“The field of horticulture is international in scope and is big business worldwide. The scope of the global horticulture industry is much larger than most people realize and the impact of horticulture is much broader than generally appreciated. Horticulture provides health, nutritional, and environmental benefits throughout the world. To gain the most from their studies, it is important that horticulture students have a global perspective regarding the importance of their field.”
