Synopsis
The greenhouse horticulture sector is experiencing a decisive period. The energy crisis, as well as government policy, underscore the urgency of sustainability. The documentary "Gas Erop?: Greenhouse Horticulture in Transition" shows how five different growers from the Westland region are preparing for the future. We see that the sector is still heavily dependent on fossil fuels. Are the current climate goals realistic? And does Dutch greenhouse horticulture still have a future? The documentary will be broadcast in its entirety on Omroep West and as a three-part series on local broadcaster WOS.
This production was made as part of DocLokaal.
