World player Eurofins remained in Heerenveen after all, providing innovations in the agri-food sector

The Dutch, as well as the global agricultural sector, faces many challenges. Production must become even more efficient, including less land use, a lower CO2 footprint, reduced (nitrogen) emissions and increased biodiversity. In addition, a good earnings model for farmers must be ensured. The required transition requires us to evaluate existing processes and use existing resources more efficiently.
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.
