Nederland wil weer ruimte maken voor boer, natuur en bouw. Daarvoor moeten we van het stikstofslot af. Dat heeft consequenties voor veel mensen in onze samenleving, waaronder onze boeren. Vandaag ging ik op uitnodiging van LTO in gesprek met een aantal boeren over wat het stikstofpakket voor hun bedrijven kan betekenen. Zij hebben allen ideeën, wensen en zorgen rondom de noodzakelijke veranderingen. Met als belangrijke boodschap: zorg voor rust en duidelijkheid met oog voor de diversiteit van de sector. Door met elkaar in gesprek te blijven kunnen we samen op een goede manier werken aan perspectief. #stikstof #landbouw #sustainability
