He starts the story in 1970, but really he should have started it in 1944 as there was widespread hunger in the Netherlands because of WW2. All Dutch agricultural policy since has to be seen in the light of "never again", just as the water management got a boost after the flood disaster in 1953, we said "never again". And if the Dutch collectively say "never again" they will make a sustained, multi generational collective effort to make it so. I think that stubborness (remember we also had the longest war of independence, ever) is both a trait, but also a hindrance.
Exactly. Hongerwinter of 1944 and the watersnoodramp in 1953, these two events are the basis for respectively agriculture and water management in the Netherlands as we know today. Not the seventies or so.
@@peli71 And the fact that we lost our colonial areas. We had to produce everything ourselves and buy on the world market, so everything we could do 'in house' was stimulated.
Together with an efficiency reform of agriculture, bigger farms meant less farmers, and over half a million farmers left for the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand with help from the government, to continue their business in a new home country.
Ruilverkaveling: Some farms had ten pieces of land spread out over a large area, by forced exchange of land, every farm got their land close to their living and business buildings. The unworkable situation was caused by many centuries of our inheritance system where farms were divided among sons.
When the EU (EEC than) started the Netherlands were a big receiver of subsidy, we used it to help and reform the agriculture, and now we have become one of the larger payers into the system.
That is why we are the country that is not opposed to EU subsidies, but for efficient use of them, they are not give aways but to improve the situation in other countries.

And at the same time the EU wants us to hand over everything to eastern EU countries.....

One of the reasons why the focus on agriculture stayed was the famine of 1944 when the allies occupied the South of the country and the Germans the North leading to disruption of logistics. This made food autarchy a popular political idea.

I went on a high school trip to the Flower-trade in Aalsmeer .
I felt like I was inside a computer system or a machine..everything went so smooth,fast and very well planned.
I think i've seen about a million flowers that day.
Imagine what kind of economic powerhouse The Netherlands would be like if it had the size of The U.S. or Russia.
Thank got we didn't have it then. With our mentallity we would have conquerd the world and we would have probable really ruled the world with an iron hand. Perhaps with a velvet glove on it but underneath..
Part of why we became so civill is that we always where small and knew we needed to adapt to and sort of work with others to keep up.
and ofcourse getting totally creamed a couple of times in history is good on the humilty factor 😉.
@@arturobianco848 well we did conquer alot in the past... we were once the powerhouse of the world (17th and 18th century) we have beaten England, Spain and France in the past.
@@BierdopjeNL Even when the Dutch Republic was the supreme world power it was that economically, military the Spanish Empire, the British and the French were at least equals. It was always about trade and self defence, and unfair trade, and greed. But the desire to conquer and rule foreign peoples like the monarchies with their feudal reflexes had was unlike the Dutch, empire was seen as too expensive. The Dutch were only with 1.5 million and most had great jobs so the trade empire ran on about half foreign sailors. The Dutch didn't force their culture and language on the Indonesians for example, they studied their culture and language to exploit them better.
Even the invasion and conquest of Britain was not like we're in charge now, it was more like let them think and feel like it's their own revolution because that's good for popular support and stability. The Dutch empire was probably more like the American neocolonial empire post WWII than like the British, French or the Spanish empire.
I helped a friend out for a couple of weeks in the flower business once, and not just the auction is huge in Aalsmeer. But what impressed me most was the trading spirit of those very Hollandic flower people. I'm from the North and don't shy away from a good deal and efficiency, but these people were next level.

