Dutch kids get acquainted with the greenhouse

The Dutch FETfit youth education programme, which enables children between 10 and 12 years old to familiarise themselves with horticulture in a playful manner, is no longer just supported by Prominent tomatoes. The other Door growers - Purple Pride, SweetPoint, GreenCo, PapriCo and Green Diamonds - have recently joined the initiative, too.

“It remains important to enthuse children for a more healthy lifestyle from an early age. Sufficient reason for our grower cooperative to get involved in FETfit,” says director Jan Opschoor. It does look like the FETfit programme is about to become a success yet again for the third season in a row. With the budget now available, there will be sufficient spaces for a maximum of 30 classes this season. And there are already plenty who have registered for this school year. “To be able to keep this education programme running for the next five years, we are actively looking for more sponsors.”
