Glasshouse Vegetable Production in the Netherlands, Part 1 

What kinds of government subsidies does agriculture in Holland receive? It seems they spend an absolutely enormous amount on the technology

@@meghancass3187 they not get subsidies. But big loans, millions, easy to loan with good plan. With help government

After seeing this video I almost forgot that Netherlands is an industrial country. Almost everyone in the world has used a Philips appliances sometimes in his/her life. Philips microcontroller NXP can be found in the heart of lots of devices we use everyday. Last but not least have you ever heard of Dutch company ASML ? Without this company today we might still stuck at using iphone 6 to view this channel.

i'm amazed by your guys technique and expertise but this video doesnt cover the carbone cost of all of this, for exemple you should know what past winter many greenhouse were no longer profitable because of gaz heating, this is not sustainable at all and when petrol et gaz runs out ( 30 year(pessimistic) -100 year(optimistic)) the whole greenhouse system will collapse on itself...

@@waso778 a lot of them got bail out this summer because of heating expenses...

Lol we are not hard working, we work the least hours. We are super lazy.

@@HermanWillems 😂 Honesty is a virtue as well…

@@HermanWillems That means we are efficient. Productivity worked hours/GDP per Capita top 20 --> Luxembourg - Ireland - Norway - Switzerland - Denmark - Netherlands - Germany - Austria - Iceland - Sweden - United States - Belgium - United Kingdom - France - Finland - Australia - Canada - Italy - Slovenia - Spain

​@@HermanWillems my boss always told me " a good baker is a lazy baker" 😂

I wish more countries were open to our solutions.

They still own the mines in South Africa. They can’t set the model until they release their ownership of stolen land

@@robellyosief8820 The dutch kingdom?

@@robellyosief8820 Can you explain what mines in South Africa have to do with an individual Dutch farmer? If not, shut up.

@@koenkeep whoa, calm down. So you are just gonna ignore the fact that they stole land that belongs to others?

@@noobplaysark1318 The Netherlands is very much the property of the Netherlands. The farmers have been living here for thousands of years and have every right to own that land. End of discussion.

I found Rob Baan fascinating passionate about his horticulture, speaking english by using the dutch way of talking...so funny!

👍 Great

@@marcderuiter1404 : Thanks, I'm not interested but I've shared your link to help others.

I worked for a dutch grower in USA, he also had a glass greenhouse since the 60s. He grew things from Hawaii inside, when it was -35f outside. He used pipes under the growing tables that were heated by water. Smart man.

i agree with the first sentence but do you realize that this agriculture is highly fossil fuel demanding and will become totally obsolete in a few years ? And the sea lvl installation are not made to deal with a 1m rise, it's made to control spontaneous flooding they will not stop the rising sea...

Just read that Dutch are helping Bangladesh: 10,000 farmers are learned to grow salt-resistant crop. And the university of Wageningen, mentioned in the video, is experimenting with with eco solutions against flooding there.

@@mehdislaoui8656 what is your problem? You’re commenting this everywhere.

@@jannetteberends8730 That is very good. With the increased risk of farmlands flooding in Bangladesh, salt resistant crops sound like a good idea. I hope Bangladesh can also use saltwater farming to grow edible seaweeds to expand their food supply.

@@jannetteberends8730 I also think seaweed farming can help in other countries as well. I wish seaweed was more available in US grocery stores. The only seaweed I ever see for sale is in fried snack sheet form. It’s actually a great source of dietary iodine.

Dikes and dams. :)

There is no need most is educated in the Netherlands. Or the greenhouse design is a copy. The scale difference is clear.

The main language used at Wageningen university is English because 40% of students are foreign. All the technoligies are are exported and used in modernisation projects abroad. They should be available. You might want to contact the university to help you out.

Do chemist works there? I mean for the analysis of the water etc

@@DP-vm2dd computer..

@@europeangardenflower9812 how much does it cost to me (India) to get your very extraordinary tecnology 👌

@@semki6819 sir,how much does it cost to me India

which country are you from?

Me from South india

@@thomasraj7205 that is a fortunate coincidence. i recently heard about an NGO in south india who are building greenhouses with farmers. blog.plantwise.org/2019/09/09/kheyti-greenhouses-the-indian-ngo-supporting-farmers-and-smes-prepare-for-changing-climates-and-boosting-crop-yields/ maybe you can contact them?

Fertigation

Maybe it's a question of lack of stress or interactions with pests or herbivores. In these greenhouses everything is so controlled that the plant doesn't strugle to survive. Usually plants synthetize bitter or aromatic compounds in response to environmental harasses; if they "feel" sure probably won't waste energy to produce them. And probably growers sell better uniform, perfect but maybe tasteless vegetables all over the world.

Taste depends from plant to plant. The staple garlic flavor is derived from chemicals that the plant produces to ward off insect or whatever would try to eat it. On the other hand tomatoes derive their flavor from various carbs synthesized while the fruit is still on the plant and with the help of proper lighting. Just comparing tomatoes grown in our country with another purely from a greenhouse vs traditional soil cultivation tells you nothing. You would need the exact same variety. Similar climate conditions (from lighting per day to moisture to temperature , etc). Similar nutrition given to the plant and many similar factors.

