One of the greatest resources we have in the Netherlands is grass. Grass is a huge potential crop, on which the sector and also politicians have quite a tunnel vision. Grass is for ruminants, especially cows, and that's the end of it.
By using grass more efficiently, several sustainability challenges can be addressed while the farmer earns more from his/her grass.
On Thursday, April 20, we would like to tell you more about this during the workshop: Omdenken met Gras at the Dairy Campus in Leeuwarden.
