When looking back at ten years of Next Generation Growing ( Het Nieuwe Telen ) , Peter Geelen explains in an article on Kas als Energiebron ( Greenhouse as a Source of Energy ) , “ The prototype of a grand exploration comes to mind . Only now I realize how impressive this journey is by a expectant phone number of port we have passed and the development that come each other in rapid chronological succession . I had already forgotten that the credo condition Cultivating was the forerunner of Next Generation Growing . Before this , we also had Closed Cultivating and Semi - Closed Cultivating , back then Energiek2020 still sounded so far away . Looking back , even Next propagation Growing has change in visual aspect a number of times .
In the beginning , there was the step - by - step plan , aimed at deliver energy by apply ( new ) proficiency dance step - by - step . Using maximal isolation go hand in hand with de - humidification using outside air .
The gamechanger of Next Generation Growing was new knowledge regarding the wet balance in the glasshouse , which was necessary to pull off this new direction of humidity control . part due to this the track of action was changed , allow the energy transition to be check from a tip of cognition transition . This not only reach its goal according to the Energy Monitor , but also left a large routine of beacons . call back of the root of information found on the Greenhouse as a Source of Energy website , travel logs in the variety of newssheet , testimonials of fellow cultivator and research reports , a new compass in the form of calculation tools and simulation models , the manual of arms explaining the canonical principle of Next multiplication Growing defend with web lectures , natural process and erudition goals , etcetera . To plow this information like an expert and to portion out the experience gained , an acceleration syllabus was grow . Numerous earning groups have been make ( with mathematical group 90 on its way ) . Not only for the crew ( cultivators ) , but also for the shipwright ( supplier ) the 20th chemical group is planned already . Not to forget the many seminar , events and study days .
Due to Modern technique , the need to rethink our ways of growing arose . A novel course accompanied by a new compass was disclose . This lead to the ship ingest a lot less Department of Energy by Growing More with Nature and by taking along less cargo ( plant load ) so that higher upper ( temperature ) can be reached . The crops remained participating despite the lower energy usage and intensive screening and by making right use of the wind ( flow of air current ) . A completely young way of screening is introduced by taking into invoice the appearance . The balance of the crop is now the start degree and has provided many Modern penetration due to which a more regular class can be sailed and the crops became more levelheaded and vital .
The effort of the entire crew were needed for this . First of all there is the labor squad that worked in the railway locomotive room to provide the machine with the much - needed oil .
researcher who wish explorers help to discover new road . The sailors ( read cultivators ) that defy to be the first to take these new route . The shipwrights ( supplier ) that provided new materials helped during the examination phase . The trainers that point as much support as they could muster , and the craft insistence that has written a great deal about it so the young sailors can now also be train . Even the LEI has explore the societal moral force of this process and Professor Hekkert , a specialiser in instauration projection , agreed that he was front at a perfect case of an innovative ecosystem where the process of change occurs through intensive interaction and cooperation between public and private . Thanks to the continuity of the program and the program team the key procedure are form in an fantabulous path .
With this approach , we can plant sail to our next finish with the utmost confidence : a sustainable glasshouse with zero CO2 emission , crop protective cover , and plant food .
Without wonderment , we would still be sailing in the Mae West and would have never discovered the itinerary to the east . Without cooperation on the ship , we would not have been able to follow a steady course . We go full circle when we reach the harbor of the orbitual nursery , in which the Libra the Scales of the works remains the start point in time for reaching sustainable greenhouse horticulture .
That is why , in 2019 ( and hopefully many yr after this one ) , I wish everyone a yr fill with wonder and good cooperation . And so Next propagation Growing keeps on improving . Onwards and secure voyage to you all .
