Global webinars to share best practice and enhance impact in horticulture sector

The webinars have facilitated inspirational exchange and cross-country learning on selected vegetables sector topics. They allowed a broader group of leading horticulture practitioners from different countries and continents, to share results and lessons learned from public and private investments in the horticulture sector, and to benefit from expertise in other countries. The exchanges and reflections are expected to serve as a basis for improving participants’ own work in the sector. They can also be a basis for further learning and exchange, while key challenges may be the entry point to develop action coalitions, possibly in the context of Netherlands Food Partnership.

A key resource used during the second and third webinar was a synthesis study conducted by Wageningen University & Research (WUR), which collected the key findings from these Dutch publicly funded horticulture initiatives in LMICs. A Synthesis Paper was produced with the aim of summarizing general lessons learned and contributing to improved policy and practice of future horticulture development initiatives.
