Vegetables are an important component of the human diet and are grown world-wide at a range of scales from window-boxes to multi-national corporations. In the future, vegetable production will be exposed to the same constraints and pressures identified for arable crops – the need to produce more whilst using fewer resources and minimising waste. The aim of this meeting is to consider world-wide vegetable production systems and highlight opportunities for innovation that might be transferred between these very diverse systems.
