- Despite its small size and dense population the Netherlands makes far more food than it can eat. This is how a nation that was once starving under the Nazis has now become a world leader in farming techniques and agriculture technologies.

Dutchman Syndrome:
- Whenever and wherever Dutch is mentioned, loads of Dutchmen will comment they're Dutch.
Jep
We're proud people and happy to be recognised on international levels
I’m Dutch 😛
I am bored
This happens with a few more countries. For example I've also seen it under a video where they tasted Greek food, where the comment section was full of Greek people talking Greek or saying it wasn't prepared correctly.
But yes, we do.
Wageningen University & Research (WUR) is ranked as the #1 in Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Food in the world. It's all about building strong collaborations between the private - and public sector.
Together we achieve more!

Vertical farming is the future. Also, you forgot to talk about their university/college that specialises in agriculture ... its like the Harvard of farming. Vox or Vice or one of those types of youtube outlets did a great short doc. on it.

Toch wel beetje trots op Nederland
Soms mag je wel trots zijn op ons landje!

+S Dew Ik krijg de indruk dat je übehaupt niet naar school bent geweest. Het Nederlandse onderwijs bevordert namelijk kritisch denken, en focust daarbij op dingen die mis zijn in onze en de wereldsamenleving. Er ligt nog steeds een nadruk op hoe Nederland staat in de wereld, maar dat is kennelijk niet zo nationalistisch als jij wenst dat het is.
@@SDeww ik zou met "soms" bedoelen dat ik me niet bepaald trots voel als ik naar dit soort geleuter moet luisteren. Domme rechtse bullshit.

Bloody hell. Some countries are really advanced

Mainstream is not talking about the Dutch farmers
This is the result when there is a national commitment between the private sector, the people and the government.
Imagine if America ever did this for its people.
yeah, if only
Lol they can barely talk about universal healthcare before starting a civil war. I doubt their bureaucracy would try this.
they will, for their cattle
America is a whole other story. The Netherlands has very expensive land, so farmers have to use every square inch and are forced to innovate to be able to compete. In America land is very cheap and they just use big scale strategies to lower the prices.
@@timo3724 The problem with that is it is ultimately unsustainable. The Ogalla Aquifer for example in the Mid West might be depleted by 2040. They need innovation to make it sustainable.

