Horticultural consulting & technology

Better strawberry and greenhouse production systems.

Vaerens combines horticultural consulting with purpose-built software and crop monitoring to design, improve and understand commercial growing systems. We work with growers, nurseries and project developers.

Three areas

How Vaerens works

Consulting, software and crop monitoring are closely connected. Questions that come up in production decide what gets built, and better measurement makes the advice more specific.

01

Consulting

Production systems, crop strategy, greenhouse projects, irrigation, fertigation and crop performance.

02

Tools

Practical horticultural software for calculations growers and consultants make in real production.

Specialization

Commercial strawberry production

Strawberry is the crop Vaerens knows in most depth, from propagation through to full production.

That depth covers the whole chain: how young plant material is raised, how the substrate growing system is built around it, and how nutrition, irrigation and climate are managed once the crop is in production. The same approach applies to other protected crops.
