Definitions and quotes

Horticulture
Horticulture is the science and art of growing plants (fruits, vegetables, flowers, and any other cultivar). It also includes plant conservation, landscape restoration, soil management, landscape and garden design, construction, and maintenance, and arboriculture. In contrast to agriculture, horticulture does not include large-scale crop production or animal husbandry.
Drinking water is a limited resource threatened by contamination with pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and other micropollutants. An EU-funded initiative investigated new technologies for the bioremediation of drinking water resources contaminated with micropollutants.
