NL Summit, Samen Groeien: Retail & Teelt in Transitie
In deze sessie brengen we retail, telers en toeleveranciers samen voor een open gesprek over de uitdagingen én kansen rondom onder andere verduurzaming. Met inspirerende praktijkvoorbeelden en een paneldiscussie met Lidl, Intratuin en Royal Brinkman, zoeken we naar manieren om samen commerciële én duurzame vooruitgang te boeken. Interactie met het publiek speelt een centrale rol. Wat kunnen we morgen anders doen om écht samen te groeien?
