Sector promotion in RTL programme Klimaatbewust Werkt
To raise consumer awareness about sustainable initiatives within the horticultural sector, we are participating in the programme Klimaatbewust Werkt. The episode in which we appear, which airs on 10 November, focuses on natural crop protection. The programme offers a great opportunity to inform consumers about the concrete steps we are taking as a sector towards more sustainable cultivation.
Focus on green cultivation: from prevention to biological solutions
The Klimaatbewust Werkt episode (in Dutch) revolves around green cultivation, which plays a key role in making our sector more sustainable. We emphasise how various organisations within the horticultural sector are combining their knowledge and strengths to make the production process more sustainable and flowers more resilient to diseases and pests.
Three approaches
The episode features three different professionals, each of whom contributes to the sector’s sustainability in a unique way.
