Abstract
This paper examines the current state of agricultural education in the Netherlands and support for greenhouse horticultural practitioners. The results are as follows: (1) there is practical education and vocational skill training before graduation, (2) growers participate in study groups, visit each other’s greenhouses regularly, discuss skills and costs, and develop skills through friendly competition, and (3) they also acquire knowledge from their advisors and research institutes. Such continuous learning opportunities have played an important role in the lives of growers in the Netherlands.
