ABSTRACT. Franco et al. present some economic and social implication of horticultural, floricultural and nursery based rehabilitation programs for people with intellectual and psychological disabilities. According to the EC-DGA, production in the EU is characterized by rapid and significant fluctuations in supply and demand for products which are highly perishable. On Cook’s reading, in order to compete on a global scale, GE produce must meet the challenges of the quickly evolving market for fruits and vegetables. Kuiseu argues that a decade ago, 80% of Senegal’s horticulture produce originated from small and medium producers.
