[Applause]
we're in the supermarket the apples come from
france
the celery is meat
ireland the bananas colombia
we have all the food of the
world all year round
thanks to the market we did
well or not
well yes if you look closely at the
origin of the food you can of
course imagine that there is a problem
among the dutch population
to feed for a year there must be hundreds of
millions of kilometers of peace from the
farmer to the processing from the processor
to distribution set
and then from the distribution center back
to our supermarket all that transport
co2 that is released as a result not so good
for the climate
we can still see the origin of the food
if we look closely at the
supermarket
what we do not see is that one
has happened to our food at the farmer
by processing
afterwards let's do that or can the market the market
revolves around profit so for
profit people can mess with our food
how our food is safe
we don't actually think about it when our pre-p
ckaged piece of meat is in our shopp
ng cart pathetic what we also do not see is th
t for now we spend only a ver
small part of it ends up with the farme
in the b
st case scenario a quarter and often a lot
less
that the farmers are under enormous financial
pressure and that is why a lot of
farmers quit a company here the
municipality of ede the number of
farms has decreased over the past 15 years
from twelve hundred to 800 and
the prognosis is that in 15 years' time there will be
half or maybe make I a quarter of what
remains a
bit of a shame for all those farmers who
close
their farms the companies that remain are
getting bigger
how is that maize to the horizon a
bit of a shame about the beautiful
small-scale farming landscape where
we like to ride a bicycle
the farmer that do not go bankrupt can
actually do nothing but fatten a fiber as quickly
as possible and drain the
soil with unilateral
fertilization and chemical
pesticides
not so good for the environment take a
look at soil life, you know those
small and petty little animals in the
soil that ensure that the soil
remains fertile, just like in the
whole of western europe, the agricultural land
here is also seriously threatened soil life
is under severe pressure, this land can
still survive our grandchildren I stand
a supermarket and get married thinking about it
I get a bit despondent I feel
powerless the consumer
the farmers here make an environment that
produces produce for the world and I
buy food from far away
so my choice here a supermarket
have no consequences for the
agriculture
around this
go to the cash register checkout don't think about it yes
what else can I grow my own
food then yes I see it
some of those think you have had the
vegetable garden or your parents have a
vegetable garden
may not have been an undivided success a
whole summer every second tell me what
my father has e I had an allotment garden
and luckily it didn't last long but I
will never forget that we
had to eat a zone that had blown
lettuce let's say lettuce that was harvested too late just lettuce
boys are my father he was proud
that the bud saved you from the snails
my tougher it was i thought then that
never learn
you know how it goes the blood creeps
where it can't go i have a
backyard too what is someone behind a
garden of
fruit and vegetables it's fantastic
to see it all grow and bloom
that plum that pluck like u really strips
taste really great yes you don't need to be an
expert to see that me and
my Brussels sprouts from the world are
not going to solve the food problem in
fact i can't even
feel myself so this is not going to work
there is no alternative to the market
i thought until I read that a
gentleman's farm will be established in ede and a gentleman's
farm is a cooperative
farm
devised a number of smart agricultural from
boxtel north Brabant
here in the Netherlands rland for a
manor farm we need two hundred
households
we brought together a piece of land put in some
money to make that land ready for
use and then we hire a farmer to
produce for us vegetables fruit meat and
eggs outside the market on
people this is not an allotment garden and
gentlemen's farm
is a professional knowledge-intensive
farm
here, according to the latest insights, it is produced
in an environmentally friendly way
that the soil
is reached instead of the poor that
it has a lot of quality of life
and, not unimportantly, that the farmer
receives a decent wage
and we as members from the cooperative
we get first-class sustainable food
for them approximately supermarket prices is
possible that is possible yes that is possible every
euro we spend
goes to the farm for 100%
there is no one who makes a profit there is
no one who will eat with us for profit
mess
we know where our food comes from
our own farm we know how he it is
produced as we want it to be
safer than that you can
and it works in boxtel has been running a
gentleman farm
for a number of years and an entire farm
is already a small-scale farm,
but the idea behind it is not
small-scale nonsense it has been calculated
that if all the dutch
would become a gentleman farmer to use only one third of the
agricultural land here in the Netherlands
has two thirds left for other fun
things so this is a realistic
alternative for the market and we citizens
we can organize it ourselves
but what
appeals most to gentlemen farm is that you
if here brother no longer just a
consumer with this society does not
like to see us as a consumer and through a
cart in the store all those products
that have been advertised a lot in
laren and then find out at home that
you have too much because you are going to throw a part
away as men's trousers you are not
only a consumer, you are also a producer
of sustainable food because you definitely
take part in it is produced and how it is
produced and you also see the
consequences of your choice you can see on your plate
precipitate less sleep more chicken less
often more importantly you see the
consequences of your choice for the environment
let me give an example a
manor farm for two hundred
households is budgeted on 20 hectares of
land on those hectares of land
grow our fruit and our green forests
there our chickens our pigs and we
grow winter fodder a
lot are the other ten
hectares needed for that before the
steak we love to eat look, you start to
think, two hundred
households could eat of
that and I think that's a brilliant idea of a gentl
man's farm becau
e you are involved in the production you see w
at the market is hiding from us and t
en you consciously deal with your food under
tand me right this is not a plea
against the market
we can not do without the market also not
for some of our
food I am going here in ed we
really don't breed on a gentlemen's farm
but the market has shown that it
cannot ensure that our soil
remains healthy that our livestock has a
quality of life and that our
food is reliable so as citizens let us use
the food that
can be produced here that we organize it ourselves
how it is produced you are me
our food is too important to leave to the
market
it is for us the most important
source of energy
that is
[Applause]
