MORE SUSTAINABLE CULTIVATIONPlanetProof has a broad approach to sustain-able fruit and vegetable cultivation, with the most important PlanetProof sustainability themes in this area being
Energy and climate Crop protection Biodiversity and landscape Soil fertility
ON THE WAY TO PLANETPROOF‘On the way to PlanetProof’ is the international name for Milieukeur Plant products. Planet-Proof’s sustainability criteria are identical to those of Milieukeur. As of 1 January 2019, Milieukeur for Plant products will be replaced by PlanetProof.
Healthy crops Encouraging biological and mechanical control
of diseases, pests, and weeds Restricting the use of pesticides
Fertile soil Maintaining organic matter content of the soil Usingfertilisersefficiently
Biodiversity and landscapeProtection of nature and landscape through measures including: Placing borders of flowers and flowering herbs
around plots Creating nesting opportunities for birds, bees, etc.
Clean water Preventing emissions of pesticides and
fertilisers into groundwater and surface water Saving and reusing water
Energy and climate Reducing our carbon footprint through measures including: Limiting energy consumption Using renewable energy Limiting nitrous oxide emissions
(soil/fertilisation measures)
Packaging and waste Enabling the effective recycling of plastic
packaging Waste treatment and separation
