Leading the way in sweet­corn

A fresh cob of sweet­corn on the barbecue with a good piece of beef - what could be better? Nothing, according to Dutch maize and cattle producer, Giel Hermans, who is leading the way in this market. 

Our cabbage has an oriental touch

Researchers inves­ti­gating the link between cabbage vari­eties revealed that our cabbage in North­west Europe has a histor­ical connec­tion to the Middle East – which could favour the future devel­op­ment of new climate resiliant cabbage vari­ties. 

Neigh­bour­hood: culti­vating a good rela­tion­ship

The coun­try­side is a space to live and to work. And thus often an arena of conflicts of how to use that space. A chal­lenge that needs to be tackled by farmers them­selves.
