Floriculture plays a vital role in the global economy, blending aesthetics with agricultural innovation. Advanced breeding techniques are producing flowers with enhanced fragrance, color vibrancy, and longer vase life. Controlled environment agriculture, including hydroponics and greenhouse cultivation, ensures year-round production while optimizing resource use. Climate resilience is a growing priority, leading to the development of drought- and heat-tolerant varieties. Sustainable practices, such as organic farming and biodegradable packaging, are gaining traction in response to eco-conscious consumer demand. Efficient cold chain logistics and post-harvest technologies help preserve flower quality during transportation. Beyond ornamental value, Floriculture supports industries like cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and essential oils, expanding its commercial significance.
