Introduction:
Compared to other agricultural and plant science fields, horticultural science is the field of science that focuses on a great diversity of plants from domesticated plants called crop plants to wild plants. Furthermore, horticulture covers a wide range of fields from social sciences to medical sciences. It also covers a wide range of professions in the horticultural industry, including scientists, growers, distributors, and marketers.
The theme of IHC2026 has been set to 'Exploring the Diversity of Horticulture', therefore, to respect the diversity of horticulture and to apply it to the richness of future human life.
