Empowering Your Ability to Grow Better Plants
“Plant Empowerment” is an integrated approach to the production process based on plants’ natural sustainability, efficiency, and resilience, and uses physiological and physical principles instead of green fingers and feeling. Moreover, Plant Empowerment is universally applicable for all crops, all occurring climate zones, and various types of greenhouses.
In their book “Plant Empowerment the Basic Principles”, authors ir. P.A.M. Geelen, ir. J.O. Voogt, and ing. P.A. van Weel offer an innovative approach to the worldwide pursuit of sustainable and profitable greenhouse horticulture.
Since its introduction in 2018, Plant Empowerment has enjoyed increasing international interest from growers, researchers, consultants, knowledge institutions, and policymakers. The book, available in Dutch, English, and Spanish, has already sold many thousands of copies in more than 30 countries.
The concept of Plant Empowerment developed from a seedling to an adultplant. It is also fundamental to the Dutch innovation program Next Generation Growing. The knowledge is implemented in the curriculum of many schools and universities both nationally and internationally.
Now, there is a new open and independent platform to bring knowledge and experience together: the new website www.PlantEmpowerment.Academy.
Within the academy, growers, suppliers, researchers, teachers, students, trainers, producers of teaching materials, etc., are invited to meet each other, exchange knowledge and experiences, and jointly develop new insights into sustainable cultivation in learning communities.
