and key institutions are involved in innovative work, including sustainability and nutrition.

Are you ready to discover how sustainable technology is changing agricultural traditions for the better?
