Dr François LAURENS
IHC 2022 Chair
Dear colleagues and partners,
This is my great pleasure to invite you to IHC 2022 that will take place from 14th to 20th August 2022 in Angers, France.
Our planet calls for change. The Covid-19 crisis and the increasing climate hazards have evidenced how vulnerable our world civilization is, and made us understand that business as usual is no longer possible. Carbon emissions, energy savings, biodiversity protection, better use of resources, are cardinal rules for ensuring tomorrow’s future.
We all know what Horticulture shall bring in to take up the challenge. Improving food quality (nutrition and safety), reducing chemical fertilizers and pesticides, developing resilience to climate change enhancing natural resistance to diseases and increasing sustainable food systems for health and wealth: Horticulture has the deep power to settle new ways of producing and consuming. Reason why IHC 2022 focus is:
« Horticulture for a world in transition ».
Taking benefits from this new context, the organizing committee is preparing an unprecedented IHC in a hybrid version, which will focus on three priorities:
1) to host an outstanding scientific event,
2) to reinforce the links between research, education and industry, and
3) to enhance the links between Southern and Northern countries.
France is a major horticultural country in Europe, and Angers, located along the Loire Valley, in a mild climate, benefits from the largest concentration of actors in the French plant sector: research labs, experimental centres, higher education institutions, farms and industries. During your stay, you will have the possibility to visit these sites and to meet these people. You’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy the charms of France, its landscape, historical treasures, gastronomy and fine wines.
On behalf of the organizing committee, I am looking forward to meeting you in Angers in August 2022!
The language practiced during the entire congress will be English. Find the presentation of the congress in French.
The flagship themes of this edition
France, is not only a touristic place but also an agricultural country. History and horticulture have been linked for centuries in Angers. The result is a dynamic, innovative and international plant sector. See more in video.
