WHY WAS THIS SYMPOSIUM “HUMAN-HORTICULTURE RELATIONSHIPS: AN INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE” ORGANIZED?

This symposium deals with the research to understand the human aspects in horticulture, addressing such issues as the influence of plants and horticulture on human health and well-being, what humans learn through horticulture, horticultural influences in different cultures, how living plants play a role in human daily life, etc.
The concept of human-horticulture relationships as well as the subjects addressed and the progress of this field differ with countries and/or cultures.
These four keynote speakers will give a global perspective on this new and emerging area of study.