Wow, as a Dutchman i am aware of the agricultural technology but being this size of a lead nation in the world. I'm stunned. o.O
Elke Nederlander weet dit 🤪
yes brother. we are amazing :)
two notable things about the Dutch agriculture sector
1. Around 20-25% of the exports are from flowers. Since exports numbers are measured in money, and flowers are relatively expensive, the Dutch agriculture sector is actually a little bit weaker than the data would suggest on first glance
2. There's currently a large political discussion going on about farming in the Netherlands. Basically we have some nature areas that are only allowed have a certain amount of nitrogen added to them every year to avoid negatively influencing the ecological balance. Recently a high court ruled that the government has to put measures in place to reach the European targets they signed up to. Traffic and industry release NO2, but a large part of the nitrogen emissions are in the form of NH3, which mainly comes from raising animals. Some politicians have called for measures such as a forced buy-out of farmers near nature areas, or plans to halve to amount of livestock raised in the country. Farmers, who have been trying to keep up with the increasingly strict environmental requirements, are obviously not too happy (understatement) over these proposals. Especially because many farms have been owned by the same family for generations. Many farmers simply cannot imagine what life would be without their traditional way of life
It's very nice to see an American guy be this open and mind blown about us Dutchies, just know that most Dutchies look up to America, I even went on a trip to America that lasted 10 weeks.
Really proud to be a Horticulture student. The innovation is just so good. Especially the enviromental parts of it. We try to use as much organic fertilizers and use biological pest control instead of deadly chemicals. I think it's weird they gave so much credits to the university tho, of course they did A LOT, but the first ever greenhouses were invented back in 1850 in "gemeente Westland". And over here is were it all begun.
Good to say this🙏👌👍

Pls explain organic fertilizers and its components . U mean manure,compost or something else. Quite excited to learn about something new.
@@jackdon6926 For example they can use fertilizers made from algae :)
@@MaximusFrisia wow
United States is about 237 times bigger than Netherlands. So think about the production we Dutch could get out of the US and agriculture is only one part where we can make a difference.
Despite all the effort, the environmental cost is very high still. And the US does not have as fertile land as we have, not by a long shot.
@@ronaldderooij1774 thank God most of the fruit and vegetables we produce and we are leading in are grow in greenhouses without the use of soil 😁

@@markschattefor6997 I know. Every coin has a flip side is all I want to say.
Let's not forget the contribution of tha Wageningen university to the tourism industry in Amsterdam, it's those students in their spare time in the 70's, 80's who made Nederwiet (Netherweed) legendary powerfull. (I've suggested several video's through the form and they are all not about Amsterdam, even the rather funny coffeeshop one is about Utrecht).
I might add a few things this foreign videomaker missed. There was a famine in 1945 in the last year of the war and government was so scared of not being able to feed the population ever again that it encouraged people to migrate to Canada, the USA and Australia in the 50's. Actually agricultural technology was imported from the USA back then.
Another thing is is that's an egalitarian well connected country. There are little barriers to break for scientist or student to cooperate with an ordinary farmer. The for example foreign student wouldn't have to travel far and they can communicate in English. Young farmers are schooled thoroughly and farming in the Netherlands is a high skilled job, but are also encouraged to do a foreign internship. There is not the typical social 'distance' one might expect elsewhere.
Dutch agriculture might have been backward in the 40's, the Netherlands has a long history of plant breeding going back beyond the tulips and the orange carrots. It has always had a good system of both protecting breeders rights and opportunity to use other's breeds.
To add to the above, the Netherlands perhaps excels most in its excellent infrastructure and genetic modification of crops.
2 fields of technologie that the dutch are simply the best. Argoculture and water managment
You forget that through ASML we are the ones supplying the chipmaking technology and apparatus that ALL of the chip developers (e.g. Silicon Valley) and chip factories rely upon, even China.
So there are more key sectors the Netherlands has a key role in.
Even plastics. My father's uncle is a plastic tycoon due to patents on his name, and having key companies in the plastic industry around the world.
One patent is creating injection molded clear plastics without the white stretch marks happening. Clear plastics are everywhere in the world. Packaging, plastic cups, and so much more.

no farmers no food! Now about technology: When a farmer knows when to harvest potatoes..not by AI, but by just knowing when you see them by moving them up , so....tech is fine, but wisdom is more. Intuitive knowledge is still the most important thing. Not all that glitters is gold.
awnsering the question on 'How can a small country be doing so well overall?' (@8:50). i heard soeone say once; "A country next to the sea is never a small country".
Hi Paul, glad you liked it! Don't just copy paste the greenhouses everywhere... Mind the weather, they can't handle hailstorms very well...
The essence of the Netherlands being 2nd largest after USA: Compare the size duhhh!

