Maak kennis met de nieuwe LVVN-raad in Polen: Jouke Knol   Vanuit de Nederlandse ambassade in Warschau zet Jouke Knol zich in om de banden met #Polen, #Slowakije en #Tsjechië – de landen in zijn werkgebied – te versterken en de Nederlandse overheid, bedrijfsleven en NGO’s in de landbouw en #natuur te verbinden met de markt aldaar. Met name als het gaat om duurzame land- en kassenbouw, diergezondheid, bodemkwaliteit, energietransitie en klimaatadaptatie.   In januari 2025 neemt Polen het EU-voorzitterschap op zich, een belangrijke mijlpaal die kansen biedt voor intensievere samenwerking. Knol: ‘We willen beleidsmatig nauwer samenwerken, marktkansen verzilveren en laten zien wat Nederland kan bijdragen aan #duurzame #landbouw en de #energietransitie.’   🔗 Lees het volledige interview hier https://lnkd.in/d4hy95b9 Olaf K.

De denktank heeft de afgelopen anderhalf jaar belanghebbenden gesproken en onderzoek gedaan.
