FOREWORD

The 7th International Symposium on Light in Horticultural Systems has been
organized by Wageningen University and Research Centre in Wageningen, The
Netherlands, from 14 to 18 October 2012. More than 180 symposium participants come
from 27 countries involving scientists, greenhouse industry, advisors and growers.

Light plays an important role in market-oriented greenhouse production. Products
have to be ready for the market on time with the desired volume and quality. In order to
meet with these requirements, an optimal use of light as one of the most important
production factors is of utmost importance. Natural light is free and its utilization in
greenhouse horticulture is necessary for sustainable crop production. The addition of
supplementary artificial light however, will remain necessary in several regions of the
world. By manipulating light we are able to control and steer crop growth and
development. Changing the factor light has a large impact on the total production system:
microclimate and energy consumption are influenced, costs and benefits are affected.
Research on light in horticultural systems is necessary for a sustainable and market-
oriented greenhouse production in the future.

The symposium includes three days of scientific presentations, among which 7
invited speakers, 4 selected company presentations, 42 oral presentations and 129 poster
presentations. During an one day excursion three different tours to modern greenhouse
production facilities in different regions of The Netherlands are organized. We visit
growers with artificial light, with modern LEDs, our research station in Bleiswijk and our
research labs in Wageningen. All tours are combined with a touristic highlight in that
region.

We hope that you all enjoy your stay in The Netherlands.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee
With lighting wishes,
