Ensuring Food Security
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.
