Towards peat-free potting soil and substrate
Added on 22 December 2022
Last year, Minister Schouten of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV) responded to a motion to limit the peat content in potting soil and substrate. As a result, LNV, TurfVrij and VPN started talking to each other. The first consultations took place at WUR in Wageningen, which also facilitated the meetings and provided important data. The conversations were open, intensive and enjoyable. The consultation partners recognized the importance of good agreements. After a number of consultations, a professional mediator (former Member of Parliament Arne Weverling) was involved and end users and other interested parties were involved.
