Carla Dik-Faber would like to stand up for the agricultural sector in the Netherlands and regularly argues that farmers should be given more space to earn a fair living. She wants good farm life to be more visible to society.

'More information should be given about farms and what valuable contributions farmers make to society. We must connect farmers and citizens. In the past there was much more contact with farmers from society. We used to visit the farmyard much more often. A lot of people don't have a good idea of ​​the sector. How hard they work, how the vast majority are good with animals and how our excellent food is prepared," she said during the agricultural budget debate at the end of 2016.

Boerenbusiness TV Politics will discuss Dutch agricultural policy in a diptych with politicians. In the second episode, reader questions are addressed. Do you have a burning issue that you would like to pose to this politician? Ask your question below this article. The editors will make a selection and your question may be included in the interview.

Is the CU striving for more or less government involvement?
Tonny 9 January 2017
Does the CU strive for more or fewer farmers

Mrs. Carla Dik-Faber. How is the CU in the lease discussion. Does she want to stand up for the lease-dependent companies and how does she view the current lease pricing system? The regular rent has more than doubled in 10 years.
geert 9 January 2017
What do you think about the lease prices on Kampereiland? These are almost impossible for the mostly young farmers. Partly due to the low selling prices of the milk.
CU member 9 January 2017
It strikes me that the CU has a preference for organic and soil-bound companies, while these companies do not deal efficiently with minerals, the cycle indicator shows that time and again. Why this choice?

As dairy farmers, we must be sustainable, animal-friendly and environmentally friendly. In other words we have to be friendly to everyone, but as a reward we are being squeezed hard by the retail. How can the government allow that?

there will be a new law on organic in Europe. European Commissioner Hogan wants to limit the size of organic companies. in order to preserve the future of the small farmers. as well as for public health.
only the Netherlands wants to prevent this. it mainly wants mega companies in the organic sector.
The interest representatives LTO and BIONEXT. want to get Timmermans so far to help that the size of pig and chicken farms etc. can grow in size indefinitely. while it is already the practice that organic grains for feed already give rise to shortages. manure also threatens to become a problem in organic farming.
ask; what does the CU think about this topic. small farmers a future. or will the CU also go for the big mega. So will CU also talk to Timmermans? about this subject?
Consumers think the image of organic is small-scale. and want mixed companies? not large specialized companies, which are set up with tax benefits. (disease pressure, environmental pressure, well-being)

Suppose I can complete the fertilization without fertilizer, can you create a possibility to half count the minerals from solid manure/straw manure? It concerns manure with a high dry matter content, of course, no tire manure
Pete 10 January 2017
How does your party differ from the other political parties?
Jan 10 January 2017
Is the CU for a small government?
Is the CU for TARGET regulations?
Or is the CU for resource prescriptions?
Is the CU for an open Europe?
Is the CU against imports that do not meet the EU requirements?
Is the CU for a level playing field for all (agricultural) ENTREPRENEURS?
Is the CU for a reliable government, which an entrepreneur can also rely on, and which can tailor its future to?
jojo 10 January 2017
The costs on the farm have risen in recent years, partly due to government decisions. A fact that forces the farmer to adjust the scale and/or make other choices.
What does Mrs. Faber think she can do about cost control that will make it more attractive to run an agricultural business???

When I hear your debate in the room, agriculture and gardeners must return
To horse and carriage and crooked gardeners
Bart van der Hoog 10 January 2017
What are your plans to strengthen the position of young farmers and horticulturists in the Netherlands?
Henk Kooistra 10 January 2017
Mrs Faber,

-What are you going to do about the ridiculous amount of regulations and their rigid enforcement in the coming period?
-Where do you draw the line when it comes to the size of companies? Wouldn't it be much easier for the future to just set a limit, to ensure that a good living can be earned within the desired size, instead of the current fumbling with all kinds of limitations that also don't work?
Arnold 10 January 2017
Carla Much needs to be done in the food producing sector in many areas. The problems are piling up around food production, there is no need to name them, they are well known. There are possibilities to solve them all without loss of revenue but within different concepts. The market position of the sector plays a crucial role in this. A brainstorming group has far-reaching ideas about this. We need politics as a facilitating body for this. The ideas are very new, so you ask, who in politics should we catch up with in order to gain support for these ideas in order to achieve maximum results.

since the Product Board has gone, there is no longer any regulation or enforcement on phytophthora sources of infection. the number of sources of infection increases with the number of hectares of organic potatoes (among others). who will intervene?
(the branch organization arable farming has still not started.)
Jos Steenhuis 11 January 2017
Agriculture has grown from food shortage to food surplus, which generally leads to poor prices. One of the solutions could be a further form of sustainability in our sector. In this way, more attention is paid to social and environmental policy. Sustainability is a long-term policy. Are you prepared to steer this, By supporting certain developments and where necessary also financially more than now.

The stopper arrangement: kill slaughter or go abroad
I've never heard that pregnant cows go abroad and we don't slaughter pregnant cows
It is expected that the stopper arrangement will have a lot of effect, but not in this way
When will the long awaited clarity come????????????

smart ass 11 January 2017
we ask questions to someone with little knowledge of agriculture and they are too small as a party, in short, nothing to crumble in the milk, a waste of time
frans 12 January 2017
The dredged material [heavily polluted] near overflows disappears everywhere in the most bizarre way and eventually ends up back in the food chain via compost, among other things.
the government itself has virtually no regulations and no controls whatsoever, seen in this light, my question is how reliable are you as a controlling government body towards the farmers.
You can no longer respond.
