Westland (region), Netherlands

Westland is a region of the Netherlands and lies in the western part of the Province of South Holland.

New inventions such as the lessenaarskas, the kopkas, the druivenserre, the broeibak and the agricultural warenhuis eventually led to the modern greenhouse.

The Westland is a prosperous and innovative region, due to the fast-growing development in the field of agribusiness.

The greenhouse horticulture area, the Glass City , is largely limited to the municipality of Westland.

In Midden-Delfland (as argued above also part of the Westland region) livestock farming predominates.
