Course in healthy soil / plant / food is eye-opener for Dutch growers
The four-day course in Healthy soil / plant / food, organized by Soiltech and HortiNova, was received very enthusiastically last week. Some 170 growers from all sectors attended the event to learn how to produce healthy products and to be less dependent on crop protection and fertilizers. Although intensive, the course was seen as diverse and experienced by many as an eye-opener.
The course is unique in its kind, and highlighted the relationship between soil health, plant health, nutrition and human health. This broad approach pretty much guaranteed a varied program; pest and disease control, the usefulness of micro-organisms and mineral management were interspersed with lessons on how to create humus in the soil, climate change and human health.
