Glasshouse Vegetable Production in the Netherlands, Part 1
Glasshouse Vegetable Production in the Netherlands, Part 1
“This video provides an introduction to the impressive glasshouse vegetable production systems that have been achieved in Holland and highlights the techniques, technologies, practices and innovations that have enabled this tremendous productive capacity.
The success story of how “this tiny country now helps to feed the world” – as is shown in this video – has resulted as anywhere where raw innovation is inspired by the need to improve and become more efficient, rests on these many very creative and hard-working people who have pioneered to bring completely new agricultural paradigms to reality.”
Now I came to know that farming is A white collar job 🤣
Rob Baan is very clear how marketing should be done, inverted tree !!!
But will modern man’s health problems be solved if we are eating plants grown in a synthetic environment like this? Outdoor industrial agriculture may not be better, but I wonder if plants grown in a truly natural setting are better for your health…
And this a good example why communism and socialism isn’t working. Do you really think these inventive and visionary people would exist in such society?
Did collectives worked in the USSR or even in China?? No China is copying everything they get there hands on, and haw the agriculture was doing in the USSR we know all to well. The biggest progress made in human history, is made by free visionary pioneering people . Not by collectives
"Holland" ??????? You Texans need to go back to "skool" … Hire some one with more than 4 years of education please…
what people always forget about the Netherlands is that the country was and will always be a farmers country, in fact, Netherland was the first European country that starts exporting its fruits, vegetables, cheese, and flowers through the back then dutch east India company, they monopolize every port they could to export their goods, at one point the dutch had control of more ports than England, Germany, France, and Spain combined, the dutch were the ones who introduced Europe with the art of trading food across the sea, the Dutch have always been innovating when it comes to agriculture, so its no surprised that they are dominating the agriculture industry worldwide.
get some one who can read, and knows more than one language to do these tapes, not some idiot..
I really enjoyed the video but I cannot understand why Dutch greenhouse technology would be compared so frequently to outdoor farming in California. Why not compare it to current greenhouse growing in California? Apples with apples, so to speak?
the weird stuff lol
GEWELDIG! Wat een trots om Nederlander te zijn! Echt fenomenaal en ik hoop ooit onderdeel te mogen worden van dit prachtige project dat uiteindelijk de wereld (of in ieder geval het voedseltekort) mag redden!
The Dutch are very smart people. They know how to do things right, unlike most countries in the world.
man hear them speaking english half dutchs in 2 in omg xD
is this hydroponic system?
24:48 what type of plant bedding is that? it does not look like rockwool
So this is why food tastes like cr@p. It’s not real food. Will stop buying it from the supermarket, thanks for the heads up.
I hope they have a good plan to deal with rising sea level.
Wah GE ningen…, not hennummmn
I think what was not mentionned in this video is that you also need a bank to support leading producers and agribusinesses by recognizing and encouraging the ambition, independence and innovative thinking. Rabo Bank😀
all the food is not produced in NL, some is imported and then repacked and labeled as that originated from NL
That’s great 👍
very interesting
Stonecoal-English for Aad Verduijn. Placesubstitutional shame… But hey, hier we ar.
But above all, nice to see something to still be proud of!
"and here co2 is coming out" they just debunked the co2 propaganda!! 🤣 so they pump co2 that makes plants grow faster !
مبهر ورائع
I want to work for these guys so badly. would even move there! so amazing!
NETHERLANDS you Texans never learn??? NOT "Holland" ..
Very nice to see. I always wonder about micronutrients/vitamins the fruits and vegetables have when grown in hydroponic conditions.
This is incredibly great! What struck me most is the dedication and hard work of the Dutch people. A spirit of innovation without hard work will not work.
I wouldn’t like to use these vegetables.
Would love to know where can I learn all these technologies online and use it in practice (or should I learn Dutch first ?)
I have a question maybe a silly one but maybe someone can/ wants to answer it. So I live in the Netherlands and comparing vegetables to other countries I traveled to where they use old school soil as growing material I tastend big as differents in taste. The ones growing in soil are smaller maybe les pretty but more flavorful compared to the steril glass house veggies I ate. So I was wondering if the nutrition (comparing the soil grown veggies and the rockwall aka : insulation material) has anything to do with it. Also what the hell Do they put in the rockwall because it does need nutrients to be able to grow that big no?
Where is this in Rijswijk? Is it possible to visit and get to see this in person? Who do I contact to visit?Also, how does pollination managed in this system all artificial??

On small thing, geography, the region in the south east is located 30 km more northern then the dot on the map around Venlo, not around Roermond. Venlo is also the hometown of the Venlo greenhouse, and the home of the HAS that teaches students from all over the world and from all over the Netherlands how to do this. Also in the movie there is constant reminder that pesticides find a limited use, however according to the Dutch government CVL (Compendium voor de Leefomgeving) in some crops like tomatoes there is a small increase in use, be it with biological pesticides (some plants produce their own pesticides that can be put to work using biochemistry and molecular biology). Nothing compared to open horticulture that has to be said. All in all, the Dutch horticultural model is an efficient way of feeding the masses on a planet, with increasing populations, and growing environmental problems. In Venlo waiste heat from greenhouses is stored in the soil and during the winter season this is used to heat the greenhouses and some of the houses and apartment buildings of the city.
WUR University has now Ms.FRESCO as president. She’s amazing! She loves everything that is CHEMICAL !!!!!! 💋💋💋💋
the what university??? Wah Geh NINGEN please…
Thank you Netherlands for your ingenuity.
My main question is: is that really lucrative? I mean, for the individual Farmer?
Excellent video. Rob Baan at the end was inspirational….
Why can’t we do this in the UK and use more land for house building.

What an innovation this is! Great Job. would like to learn and practice this, even at a small scale to feed my community and teach others . remarkable indeed.
Why hire an obvious idiot to do the talking…get some one who has an education, and knows how to talk, some one who takes the trouble to pronounce town names the right way, and country names..
Classic case of pull marketing in the distribution chain up to what Mr. Boon calls: "chefs" and they pull the consumers in.
For the youngsters; similar to way social media influencers work.
BTW: marketing was invented by farmers!!! (getting to the market = marketing)
prefer food grown in soil though. think theres a nutrional thing there that cant be overcome. the soil is the food.
C02 Neutral and flavor neutral hhhh, this guy looks like Klaupp
I often ask myself these questions about the Dutch agroculture… what’s the moral behind it? Is it the noble moral to feed the world? Or is it the unnoble moral to make as much as cash as possible from a small plot of land?
Taste of plastic ? Never had a good tasting tomato produced in the Netherlands.
Super video😄 im a hobby grower, can you post the. Name of the cubes with bio insekts for bugs contro😄
Something about that accent just sells to Germans and English speakers lol
