Yes of course there is a reason for a parliamentary inquiry, but it will not happen.... For years we have been told the wrong figures, but once the PvdA university from Wageningen has come up with figures, they will of course never revoked.... It was/is convenient for the politicians! Just like injecting the soil which destroys the soil life, they cannot go back... that costs too many claims from the industry with which they have concluded a covenant!

Dear people, what a debacle that would be. That is why our beautiful old oaks and other trees remain green in Twente and the Achterhoek. Grass has also already made a positive contribution to the solution, due to the conversion of ..... Farmers stay alert and follow this discussion closely. Whether this appeal can also be addressed to the agricultural organization's ears is open to question.

What to think about figures on phosphate buffering or spreading to groundwater? They are slightly older than nitrate studies and also produced under political pressure.

If the government provided WUR with a royal sum with a research question and made the amount dependent on a certain result, how would WUR have reacted? Could it be? At the time, a field of experts (I experienced it up close) commented on the result with valid arguments and were systematically placed in a suspect corner, as it turns out now. Perhaps it would be useful to take another look at who gave the order, I mean from which political affiliation. We have to imagine if an entrepreneur would have done something like that how radar (the media) would have reacted, for example. I wonder if there is an organization that dares to expose this mistake. Entrepreneurs have been tied to the highest tree for less. As an entrepreneur, the glass is always half full with me, so let's learn a lesson together. Those who suffer damage should be manfully compensated by those responsible, yes.....sigh...from public money.

why does WUR always have to conduct research that is paid for by the applicant? So that's why they have a right to exist.
look at cows in the meadow, it really isn't any better, but all studies indicate that it is research commissioned by Campina by the wur, so who pays that!
Again, this is ridiculous!

Farmers are constantly being bombarded with manipulated reports, which are often drawn up in such a way by the government itself, otherwise the story of politics will not be correct, to put the farmers in a bind

Of course there should be a parliamentary inquiry, but who will investigate this? The WUR probably again and they will of course not contradict themselves. So lto and nav do something.