Special thanks dear Bloomberg !
Vl'ado. Nov 02,2018
I'm Dutch and I can proudly say.. Bloomberg once again has their numbers off.
We're number 2 mostly due to exporting expensive agricultural stuff that's either not edible (like flowers) or has low nutritional value but is valuable (strawberries in the winter for example). So we're second in *value*.
The rest, from what I know or could check is more or less correct. Famine, state funding, optimization.. For some reason I couldn't find the 4L water per kg of strawberries, but there are a ton of programs about reusability going on an a *lot* use strawberries in greenhouse so, probably true
Ik ben allochtoon
Wtf "kilograms" of milk? You aren't wrong for using kg but since we're talking about a fluid it'll be beter to talk about liters not kg. But atleast it's still better than gallons and ounces
They are correct. A kilogram is a measurement of mass that is constant, while a litre is a measurement of volume. The kilogram is a constant value that doesn't change depending on the state of the milk (frozen, liquid or gas). So if you were to measure the number of litres they produce, it would depend on what state it is stored at. If 1 kilogram of milk is frozen, it could take up 1 litre of volume.
@@Stormfox93 As matter of fact liquid milk is more dense than frozen milk, as milk is basically water.
@@Quintinohthree That would mean that mass is lost when it changes from liquid to frozen, which is against laws of nature.
@@Stormfox93 No, it means that water expands when it freezes. You do realize ice floats right?
Jaa doe mij maar een kilootje melk en 2 litertjes tomaten A.U.B
We have to save the soil for our next generation
Back when the Netherlands had actual experts as its ministers instead of trained politicians.
How things has change for the worse. Sad
I Commando
Atleast we are not starting war with other countries
From 1960 to 2000 we spoiled the gas ,everything was possible and now there’s nothing left.
The norwegians did a much better job with their natural resources.
At the time they couldn’t handle all the wealth from the gas and made a lot of stupid decissions, and now the gas is all but gone en the next generations are left with no gas and high taxes.
Like brandon from 90210, he had millions and now he’s selling cars for a living.
That’s what happened to the netherlands.
@@xxjeroen You have no idea what you are talking about. Comparing the natural recources of the Netherlands to those of Norway is laughable. Norway has amounts of natural recources in their ground that the Netherlands never had. Norway has much more oil than the Netherlands.
Besides that, we did not run out of gas. We stopped using gas because of the earthquake problems in Groningen. There is still gas in our soil but we decided not to use it anymore for the sake of our people/inhabitants.
I commando,
The Netherlands is still an agricultural expert/leader. We have the most advanced agricultural university's and techniques. And we are still the second largest agricultural exporter in the world. So things have not changed for the worse. They've only become better.
@@RobinJanssen976 The only reason the growth happened was due to lobbying from universities and farmers. Left parties such as SP and GroenLinks wanted to cut budget a long time ago. Hence my comment that we need ministers that are fights for their branch which will only happen when you put a someone from that sector into the Tweede kamer.
As mentioned: the gas bubble we found is in the upper north province of Groningen (Greenings if you translate from old Dutch) and the bottom is quite instable now. Houses there are going down and some are even collapsing. Indeed agriculture flourished because of the gas bubble, but because of this problem, we have to convert to new systems in the greenhouses. Also, global warming starts to be a big issue, and despite the discussion, the conversion starts as well now. The Netherlands had the dryest year in two centuries and probably since Roman times. Large parts of NL are below sea level and great parts of soil are made of peat. If that dries up, the peat just rots away, causing the ground to sink away. The Netherlands is going down, sea levels are rising and we need to innovate even more to keep our country floating again. Where Americans have tons of land to retreat on, we do not. The battle continues and the quest for our country starts all over again.
Je hoeft het niet uit te leggen hoor, iedereen in de comments hier is toch Nederlands
I'm a Kiwi, but mostly Dutch at heart. So you are half right :)
But, hey, you're already started doing something about those problems too. That is the Nederland.

There are so many greenhouses here that it stays kinda light at night around my place. I'm really proud of what my country did!
this is insane. if they can optimize efficiency so well, why can't every other country?
because they lack the scientific knowledge or are willfully ignorant to science
Slow and steady can win the race, too. Most of the world is fed by farms under 5 acres!
nice. Thanks heaps for this.
18,370 km2 agricultural area of which 59.1 km² are covered by greenhouses, that's 1/310.82sd or 1/311th of the total agricultural land area. While Dutch population is 17.08 million (2017). Total land area is 41,543 km2. This leaves 21,173 km2 for non-agricultural purposes. American population is 350 million which is 20.49 times of the Dutch population.
So, what are you trying to say?
This super-intensive agriculture is what's making me willing to migrate.
We are so important yet out government wants us gone, sad times
great video! Hopefully, they can help developing nations-
They do. Thousands of students from all over the world are studying at the main agricultural university. Flanders, the Rhineland and China are among the first regions in the world to copy the methods used in the Netherlands.
Oh no! Government intervention in the farming industry?! Look at the chaos and inefficiency they wrought!
funny thing is that when you look at EU farming subsidies is that the Dutch farmers are at or near the bottom every year.

@@Snoflakes_1 tru dat
Thank you! Interesting video 🙌
You have not mentioned the issues relating to the Groningen gas field.
The Dutch government decided in January 2014 to the cut output. There has been a growing risk and thus concern about the amount of damage to properties due to earthquakes. In March 2018 the government announced it would shut down the gas extraction entirely by 2030 for safety reasons. Some say too little too late.
But what is not explained is the effect of less cheap fuel for those green houses.
Maybe something you can report on?
The greenhouses need electricity for their growthlights and operations, they also need heat to achieve optimum growingconditions andthey actually use a fair amount of CO2 to turbo charge plant growth.
As a large concentration of these greenhouses exists between Rotterdam and The Hague and the port of Rotterdam hosts major industrial complexes it was decided to build a vast undergound network of pipes which transports excess heat (warm water), CO2 from the plants to the greenhouses and of course there’s plenty of electricity generating capacity in Rotterdam. So shutting down the gas extraction might have a marginal price effect, it won’t be an existential threat to the greenhouses
Really now? A report in agriculture in the Netherlands doesn't touch on a completely separate subject? How terrible odd.
The thumbnail makes it look like a whole different revolution

