Bijna 89 miljoen euro, wat een waanzinnig bedrag!

Ontzettend bedankt voor alle donaties. Dat geeft een beetje hoop aan alle getroffenen.

#Giro555 blijft open, want voor een natuurramp van zo'n omvang is meer steun altijd welkom!

Indigenous agriculture is regenerative agriculture. We’ve been doing it for thousands of years. Settlers came to a land of abundance, indigenous food sovereignty & beyond. Jacob Beaton, Tea Creek Enterprise points to indigenous knowledge @pacagshow Abbotsford @NLinVancouver

[Sebastiaan Messerschmidt NL 🇳🇱 CG Vancouver 🇨🇦 @smesserschmidt]

At the @pacagshow in Abbotsford 🇨🇦 BC a lot of agri businesses carry Dutch names. Go figure. 🇳🇱🇨🇦 ties in AgTech are logical and beneficial. Take these ones for example @NLinVancouver @NLinCanada @minlnv @WUR
