Now that the pilot phase of the Green Deal Grasses and crops has been successful, the parties intend to create more scale for the cultivation of flax and hemp. This is necessary to make viable business case.<\/p>\n
In 2013 started the Green Deal Grasses and crops. One of her goals was to create a profitable business case from the biobased thought. “The biobased economy offers the Amsterdam region on additional business opportunities or jobs. In addition, we want to present ourselves to sustainability and innovation. And the concentration we hope to be able to use each other’s expertise, “explains Adrian Evelyn, project sustainability of the Amsterdam Economic Board.<\/p>\n
Question is: how does the metropolitan area around the capital into agricultural activity? “Here too, especially in the outskirts of Amsterdam, is agricultural space. Especially think wastelands, because temporary crops for bio-based applications can be grown. It’s all about the creative use of available land. For example, the area immediately around Schiphol. This is not suitable for cultivation, but lends itself to agricultural initiatives. ”<\/p>\n
This also applied to the land on which the pilot project ‘Urban Solution’ is realized. “This consisted of unissued grounds Sloterdijk III. Last year – and this year – hemp and flax is grown and harvested here. What makes this project so unique is that we are with the whole chain sit around the table. Of landowners to customers. This is a conscious choice. We also want to use the whole plant, including the fibers. This results in different applications on. ”<\/p>\n
Adriaan however says that scaling up is necessary. “We want about 50 acres of land in the region of North Holland and Flevoland hemp and flax cultivation. This is necessary to make profitable business model. Hemp is a tall crop and requires a specific harvesting method. Not every processor has mechanization or harvesters in this house. For our pilot project, we relied on a company from Groningen. By growing hemp and flax on more grounds, we hope to reduce costs and environmental footprint. “<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
