'Slurry belongs on and not in the ground'

The Association for the Conservation of Farmers & the Environment (VBBM) has been fighting for above-ground manure application for 28 years, provided that the manure meets a number of strict conditions. In order to preserve the 'deflection plate', VBBM submitted a manifesto to the Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV) committee.

VBBM chairman Erik Valk explains in the studio why the ideas of the association are more current than ever. After the manifesto, MPs Tjeerd de Groot (D66) and Frank Futselaar (SP) submitted a motion to Minister Carola Schouten. However, she announced that she would deny the motion.
