Making sustainable farming profitable - The general perception by growers is that mid and high-tech farming is costly and thus not profitable. We, as Rijk Zwaan experts, are working hard to prove to growers & investors that, although initial (high) investments need to be made, modern (focus on sustainability & food safety) farming still can be profitable.
