Founded 2007
To increase the relevance of sustainably intensified greenhouse cultivation
-by stimulating innovation
Thanks to a ERDF co-finance grant we can develop our systems and
demonstrate our societal added value.
“Any young person should experiencefresh vegetables not just to be healthybut to feel human, to use all the senses
and thus define its relationship withthe natural world at large”
Fresh kids, fresh vegs, fresh ideas. Each and every day, everywhere.

into
the inclusive better”

Principles of Organic Protected Cropping
1. CARE
2. FAIRNESS
3. HEALTH
4. ECOLOGY
Care and fairness reflect personal, political choices on how we want to live together. Health
and ecology are “just” common sense, good science and hard work.
Protected cropping…provide nutrient-dense vegetables,
sustainably intensified,
resource efficient, locally.
Some of the Organic Nomenklaturatreat modern greenhouses with
reservations:
“As not respecting nature’s cycles; needstoo much fertilization and resources; at
times too much energy; it does not “look natural”, too capital-intensive etc etc
We believe protected cropping, greenhouses to be:
the first among equals!

public organic regulation
… is a public tool to be used forsustainable intensification of
agriculture in two ways:
A tool that
improves environmental performance and increases societal impact of the
“organic” 3%
AND
improves environmental performance of the “conventional” 97%
by setting “do-able” examples.
Best way to lift…
Properly regulated greenhouse cultivation lifts the
entire organic market into higher relevance.
Debate on organic greenhouse regulation looks like Dr. Dolittle’s Pushmi-Pullyu, it does not bring any of us (in
Europe, North America AND in producer nations) any step further.
Organic protected cropping
The world needs a true high nutrient-dense vegetable strategy. Properly –
globally- regulated and state-of-the-art organic greenhouse cultivation will
even accelerate it.
Tell your political leaders to make right-tech, high touch protected cropping the top of the bill in
organic production rules, not the ugly duckling!