Tractorspotter “One year on a tulip farm” something else to be proud of 🌷🌷 as this one.
I always compare countries to a classroom of kids. The smallest kid in the class always has to jump a lot higher to be seen than the tallest kid who just by size has immediate power. It's the same with countries. Why are the US the most powerful, just because of it's size. It will be invited to every important meeting on a global scale. Why would the Dutch be invited? Just a tiny country. If we want to be seen we have to jump very high in many different ways. And we do so without complimenting ourselves about everything we do. Americans are always saying how great the US are but is this really the case? I think this attitude brings laziness with a lot of damaging consequences as a result. The Dutch will keep on improving but they will never express what they accomplished themselves.
I liked the way the guy said; University of Wageningen.. had to go back and listen again what he meant 🤣
Dutch education is very much geared towards trade with other countries. We learn languages and at Uni all the books were in English so good luck if that wasn't your strong suit. You'd be studying with a dictionary next to you. When you have to read hundreds of pages for the next class. It's great for international students who can then bring that knowledge back home. All they need to know is english.
When I was 15 I actually had 6 language classes. (Dutch German French English Latin and Greek)
@@erikpoppe141 Yeah I didn't start out at YVO so I never had any greek or latin, luckily as I was absolutely horrible at anything except english in the language department and I was only so good at that from watching tv.
Though we did choose to watch the BBC more as the cartoon were cooler, I advice it to anyone who has kids that may want to know more languages, very early exposure. I also chose to watch a lot of Star Trek TNG with english subtitles and read in english.
Sometimes they overdo it. Apparently even Dutch Lit is given in English with the students being asked to translate quotes of Dutch literary works into English. Imagine studying English Lit and being required to translate Shakespeare into French.
@@Ozymandias1 Well there are schools that specifically give lessons in english. And shakespeare being translated into other languages I think happened a lot. It all depends on what you want to achieve, translating dutch lit works into english is a high level of english skill.
My english is quite good but I can't translate business english because I do not know those words.

i think we've watched 2 completely different video's?
There is in my mind only one reason why this part of the world, West Europe is doing so well. Quality comes first, and produce it against lower cost is second.
Quality is subjective, because if you compare the taste of dutch tomato now against the one 30-40 years ago the difference is huge. It used to have much more flavor.
I so agree with you, .Looks like they only know Amsterdam.
What else?
One example of these agricultural innovations is shown in the episode about the Netherlands from the docuseries "Europe from above" by National Geographic. They show/tell the story of two greenhouse farming brothers who invented a way of farming lettuce using LED and other technologies to improve their yield sixfold.
Really like ur reactions to dutch videos. Might just be biased because im dutch and i think our nation is generely great. I have suggestion for a video but it might be a bit of a long one. The video is made by money and macro and is called "dutch vs usa: economic model: the complete middle class". Its about living as a middle class person in the Netherlands vs the usa.
In the last winter of World War Two a lot of Dutch people, those north of the big rivers where the Germans were still in power, suffered a severe famine because food couldn't be imported.
That Hungerwinter made the country determined never again to be that dependent on imported food. That was at the root of the Dutch agricultural revolution.
I live in the Hague, and many nights, when its cloudy, the sky is totally lit up bright yellow from all the greenhouses from Wateringen and other outlying areas. Makes me quite proud, even though its serious light pollution of course. Small price to pay.
The Dutch prove that with dedication and willingness and just a "little" landmass and "minimal" need use of water we would be able feed the world a couple of times over. But we would need other countries to do this as well as one country doing everything is just too vulnerable (look at Ukraine now with grain). But I fear corporate greed from certain countries will probably always get in the way...
It is my believe that at 9:40 you spoke true words! If you think you're the greatest, why would you look around and learn from other places?
Currently we just need 4 liters for 1 kilo of tomatoes
1,5 liters right?
@@TheExplorder dan zou de hele plant op een halve liter per kilo moeten groeien.
I need 5 liters of beer in 15 minutes alone
@@steadiersteel You're right, four liters per kilo. Imagine if California would use this technology. Their almond industry could lower water use by 90%, basically solving the draught that devastates the state.
With led light the Dutch paved the way to grow crops in space. It's a huge accomplishment. It could save humans from extinction.
Great reactions! I like to see my country from another perspective! I can reccomend watching the videos of notjustbikes about city planning and road networks in the netherlands !
I saw some sheap, tomatoes and other plants but they forget to mention the cattle. Numbers 2020: 12 million pigs, 102 million chickens, 3,8 million cows, est. 425.000 horses, 890.000 sheap and 633.000 goats. And all those animals ment to be milked and eaten and have to be fed. They also forgot to mention the herrings and other fish.
A friend of mine went to that univercity, he studied Tropical agriculture, he studied how to help tropical countries produce more food. in his class there where people from 15 countries as exchange students...
The Dutch are also water management experts, Dutch engineers were invited to help in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina.

