Sustainability

We are pioneers in employing the alternative – no plastic – planting pott – PottBurri

Reduction of the peat content in the growing medium. For us, 55% peat replacement is standard. By participating in the TerZ project, the aim is to achieve a further more drastic, but sustainably sensible reduction in the peat content. The next step of 70% peat replacement has been achieved for the first crops.

We use beneficials to fight and control animal pests attacking our plants and cultures.

Emphasis is being put into naturally (i.e. microorganisms) strengthen our plants in order to reduce and to minimize the need for chemicals in our production process.

We use directed irrigation with ebb and flow systems in protected cultivation and run a partially closed system with the reuse of surplus water in the open field.

Our greenhouses are designed towards energy efficient utilization of heat and temperature sources, perfectly controlled to support an optimized individual plant growth. We also produce the majority of our electricity with our own PV system.
