Horticulture provides a variety of nutritious food that can improve our health and well-being. Horticulture fruits and vegetables contain essential minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, and proteins that our body needs for daily functioning. Horticulture increases the food security by producing more food with less land and water than other crops. Horticulture can also help reduce food waste by preserving and processing the harvested crops.
Horticulture enhances the beauty and value of our homes, communities and landscapes by adding color, fragrance and diversity to our surroundings. Horticulture can also provide recreational opportunities such as gardening clubs, festivals and competitions that foster social interaction and enjoyment. Horticulture protects the environment by conserving natural resources such as soil, water and biodiversity. Horticulture can also mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
Horticulture creates employment opportunities for people who work in horticultural industries such as nurseries, greenhouses, landscaping, floristry, etc. Horticulture also generates income and foreign exchange for the country by exporting horticultural products to other markets5