It's the soil and different aroma in the soil. Clay soil tastes different than forest or swamp.

It was Bleiswijk Netherlands.

Do you think you can answer your question yourself, using logic?

not if you dont have the money no. see it as a monopoly in the making

Lucrative until the government subsidies run out, or the Chinese decide to enter the market, lol.

150 L water less. 9 more times haversting from the same plant a year long. Less large farm equipment.

Probably glaswool

@@berthamoen4488 perhaps a form of glaswool

yes this is generally used

@@1fadf23f is toxic?

@@ReeDo0x no

No not uses in modern greenhouse. Only rockwool.

Oh and the general person in the streets in the Netherlands speaks Engligh way better than these 'international operating professionals'...

What is wrong with making money, if u work hard for it?

The ideal scenario is to do well for yourself by doing well for others. There is no shame in profiting if is by doing good for the mutual benefit of all. However, after your needs are comfortably met and you are rich, it is even more admirable if you look for ways to use your wealth to benefit humanity even more (like Musk’s missions encouraging free speech and space exploration). It is sad when people allow greed to overtake them and end up harming others in pursuit of wealth or wasting resources on frivolous luxuries like yachts or multiple mostly vacant mansions. Excessive greed is a personal failure of prioritization and empathy, where a person always favors their own wealth even after additional wealth gives them little to no utility. It is the same as a person who overeats and becomes unhealthy and obese while others starve around them.

Both

Still we make mistakes (and that's part of the solution!)

@@fredvrijhof3870 Of course, nobody's perfect. However, I have a lot of respect for you guys because you generally do things well. I wish that clueless America (my country) could be smarter like The Netherlands. Here, we have very little common sense and absolutely no foresight at all.

@@chrisf8855 I am a teacher and I think our inovative way of teaching together with what companies need brings us further and our students better prepared for the challenges ahead.

@@fredvrijhof3870 I have no doubt that you're right.

But they still speak english better than 99.9% of english speaking people speaking dutch....

Netherlands is one of the most densily populated countries in the world, except for a few nature reserves, there's not much left. The only way to change that is to decrease the population.

If all our food was grown this way, farmland could be returned to nature on a huge scale.

@@markaeron-thomas9722all depends on human greed.

Primary reason for loss of biodiversity worldwide is animal agriculture. 80% of agricultural land in the Netherlands it's used for animals, primary cows. Netherlands is 40% agricultural land. Eat less animal products and you can easily restore biodiversity, no matter where you are on earth, there is no need to 'reduce population'

He said we existed as humans for 170 thousand years so far from hunters and gathers to what we know today.

its just a story :)

I’ll tell what, let’s call it 180 thousand years ago and it started on 12 April 15.49 . Hope that makes you feel slightly better now.

@@janvandemaas4148 same shit, non sense 😏

agricultural lobby is very resistant to change in european countries

We do. The Netherlands gets more sun though, you can use this technique with LED's to top up the sunlight as far north as Bristol but when you get to Glasgow the cost in lighting and heating makes it not worth the cost.

correction: he mentions he lives 125,3 km away, not 25,3 km.

You need to drive slow jack. 1km in 1min is really very fast.

@@analogfilms4727 ?

the traffic on the highways in the west of the country is about equal to LA rush hour traffic, from 6am to 9pm on weekdays. its not a question of whether you will get stuck in traffic jams, the only question is how many hours you will spend in traffic jams.

@@freudsigmund72 True

Greetings! Thanks for letting us know about the problem. We've gone back and fixed the video summary text for the RU-vid page. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Innovation is: finding ways to change, to best to better.

What has that got to do with agriculture. Milk does not grow on a string!!!

@@tomhermens7698 I think he is wondering if the CO2 the ppl in the video use, is giving problems to the dairy farmers

@@tomhermens7698 Agriculture means "landbouw" so dairy farms are also agriculture .

The fact is Wageningen university isn't there for the country as a whole ,.. its goal is to generate more income for the state and separate investors . in horticulture there's a lot too gain ,.. dairy farms not so much . its depleted . It looks its all for the better good but its all for the money .

Westland is in Holland.

Paul C, I agree, however, as long as the non Dutch are to stupid to speak Dutch we have to. So, dear Paul, start speaking Dutch so we can stop speaking english!

Paul C, at least they try to speak another language.. How many foreign languages do you master?

Dear Paul, how many languages do you speak? And how fluent are you in those? At least we try to learn a language in order to communicate. And many people only learnt Dutch when they were older, so it is not easy to speak it well, without an accent etc. I speak Chinese, English, Spanish, German and Dutch. I am at least making an effort instead of being perfect. Maybe giving a compliment would have been a bridge building exercise?

He's trying his best. I don't think he speaks the language on a daily basis or from a young age, so he's not as proficient as most. Either way, it's the content of the matter that is more important here.

Learn how you can grow your own food than we don't need to sell our food in order for the English to get some food on there plates.