Bet they, the Dutch, don't spent $700 billion on their military.
We spend about $12 billion this year. And that's more than enough.
no, and why would we, we are a lot smaller than the usa and its just a waste of money
The Netherlands, am so lucky to be a dutchmen
Before the Germans invaded, there was a push to reclaim land for farming. Nord-Ost polder was created, but Flevo-polder where Leylestad is located, had to be put on hold due to the war.
Yes, Bloomberg is wrong about that part. The Netherlands started this not after World War 2, but after The Great War. The Dutch couldn't import the food it needed because of that war, which let to starvation.
Well food shortages in WW1 are the fault of the allies so of course its a touchy topic. Still, they are right that WW2 did bring a new focus and urgency to the measures, didnt it?

I find the final comment quite disturbing. Instead of checking our population growth, some people want to solve the problem with tech and are ignoring all the other implications on our habitat by ever growing numbers of humans.
I find more disturbing the fact that you want to stunt the growth of population. I find this whole over-population argument very anti-human, most of all because it isn't grounded on facts.
its predicted to level out at around 11 billion. Check Hans Roslings Ted talks, he's a UN prof with a great vids about the subject fertility.
@@niluscvp he was, he died last year. He was also member of the Swedish society of deciding who gets a Nobel Prize.
@Remsey the universe we live in is infinite, there's space for everyone. We'll surely figure it out, but stunting our growth as a species is a bad solution. The food that goes to waste in developed countries could end world hunger.
You forgot to mention that time when we produced so much milk that thousands and thousands of litres had to just been thrown away because there was way to many. This resulted in the government putting a cap on how much milk each farmer was allowed to produce.
GUTENTAG it was also because the prices were so low that the farmers dropped it on the street.
They say Indonesia is agricultural Country
It's really ironic the best agriculture Country is The Dutch lol
Maybe you mean agrarian society? And yeah, many Indonesians used to work on agriculture sector as low tech farmers but it already changed, many people work on industry and services sector now XD

Damn these people smart
Imagine if they had the land size of Ukraine
4:07 i think you got the calc wrong...
The numbers are closer to
27liters/kg of tomatoes! (and approx. 2.7 liters/a single fresh tomato!!!)
Still, none of this reduces a bit from huge achievement precision irrigation and high-end greenhouses tech, and with latest improvements these numbers could even drop lower :)
That's truly an incredible feat, given the country's small size. But let me tell you this: I've grown up in a country where 9/12 months of the year the fruits and vegetables we eat are naturally grown, and I've lived in the Netherlands since 2016 where I think almost a 100% of the food at any time always comes from greenhouses. And guess what: it tasted like plastic compared to the real deal. Tomatoes that crunch like apples, peppers that are picked to be visually perfect, yet have 0 to no taste, the fruits aren't any better either, and so on and so on.
Well thats what you get for paying little money. There certainly are tomato producers for example that do put more nutrience/minerals in to get better tasting tomatoes but obviously its more expensive. If its made for profit it will always be made cheaper.
@@Jerbod2 I am not an expert, but it does not sound logical that it has to do with putting in more nutrients and minerals. I think it is quality of (DNA in) seeds.
@@ronaldderooij1774 Nope, it's genuinly mostly that, although the genes probably have something to do with it. That's the very reason that putting proper compost or manure under plants makes them far more tasty. A very sterile piece of land without any of that would result in far less appetising food. It's an external factor so to speak.
100% from greenhouses??? Do some research please before making such arguments

