Abstract
Irrigation surplus is a commonly used strategy in soil grown crops in greenhouses in the European Union.
This leads to emissions of both nutrients and plant protection agents, resulting in problems with the quality of ground and surface water.
New European regulations will be implemented, limiting the amount of nutrients and plant protection agents to be released in the environment.
These developments pose a serious challenge – or threat – to commercial growers in Europe.
We develop innovative solutions that aim at social, economic and environmental sustainable production systems.
These solutions can only be implemented successfully when all stakeholders are involved in the process and show their commitment.
An overview of our strategy, actions and projects is presented.
