Tillväxt Trädgård – Partnership Horticulture is a national collaboration between academia and the horticultural industry with the aim to create growth and sustainable development in the horticultural sector.
One objective is to increase the value of products and services for fruit and vegetables, potatoes, ornamentals, nursery plants and other areas of horticulture.
We create the conditions for increased competitiveness and growth through innovation, new ways of thinking and collaboration.
Our activities include research and development projects, developing businesses and markets, promoting regional development, organising seminars and producing newsletters.
Partnership Horticulture funds projects related to horticulture, normally around a couple of hundred thousand SEK per project. Projects can be for example feasibility studies or additional studies to develop existing projects with external collaboration.
