There are many types of horticulture in Britain

Introduction
Horticulture, one of Britain’s most important industries, supplies nearly two-thirds of

the country’s food. British agriculture is efficient, for it is based on modern technology and research.
There are about 55.000 farms in Britain. They are not large. An average sized farm is about 30-40 acres. There are three main types of farming in Great Britain: pastoral, arable, mixed. 40% of farms are devoted mainly to horticulture.

There are many types of horticulture in Britain.
The horticultural industry is

wide ranging and diverse, covering many crop types and production systems. Horticultural production can be split into two broad categories - edible and ornamental.

Слайд 5

Crops can be grown outside in a field or ‘inside’, protected

under structures such as glasshouses and polytunnels. The main types of edible production are field vegetables, fruit (top fruit like apples and soft fruit like strawberries), potatoes.

Ornamental production
Ornamental production The term ‘non-edible’ refers broadly to ornamental plants,

which like edible crops are grown outdoors in the open or under protection. This sector of horticultural production covers everything from bulbs, cut flowers and pot plants through to bedding plants and the production of trees and shrubs. Below are some examples of ornamentals grown in the open and under protection.

Innovation in horticulture
While some fruits and vegetables may be more abundant

during certain seasons, farmers use a variety of methods to help extend the growing season. Not only does this mean that you can enjoy British produce for longer, it also reduces the need to import. Methods used by British farmers include:

Слайд 10

Glasshouse technology
Glasshouses allow produce to be grown and controlled in a microenvironment

where the temperature can be managed. Farmers are now utilising glasshouse technology even further by using LED lighting and renewable sources of heat.

Слайд 11

Plant breeding
Plant breeding involves the farmer looking at the genes of

different plant species and identifying which ones are the strongest. The farmer would then crossbreed two or more plants together to create a new crop that has a mix of those strong genes and traits that the farmer earlier identified. Sometimes plant breeding is done to make sure the produce has better hardiness at the end of the season and will last longer.

Слайд 12

Polytunnel
A polytunnel is a tunnel like structure, covered in plastic sheeting that is

similar to a glasshouse. It allows the plants to grow in a much warmer temperature while protecting them from frost and weather damage to extend the growing season.
