Liveable planet
Becoming more sustainable together means that we, as the floriculture sector, must also shape the energy transition together. We are determined to bring our activities and needs within the limits of a liveable world. These impact makers explain how they are contributing to this.
Ter Laak Orchios: Biodiversity
For the past year, Ter Laak Orchios has been participating in a research project together with other horticultural companies throughout the Netherlands. In collaboration with researchers from Wageningen UR, a 250 m² biodiversity strip was created next to the greenhouse in November 2024, sown with perennial summer flowers that attract insects, including natural enemies.
Hoogheemraadschap van Delfland: Water
By the end of 2027, the Netherlands must comply with the Water Framework Directive (WFD). This is a European directive that sets requirements for water quality. The quality of Dutch surface water is currently inadequate. The Water Board is therefore taking steps to improve water quality in the greenhouse horticulture sector.
Oudijk Gerbera: Sustainable cultivation with passion
Oudijk Gerbera uses various methods in the greenhouse to reduce the use of water, energy, and crop protection.
Trade Parc: Biodiversity
Since 2020, Royal FloraHolland has been a partner in the Delta Plan for Biodiversity Recovery. Among other things, this promotes biodiversity on our sites, for example in Naaldwijk. At Trade Parc Westland (Venus and Jupiter), we joined forces with the other owners on the site and created a green strip.
