In doing so , they often luff to the dependency on migrant workers and misuse surrounding their trapping . incident involve chemical substance pesticides are also sensitive .

That was the persuasion of most of the more than 70 young people who gather in Dongen on Thursday 17 October during a meeting of Tuinbouw Jongeren Nederland . The untried people gathered in an attic room of Natuurlijk Klein Dongen , an constitutive nursery specialise in tomatoes , peppers , and cuke .

The panel also include flower grower Wouter Duijvesteijn of Beyond Chrysanthemum and director Jelte van Kammen of vegetable cooperative Harvest House . Anonymous productsGeuze ( SFYN ) compact those present to face the fact by listing a serial publication of negative intelligence report about greenhouse horticulture . Over the past two class , those theme have shell out with matter such as H2O pollution , wakeful pollution , greenhouses charter up outer space demand for housing , misfortunate workings conditions , consumption of chemicals , greenhouses where you’re able to not see from the exterior what is happening inside , and product from greenhouse on sale anonymously ( with no explanation of source or method acting of cultivation).Regional product as name cardAccording to Geuze , greenhouse gardening needs to engage much more in constructive negotiation with the environment and show what the sector stand for . " Once a yr Kom in de Kas ( get along in the Greenhouse ) is not enough . Open up your caller to the world more often . Do more on social media , because that ’s how you pass on youthful people . See if you may trade a special product in your region , perhaps with several growers , as a kind of call card . " Perhaps the most important tip was , as an industry , not to just beam and enjoin a nice story . " Who do you require your story to land with ? Build a kinship with that target mathematical group and remember that a relationship is reciprocal . So you also have to show interest in your environs and love , for example , what a young person ’s dream is . “What journalists want to knowBlankestijn ( FD ) listed some current topics and explained how diary keeper approach them . At the time of gamy energy prices , she enunciate , journalist wondered how respectable the sector still was . " After the Lower House elections , the enquiry was how it was potential that the PVV could count on so many votes in the Westland region , even though a lot of migrant worker work there . When politicians talked about the living accommodations deficit , the dubiousness of why infinite is needed for glasshouse and not houses came up course . " And the frequently - bring up statements of top executive Klaas Knot of De Nederlandsche Bank also came up , in which he criticized the use of migrant worker . Seeking solutionsThe two speakers ' speeches elicited reactions from the audience . Many untested mass correspond that the sphere should set up its profile towards society . During the panel give-and-take , Chrysanthemum cultivator Duijvesteijn say that the greenhouse horticulture sector should do a better occupation of explain what a glasshouse can do in term of energy . " But we also involve to find resolution for the use of poisonous substance and the usance of migrant workers . “Not responding ' manly’Van Kammen ( Harvest House ) advised the grouping to cease arguing about what is better : organic growing or conventional ? " turn back the food fight . Instead , permit others tell the story of horticulture . " Like Geuze , he stress the grandness of going into dialog with society . " The sector often reacts , what I call , ' manly ' to negative unfavorable judgment . We defend ourselves by coming up with all form of fact to prove that the criticism is faulty . And then we provide it at that . But are you really listen to those around you ? Are you taking the other person seriously ? Let ’s really engage in talks . “Addressing abusesThe common yarn in the responses from the room was that the sector ask to tell the account of gardening better . " At the same time , you have to take on abuse , otherwise it is mop the water up , " warned Blankestijn . With the exception of a few , most attendees feel that raiser should have the courage to call each other to calculate if they spot wrongdoing by a colleague . A surprising result in Van Kammen ’s view . grant to him , this attitude is much less present , especially among sure-enough entrepreneur . " However , we should indeed call each other to describe for wrongful conduct . That intend , for exemplar , saying adieu to companies that do not use certified lodging . “Source : Glastuinbouw Nederland
