Horticulture 中的 Kyoto 事件

We are delighted to invite you to the International Horticultural Congress (IHC), which will be hosted at the Kyoto International Conference Center (ICC Kyoto) in Kyoto, Japan. This prestigious event promises to be an exceptional gathering for those passionate about horticultural science and its diverse applications.

Horticultural science is unique in its focus on a broad spectrum of plants, ranging from domesticated crop plants to wild species. It encompasses a wide array of disciplines, bridging social sciences and medical sciences, and covers various professions within the horticultural industry. From scientists and growers to distributors and marketers, the field of horticulture supports a rich tapestry of expertise and interest.

The theme for IHC this year, “Exploring the Diversity of Horticulture,” reflects our commitment to honoring the breadth of horticultural science and applying it to enhance human life. Attendees will have the opportunity to delve into integrated horticultural science, which combines elements of social and natural sciences with advancements in robotics, genetics, and agricultural technology.

The congress will feature a comprehensive exploration of horticulture, from small-scale household operations aimed at local markets to large-scale supply chain management and global production strategies. IHC will present the latest findings, best practices, and future directions in the field, providing valuable insights for all participants.

Kyoto, a former capital of Japan and one of the country’s oldest and most traditional cities, offers a rich cultural experience for visitors. The city has become increasingly tourist-friendly, with signs available in English, Chinese, and Korean to assist international guests. Attendees are encouraged to explore Kyoto’s historic and cultural attractions before, after, or even during the conference.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the International Horticultural Congress and the Japanese Society for Horticultural Science (JSHS), we eagerly anticipate welcoming you to Kyoto in August. We look forward to sharing this remarkable experience and advancing the field of horticulture together.
