Circular Horticulture Tour with Ted Duijvestijn

Circular Horticulture Tour with Ted Duijvestijn

An inspiring session with one of the innovators of Dutch greenhouse horticulture, Ted Duijvestijn, and his vision of the future and how students play a major role in this.

Within the project ‘Connected circularity: the study and design of transformative pathways towards a biobased economy’ (Flagship 3: Collaborative design of transformative pathways towards a bio-based circular economy - WUR) ; a multidisciplinary team of researchers from Wageningen University & Research explored possible pathways towards a biobased circulair economy. Circularity and a biobased economy are crucial for a sustainable future, but they are far from easy to achieve. It requires a so-called transformative change: that is a fundamental change that is not only technological, but also requires changes in organisation, behaviour, market and institutional practices. The research team looked back at successful and less successful circular and biobased initiatives, in order to learn lessons and identify mechanisms and barriers.
