South Korean-based company Inkium Co. Ltd., known for its extensive range of knowledge services, plays an important role in enhancing the human resource capacity of companies and organizations. At the request of the Korean government, Inkium is training and coaching a group of young farmers and consultants who are poised to become front runners and educators in adopting new horticultural technologies, mainly in tomato and strawberry production.
Inkium asked HollandDoor to organize a one-week tailor-made study tour to the high-tech Dutch greenhouse horticulture sector. The tour emphasized advanced ICT control systems and their fundamental principles to optimize plant growth by monitoring and controlling mainly greenhouse climatic conditions and optimizing the use of resources. The tour also highlighted the emerging field of robotics in greenhouse fruit crop cultivation.
The group planned its tour from Thursday to Thursday. This allowed them to visit several companies on Friday but also to have a full weekend available to explore Dutch cities and culture. The five-day program included three half-day lectures by HollandDoor trainers, providing background information and training on key topics such as plant physiology, greenhouse climate management, and irrigation principles.
Participants rated the program highly. They were amazed by the visits and information and returned full of inspiration.