Thank you for your positive reaction. I really appreciate that. I saw your Geo video about Holland with two other gentlemen and 1 made me a bit (just a little bit) pissed of when he sayed America is a superpower. It is not about the amounts of weapons or wars you start. It is about investing in technology and making it interesting for students to want to be a part of it. It is good for employment, development and environment. And I love the beauty of your HUGE country (In the Netherlands you drive 1,5 or 2 hours every way and you are out the Netherlands.

When I lived in the Netherlands (for over 35 years ;-) ) I lived near the beating heart of the greenhouses, the Westland (my wife is from Westland). It is a region in the West of Holland. While living there, I never paid much attention to the innovating tech we had there.
Now I live in Canada and there are actually a lot of Dutch farmers and greenhouse owners in my Region (Niagara Region). 1 of my friends works in a "Dutch" greenhouse group and gets his technologies from The Netherlands.
It's a small world and the Dutch will supply the food.

@@ronaldderooij1774 Correct!
the netherlands, the dutch. we are efficient. time is money. faster better smarter. we adapt. if somebody can't deliver something we need, we get it ourselves.
between 1498\1595 the spice trade was entirely in the hands of the portugeze. after spain invaded portugal the spanish basically banned dutch ships from their harbors. so no more trade for us. what did we do? we set out into the world to go and get the spices. we started companies to do that. but it got decided that we needed 1 big unified company. so they forced the companies to fuse and in the meantime invented the stock market, they needed money so they sold stocks of this company (the voc). so that they could get money to start this company up. ships weren't cheap. so allot of wealthy became stockholders. and so in 1602 the voc was founded and given the sole dutch privilege to sale and conduct bussiness in certain seas. no other dutch company was allowed to do that, and on top of that the state forced them to work in such a way that the spanish and portugese would suffer in any way possible.. at that point the dutch started to outdo all the other big players. they became the number 1 in trade. the voc had it's own private military it wasn't the states military. they had their colonies to defend with this military. in the end when the voc companie ended their military went to the state. at the top of their bussiness they had 107 ships in the waters purely for trade in asia. in total they existed roughly 200 years and build 4700 ships.
this company was 200 years old, the united states atm is only 245 years old. the voc is also the reason why we are known for tulips.

