In addition to our trailblazers, various other Greenery growers and suppliers are striving to make their businesses more sustainable. Good cases in point is firms of Vaalburg vof. The company is working hard to achieve their sustainability targets and hope to be awarded the Nature Counts quality mark in future.
Vaalburg vof
Vaalburg vof mainly specialises in the cultivation and processing of celeriac and seed potatoes. The company took its first steps towards organic growing methods in 2008. Farming vehicles are kept off the growing beds during and after the growth period and harvest. As a result, the soil remains rich in oxygen and the soil life remains intact. Compost made from natural waste flows helps to ensure optimal growing conditions and natural crop growth. As a result, the company can limit its use of artificial fertiliser and crop protection agents to a minimum. The aim is to cut residues to the lowest possible level.
