Boerenbusiness Mini-survey

What do you think about advocacy?

15 May 2020 - Redactie Boerenbusiness - 11 comments

What do you think about agricultural advocacy in the Netherlands? Give your opinion and participate in our mini-survey on Boerenbusiness.NL.

Developments in Dutch agricultural advocacy follow each other in rapid succession. LTO Netherlands announced last Friday that it would leave the Agricultural Collective, after which Marc Calon stepped down as LTO chairman yesterday (Wednesday). The 12 other parties in the Agricultural Collective close ranks and continue. And meanwhile, agriculture minister Carola Schouten is drawing up her own plan for nitrogen policy and seems to be paying no attention to the agricultural lobby.

An important question is forgotten: what do you think of Dutch agricultural advocacy? That's why we put it in this Boerenbusiness mini survey.

The survey has now been closed. The results will be presented as soon as possible on Boerenbusiness.NL.

So that your opinion counts. Fill it in quickly, it will only take you a few minutes. We will report the results as soon as possible Boerenbusiness.NL.

have to make 2 clubs a vegetable and an animal group with some things together
the 2 groups have too many counter-interests hence 2 groups

Peer, so you want to survive at the expense of your colleague?

As long as farmers don't recognize their real oppressor and know how they bend the rules to their will, you don't need a representative at all.

completely agree with peer. dairy farming considers itself much more important than arable farming. the center of gravity of the lobby is also there. example, derogation vs reduction in nitrogen space for arable farming
and if the dairy industry needs the arable farming to protest, the arable farmers are almost obliged to contribute, but when it was necessary in the past ('90) the other way around, it remained eerily quiet. the interests are not equal and therefore do not fit under the same roof

no hans
I really like my colleagues, I like to take their manure and I hope they like to take my potatoes
we can do a lot together but there are things we have to do separately

Jk, nitrogen, precisely a "problem" where you have to stand together as an agriculture, against real polluters.

Peer, either you lose a battle but win the war together, or you all perish. Don't look so microscopically sectoral "there are things we have to do separately", but see things in the big context.

collegiality has to come from both sides, then it's right. if nitrogen were an arable problem, you would hardly hear livestock farmers

as a farmer let's act together in whatever form, the most important thing is that we are still making money now and 20 years from now. Not everyone earns the same and we are all farmers in our own way, one has more and the other has fewer capacities, respect that now and stand behind your colleague farmer collectively express your interest we come the farthest, pissing each other off plays only the opponent in his favor and that is what they are after.

Being the first to set up a professional media department, it's all about media influence. What is in farmers' newspapers is often good but does not reach the street.