If the Dutch took over all of American farmlands, I think we would be able to *literally* feed the whole world. Hunger would be eliminated, and so would GMO foods! :)
The whole word x 100, as the US has states that are almost 10x larger than the Netherlands with less than 10% of the Dutch population.
It wouldn't. Hunger isn't a production problem. It's a distribution problem. Enough food is already being produced for the entire world. It's a problem of unequal access to it. And that's a much more complex problem that it might seem at first glance.
Agriculture, farmers...lately there's been some debate about that. Seems to me the government isn't that supportive anymore.
For many farmers it is hard to keep up with all the rules and regulations. There is a lot of talk now about downscaling, specifically livestock. Also about the repurposing of farmland back to nature, especially along waterfronts, as flooding is becoming more and more a thing due to heavy rainfall etc. Just saying, it's not as ideal as portrayed here.
But the essentials are right on the dot. Farming has changed a lot. Nowadays with GPS and drones and all that they can dose exactly how much fertiliser, water or pest control is needed for optimal growth. On the livestock side of things more and more is done with computers and robots (feeding, milking, cleaning stables) so less farmhands are needed and a farmer can keep regular working hours instead of 24/7 as until very recently was still a thing (although with animals you never know ofc). The energy for these innovations is provided by solar panels on the stables or windturbines on some land nearby.
It's a whole new world, it's true.
I believe the farmer of today spends a lot of time behind the computer (government forms)
The nitrogen crisis LOL
@SeventySilk I know, because I married into a farmerfamily. I see the rules and regs from the sidelines. My husband is a loonwerker (closest translation is farmhand I think) so have seen the technological innovations in farm equipment in the last 20 years up close. What is astonishing to me is how little people nowadays know about where their food comes from or how much of the produce is exported.
@SeventySilk My in-laws quit their pigfarm around 2008. And yes in part because of all the new rules they had to adhere to, also the town wanted them gone so they could build more houses🙄. It is such a waste, they even had certification for export to Japan and let me tell you that's impressive as Japan isn't easy in their demands. But with all the politic shenanigans for us it wasn't viable to take over. So my husband went to the next best thing. Hiring out to farmers to work the land. Can't escape what is in the blood😉.

its my understanding and i could be wrong but the Netherlands is the second biggest exporter of produce in the world and it was the first but it is the biggest exporter of produce in the European union as the video says.

The thing about my country is that we're trying very hard to be important to the world, and we're willing to go looong lengths to get to that point. Things like the research that Wageningen is doing will impact the entire world, that's our goal.
My parents work at the university of Wageningen. There are some really cool projects going on there!
One group is working on how to grow food on Mars!!
The Germans used to call our tomatoes "wasserbomben" which means waterballoons. Since they had so little taste and were mostly water.
Thats why there's been a huge move to smaller more tasty tomatoes types.
Waterbombs
…and they were right (then)
America First, The Netherlands Second. Also our tomatoes suck on the whole. They used to be tastier back in the 90s. I would pick a Spanish or Italian tomato over a Dutch one, any day of the week. Not to talk smack about our innovations; it's not always quality over quantity. But I feel that quantity was the aim for these types of food anyway, just because of reasons explained in the video.
one thing that has not been mentioned is that he Dutch government is now trying to get rid of the farmers because they think farmers produce too much co2. it's sad because farming is what made my country great, but hopefully that gets changed soon.
I actually study at the University of Wageningen, so this video was really fun to watch. Just made a project about the food valley.
The real reason why dutch are great at agraculture: we dont have good weather for growing weed, so we had to figure out how to grow good weed in our climate. This is actually true but people dont like it when weed does good things😂😂
Yeah that's not "actually true" but sure mate, go take another puff :)

