Huge areas of the Netherlands are covered with glasshouses, producing large crops of fruit and vegetables. The Netherlands now exports more tomatoes, chillies and cucumbers than any other country.
The Dutch success story is amazing because the country is small and densely populated with 1300 people per square mile. The USA, the world’s number 1 food exporter, is 270 times bigger.
More than 140 countries have adopted methods developed by Dutch farmers including China, India, Mexico, Brazil, Ghana and Ethiopia.
By 2050 there will be 10 billion people on the planet, we will need more food in the next 40 years than all the harvest in history combined
The Netherlands could be the solution and feed the world.
