The announcement was made at the TASPO Awards on October 30 in Berlin: Christian Senft, CEO of Gartenbau-Versicherung, is the new president of the TASPO Foundation. He has been a member of the foundation's advisory board since February 2024 and succeeds Prof. Dr. Matthias Diezemann. Diezemann had held the position since 2009 and is stepping down due to his age.
"Anyone who wants to shape the future of horticulture must support young people and their ideas. The TASPO Foundation does exactly that. It supports early-career researchers who address concrete challenges faced by horticultural businesses," said Christian Senft. The focus is on young researchers conducting practice-oriented work that is, as far as possible, interdisciplinary. The funded projects are intended to provide answers to questions related to production, services, and trade in the horticultural sector.
