The Global Horticulture Initiative
The Global Horticulture Initiative is a worldwide program intended to foster more efficient and effective partnerships and collective action among the stakeholders. To be efficient, it is organized in a consortium, a group of a limited number of national and international institutions formally organized to collaborate in research, training, and technology-generating activities designed to meet mutually-agreed-upon objectives. Because the issues at stake transcend national and regional boundaries, the Global Horticulture Initiative is the first chance to target the global concerns carried by horticulture.
GlobalHort is a not-for-profit organization registered in Belgium and Tanzania.