And now all the farmers are angry in The Netherlands because of stupid rules from our government.
Funny to see, the company I work for has built the cleanrooms voor the university of wageningen.
It ain't much if it ain't much! Such a small country but such a BIG country!!
We do so well because we are creative, smart and we love to be the first 1 to find answer to a problem and most of all we dont like to give other people money for things so you have to invent them. By make good juse of the universitys it is a cheap way to get answers 😃
Nethers, I like that!
The Netherlands feeds the world with smart greenhouses, most of them center in we called the Westland, that's where i am from.
The magic comes from the see 🤣thats why
The Netherlands, "thanks for the food"
Stanford (facebook,google,twitter,...) censordhip, "thanks for nothing"
goodmorning come to groningen city the best place from the nederlands .... Grunn !!!
Look up gelderland its so green the veluwe is realy good . They allways talk about holland . But gelderland drente friesland limburg is lots nice and not alot of toerist
Yes it is lots nice.
thats why there's the saying if country 's can't fixs somthing : Call the Dutch!!!
I mean Amsterdam and Rotterdam are popular but if you really wanne see something beautiful just go and look at zeeland I mean start looking at google picture's almost no one talks about it but like the popularity dubbels in the summer because off people come here for vacation and probably 80% are German that come
Imagine what happened when some students of the Wageningen university decided to have a look at marihuana growth.
"Return to Eden" Marijn Poels interesting documentary. I am a Dutch person myself. About climate and farming life 👌
Ahh, Wageningen. There is a reason why Dutch weed has become so potent.
World class progressive Agricultural University + young agriculture students.+ Cannabis Sativa = ..? Get the picture?
Most profs probably also enjoyed a joint so every now and then and were on board.
Our agriculture is amazing and I'm proud of it but also I'm ashamed to say that it's just too much for the Netherlands. I hope that we can give this information how to do this to other countries to get ahead. Because it's a heavy burdain for our little country but we have a lot of knowledge how to do so. We are innovating in this area but 54% of our country is used for agriculture. Only 13% is for industrial or living and the rest is either water or nature itself. Most nature is either gone and used for farmland now or is in jeopardy. Because the government wanted it to grow and grow (and most farmers had to grow because they're just not getting paid enough by grocery stores while they have to pay a lot for the new technologies at their farm). So in these days we have less farmers but more lifestock. And I'm not saying that it's all bad, because a lot of (smaller) farmers are amazing but it should change and we can't carry the burdain of especially so much lifestock in the Netherlands.
I love your videos man!
I was actually really surprise we were second on food, it doesnt feel like we haev much😁(probally cuz i live on the Veluwe(its a forest type of area)
Watch Wageningen University's Lip Dub. It's the best........
about the american cheese compared to dutch cheese: can't compare the 2 at all, american cheese tastes like soft plastic. anybody that tried the 2 will know what im talking about...
dutch cheese is 1 of the best versions in the world, swiss and some italian cheeses are simular.
some people in the comments said that the years these things started were 1944 and 1953 and they are absolutely right.
we share what we invented since day 1, and we never will let things go bad on a yearly base like some countrys do (sorry had to mention this ;) )
yes we innovate, addept and organize when needed, but we will never give up. (good example is the 80 year war with spain)
with tomatos :)
I'm from the eastern side of the netherlands and I agree that there should be more content about the rest of our country. Amsterdam is simply not a good representation of how it really is over here...
But the eastern side of The Netherlands is basically just like Germany.

Education Education and innovation.
After the Second World War, food shortages and famine resulted in the common goal of never let that happen ever again.
Allemaal door die man met snor en zijn malle fratsen
Look at the youtube channel: Not just bikes, which has a lot of videos comparing american and dutch traffic design
Its not that people dont want certain things, its that the governments limit the people in certain things. Some things just dont fit in their agenda's, like independent civillians and free thought of mind.
We also have the most carbon foodprint from whole europe and we are punished by it thanks to the European Union. If we want to lower the greenhouse gases, then we are lowering the export. Some farmlands are now transforming in solar panels fields. It looks very ugly and the typical dutch landscape goes away. The thing what maked us rich actually caused us problem. Now google and other internet company's are building big data centres here so they can show there energy goes from renewable, but the people that live here get nothing from those renewable energy, but the goverments gets a lot of money, because google will pay a lot. It is sad how that works.
