In addition to Rhenen, Renswoude and Veenendaal, the Gelderland municipalities of Barneveld, Ede, Nijkerk, Scherpenzeel and Wageningen work together in the Foodvalley Region. NRC wrote yesterday that the cabinet is putting the provinces to work to significantly reduce nitrogen emissions over the next eight years. In areas such as the Gelderse Vallei, according to the newspaper, this must be reduced by 70 to 80 percent, percentages that experts believe are unfeasible without buying out farmers on a large scale.
Valley municipalities want to immediately see the government’s nitrogen plans: ‘Foodvalley without agriculture is not conceivable’