@@CharDhue
You say feed, I say Sustain.
The difference? You talk about a singular need. I talk about sustaining a independent nation as a whole.
That includes food...
Also if we stop exporting it is more than likely you that will be hungrier.
We supply at least a quarter of the world with food. The only food we import for the most part is luxury foods items (chips, candy, cheeses, Ben&jerry's icecream, etc...)
why do i feel so proud im not even dutch
And there's still plenty of grass fields. You drive on the highway, and you'll see a lot of unused land.
This land is used to feed livestock and is not unused
1) Mansvelt has nothing to do with the creation of Flevoland. That started before WW II. 2) The cooperation of the farmers, called NSB, was a main reason for increased productivity. 3) The milking robot did not increase milk production so much. This increase happened mainly before the introduction of the robot. Breeding was much more important. Almost all cows are born with the use of A.I. 4) The combining of private property was an important government program. That can be credited to Mansvelt. However that program resulted in creating large industrial farms, called LOG, around the year 2007. This should have been an ecological solution but of cause it was not. Building enormous stables/barn is not the way to be ecologic. That program stopped luckily.
And sadly a lot of agricultur area has been turned into so called nature. Most of Netherlands was and is not nature but shaped by the Dutch. Nothing wrong with that. See the landscape around Kinderdijk. All created by the Dutch and very beautifull and full of wildlive.
HOLLAND !
And our leaders want to destroy this sector
We grow it, the Americans eat it
Most of it is sold to the the European Union and the UK.
America barley import any Dutch agricultural foods also Dutch tomatoes are very inferior to American tomatoes so we don't really want anything from you no offensive.

@@mrbrainbob5320 there are more foods than tomatoes you know
@@megadwarf4714 Still inferior in quality and taste compared to their American counterparts also you can grow more variety of fruits and vegetables in the US than the Netherlands because of better climate.
"Use windmills to drain marshlands"
wtf that's fucking genius
These types of systems are incredibly fragile tho. Farming one crop that requires fossil fuel inputs is probably not going to be the future of farming. It calls for constant work against natural processes. Permaculture and other holistic land management practices are better options for our food production systems.
Timothy Masters ok, solutions?
They are actually changing that process at the moment, biogas installations turn the manure from the dairy farms into biogas which is then used to heat the greenhouses. This also has the extra benefit of not realeasing the methane from the manure into the air because that's a worse greenhouse gas than CO2. Is it a fragile system? It might be, but probably not more fragile than growing crops in the open air.

Potatoes
The Dutch don’t grow much wheat and rice, the ground is way too wet. The Dutch have been importing wheat from other countries at least since the 15th century (which did allow them to focus on more specialised products, such as milk, cheese and hemp),
@@renze7133 also, the famous VOC (Dutch East India Company) made most of it's money from wheat from Poland and Russia, importing to NL in the 17th century. It made the spice conquering in Indonesia possible...

@@Osvath97 i said that minerals are everything a plant needs for it's nutrients so adding minerals jist readds it time by time
@@therealmiddleground Except that it is very complicated, getting plants that are able to absorb the amount of nutrients in the specific amount of time is a problem. It is not as simple as you are trying to make it seem, to just: "add minerals".
@@Osvath97 it iss plants can absorb minerals and dissolve it very fast especcialy crops
unfortunately, cucumbers, tomatoes, paprikas and even organic milk from ekoplaza taste like water, but I need to admit it: even from shitiest milk they can do great cheese
1:03 the Soviets too...
The USSR was part of the Allies.
The Soviets raped themselves forward from one end of Europe, I would not exactly call that liberating.
Dutch deserved it for what they did it in Indonesia. Proud of those Germans.
1. the soviets were part of the allies
2. they didn't really liberate it since they occupied all captured territory

Because the Nazis treated others so much better, didn't they?
i did not know this. and i live there.
Very funny how you only casually mention the Americans role in the Dutch recovery.
Maybe because it wasn't the main point of the video.
LPyourplay The main point is the Dutch recovery which is a little dishonest since it wasn’t really the Dutch recovery it was the American investment in post war Europe
IHEartLReoy of course not, you’re only allowed to say bad things about americans
@@iheartlreoy8134 It was a Dutch recovery who do you think broke their backs day in day out? giving us money in the 50s doesn't mean our achievements are yours.
wouter038 No but it also doesn’t mean that you did everything when it wouldn’t have been possible for your country to have recovered the way it did without the United States, that’s just a fact.
proud of them i wish if we can do this too
Sounds great! But, we need to know what the nutritional values are vis traditional growth and `speed growth`.
