Wageningen UR has joined forces with the ornamental plant industry to develop smart transportation systems.

Special storage techniques allow for sustainable transport, making sure that roses from Colombia or Kenya shipped by boat and train are still fresh when they reach European consumers. This reduces CO2 emissions by about 65 percent and gives the Netherlands flower sector an edge over the competition thanks to higher quality and lower cost.
