We need new solutions for challenges of this scale.

Big thank to @RogierSchulte for putting the new generation of farmers at the center of such an inspirational speech!
It’s about enabling a generation facing “uncertainties”, one “who wants to farm sustainably & doesn’t need to be told why but rather how”
