Business France Netherlands

🌱 Did you know the Netherlands is a global leader in seed science and technology? 🌍 Last week, François Alabrune, French Ambassador to the Netherlands, had the pleasure of meeting Ben Tax, CEO of Rijk Zwaan, a family-run business and a world leader in seed selection and production. With nearly 4,000 dedicated employees, Rijk Zwaan plays a critical role in enhancing global food security by providing high-quality seeds to growers in over 100 countries. 🔬 The company’s commitment to research and innovation is evident, as they develop disease-resistant vegetable varieties tailored to the challenges of climate change. Their advanced technologies, like artificial intelligence and digital phenotyping, are driving the future of sustainable agriculture. 🥬🍅 From lettuce and tomatoes to cucumbers, eggplants, bell peppers, melons, and more, Rijk Zwaan offers an impressive variety of seeds that fuel a wide range of crops worldwide. 🇫🇷 Rijk Zwaan France also owns cutting-edge research facility in Aramon, France (Gard), which focuses on developing vegetable varieties adapted to Mediterranean and Central/Eastern European climates. This site spans over 60 hectares, including 9 hectares of greenhouses, and is a core hub for innovation. A huge thanks to the Rijk Zwaan Meta van Ruijven, Florent Rezeau team for hosting us and sharing their insights! #FoodSecurity #AgTech #Sustainability #Innovation #Research #SeedScience #ClimateChange #GlobalAgriculture

Happy #WorldHydrogenDay! 🌍💧   On 8 October, we celebrate globally the most abundant element in the universe.    #DYK?   ➡ The name #hydrogen comes from the Greek words, hydro meaning ‘water’, and gene, meaning ‘forming’.   ➡ It is a superlative element: the lightest, smallest, and simplest!  ➡ Stars are made of hydrogen, which provides them the energy to keep shining for billions of years.  ➡ The atomic weight of hydrogen is 1.008 – which looks very similar to the American way of writing dates. Hence, our celebrations take place today, 8 October.    And last but not least:  ➡ There's a whole week dedicated to all things hydrogen coming up on 18-22 November in Brussels. What better day than today to register (free of charge!) to the European Hydrogen Week?    See you there 👉 https://lnkd.in/eYJFBwBK    #HydrogenNow #EUH2Week

#Organicwine is not in crisis! 39% of organic wine buyers have purchased their first bottle of organic wine in the past 12 months, and 37% have increased their purchases in the same period. Young #winelovers may be drinking less, but they are much more selective about what they put in their glass and have no intention of turning their backs on organic wine. This trend is confirmed by the fact that 71% of organic wine buyers say they are motivated by environmental concerns.

Afgelopen dagen vertoefde ik in het wijngebied #LanguedocRoussillon met 5 Nederlandse wijnschrijvers. We bezochten verschillende klanten van emilia kloostra van KLOOSVINS FRANCE MEDITERRANEE. We begonnen in de #Roussillon bij de honderdjarige coöperatie Dom Brial . Tijdens een gezellig diner in het plaatsje #Rivesaltes genoten we o.a. van een fantastische Rivesaltes Grande Reserve uit 1969; merci Laura Sicard . Onze tweede dag begon met een rondleiding en proeverij bij Cellier des Demoiselles waar Anaël Payrou ons op een diverse wijnen 🍷 en een heerlijke barbecue 🍗 trakteerde . In de middag gingen de journalisten terug in de schoolbanken voor een leerzame presentatie bij La Maison des Vins Saint-Chinian. Toen werd het tijd om calorieën te verbranden tijdens een mooie fietstocht 🚵🏽♀️ door de wijngaarden onder leiding van de Nederlandse Menno van #Vinebike. Onze tweede dag eindigde met een diner in het gezelschap van Stéphane Moulinier , de huidige eigenaar van Domaine Moulinier , die vele oude jaargangen uit zijn privé wijnkelder haalde🍷🍷. Een nacht 🌙 in de cellen van Hôtel La Prison - Béziers ; de voormalige gevangenis van Beziers ; was geen straf na deze intense maar leuke dag. Op onze laatste dag in de #Languedoc zagen we nog één van de laatste oogsten binnenkomen in de kelder van SCEA PREIGNES LE VIEUX. Na een lunch met regionale specialiteiten in het historische Château van de familie was het tijd om afscheid te nemen van Jérôme et Aurélie VIC om naar het vliegveld ✈️ van Montpellier te rijden. Veel dank aan alle lieve mensen die ons gastvrij hebben ontvangen maar vooral dank aan emilia kloostra van KLOOSVINS FRANCE MEDITERRANEE en haar man Jason die ons overal naartoe heeft gereden 🚌. De wijnen van bovengenoemde bedrijven zijn verkrijgbaar in Nederland 🇳🇱.
