SLIDE 3

Japan and the Netherlands

3

  • Trade relations since 17th century
  • Both open economies, trade and IP important
  • Both have strong seed industries (Sakata, Takii

have office in Netherlands)

  • Both strong defenders of UPOV Convention

(Plant Variety Protection)

Why we need Innovation in Agriculture

4

  • Growing world population –more yield
  • Changing consumption patterns - more proteins
  • Bio-based, circular economy
  • Better adaptation to:
  • Salination – dry conditions
  • Climate change
  • Less inputs (pesticides, nitrogen, phosphates)
  • Less energy costs

Plant Breeding and glass house technology; topsector approach

5

Horticulture and Plant propagating materials is a topsector ‘’Golden’’ triangle private sector, Knowledge institutes, public sector Programming together pre-competitive technology R&D through public-private partnerships. Long term goal: solving societal challenges 3 main topics:

  • Knowledge and innovation
  • Human Capital Agenda
  • International trade and collaboration

Examples

Main challenges

  • Reduce inputs and reduce waste
  • (energy, labour, water, pesticides)
  • Maximize output
  • More circulair agriculture
  • Indoor growing with LED – in the city?
  • Change plant architecture so robots can operate
  • Combination of solar panels and glass house

covering – ‘’double harvest’’ In all examples: develop new hardware but also new genetics; plant adapted to new demands

Key Messages

7

  • Innovation is needed for many reasons
  • Horticulture + green genetics are key

technology platforms

  • Combination of both technologies can open new

directions

  • Japan and Netherlands can be strong

combination in this field
