"Most good inventions in greenhouse farming come from a crisis. Even with environmentally-conscious production, many growers often opt for the organic solution only when a pesticide is taken off the market. Simply because people always want to keep doing the same thing and are not open enough to change."
"In a market-driven sector, it is difficult to compete on sustainability if it is barely enforced by customers, consumers and/or legislation. Therefore, it is difficult for individual companies to prioritise sustainability. Rising energy costs or clear sustainable segmentation I now see as the only incentive outside legislation."
"Because most growers agree that flowers don't have to be edible."
"Because sustainability costs a lot of money which is not easily recovered."
"The investment is greater than the yield. Certainly small growers cannot keep their heads above water with these costs."
