Other info. Farmers and gardeners work incredibly hard every day for our food, the landscape, and society as a whole. Agriculture and horticulture are part of the solutions to many challenges facing society as a whole. From healthy food to employment, from economic growth to climate challenges and from keeping the countryside livable to ensuring a green living environment. Farmers and horticulturalists keep Limburg healthy!
Intersections
The agricultural sector does not shy away from societal tasks and extends a hand to regional stakeholders - as we call our partners in the region in our new direction document Kompas 2030 - to innovate together and bridge challenges. ShiftLimburg can serve as an important tool in this regard. More information about Compass 2030 can be found here.
