Paul Valk vindt dat ZLTO-bestuurder Remco Beekers in zijn oproep tot een 'eerlijk debat over gewasbescherming' zelf ook eerlijk moet zijn. 'Dat zorgen over gewasbeschermingsmiddelen vooral berusten op emotie is onjuist.'

Koeienstallen stoten meer stikstof uit dan gedacht, blijkt uit nieuw onderzoek
Melkveestallen stoten flink meer stikstof uit dan tot nu toe werd aangenomen. Die nieuwe kennis vraagt om een aanpassing van de stikstofmodellen. De precieze gevolgen daarvan zijn nog onduidelijk.

Sterk gesprek tussen Polanski (lijsttrekker vd Green Party in Groot-Brittanië) en Monbiot (schrijver en columnist voor The Guardian), over verwevenheid van sociale rechtvaardigheid en milieubescherming, over strijd tussen kapitalisme en democratie.
I had a great conversation with the wonderful @zackpolanski.bsky.social on his podcast. Do please listen in. I don't think you'll have heard anything quite like it. And there's a LOT more here than the title suggests. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...
