Ten organisations involved in the production, use and sale of potting soil and substrates have indicated in a joint letter to Minister Schouten of the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality that they want to take further steps in the field of renewable raw materials and responsible peat harvesting. Steps have already been taken, and the sector sees additional opportunities through a joint approach in the chain. The ultimate goal is to achieve a further sustainable production of (fruit) vegetables, floriculture and tree nursery crops that make our lives greener, healthier and more pleasant.
