Water management, from open-field cultivation onions beets or greenhouse horticulture hydroponic cultivation

In this presentation, Pieter Vlaar discusses water management at the farm level, focusing on both open-field cultivation (such as onions and sugar beets) and greenhouse horticulture (including hydroponic cultivation).

Water management is becoming an increasingly complex challenge. How can growers address it? It involves balancing water management regulations on the one hand and climate adaptation on the other.

In education, the topic is often approached from a biological perspective. However, water management also involves a wide range of physical and chemical aspects.

This presentation highlights the broader importance and impact of the sector.
