|
NMC |
As a degradation for the region, a win-win situation nationally |
Spatial |
Regional/ National |
For the region it [NMC] is still a degradation. You can read that in the
[consultancy name] environmental advice. On the national scale there is a
win-win situation. |
|
NMC |
As a development that is too large for the landscape in a country as small
as the Netherlands |
Spatial |
National |
We’re a very small country in which open space is claimed for very
many things, [...] and since we’re such a small country there simply is
no space for developments like this [NMC]. |
|
ADA |
As one of the accumulating developments that will transform the village
into a neighborhood in an industrial park |
Spatial |
Village |
...but as a result of all those developments [the village] is basically
placed in an industrial park, a neighborhood in an industrial
park. |
|
ADA |
As one of many in itself possibly good developments |
Spatial |
Municipal/ Village |
And there again the thought: we have to concentrate the greenhouses,
since that means that you have to affect the landscape at fewer places. Only
that doesn’t seem to count for [this village]. |
|
NMC |
As desired by all administrative levels |
Administrative |
Municipal/ Provincial/ National |
Looking at the decision making, we’re not only talking about the
municipality, but [...] on central, provincial, and municipal level the
administrators are all Christian Democrats who already in 2003 have declared
they’ll do anything to develop the NMC. The minister was even willing to
adapt the law. |
|
NMC |
As causing trouble |
Agricultural |
Farm |
Particularly the chicken farm will emit a gigantic lot of particulate
matter. |
|
NMC |
As disastrous for small family farms |
Agricultural |
Farm |
Talking about the NMC, that’s disastrous for small family
farms. |
|
NMC |
As questionable if pork production is desirable |
|
Regional/
Global food system |
It’s questionable whether so much pork is desirable, since in
principle there’s an overproduction in the world and for sure the
Netherlands, since 80 to 90% of the pork is exported [...] we state that more
attention should be paid to regional production. [Western Europe]. |
|
NMC |
As too small to compete with farms in other countries |
Agricultural |
Global food system |
In the end The Netherlands cannot win with this company on the world
market. |
|
NMC |
As having questionable sustainability from a nutrition point of
view |
Agricultural |
Global food system |
If you watch what happens in South America, where gigantic soy
plantations are put down and a large part of it is transported to feed the pigs
here [...] all that pork is very unproductive. You should rather produce much
more soy and vegetables and those kinds of things, then you need a smaller
agricultural area for more nutrition. |
|
NMC |
As should be developing knowledge for the Third World and a concept that
will be exported to China |
Agricultural |
Global food system |
Use the company [...] to develop knowledge meaningful for the Third
World, but in the Third World these gigantic companies would never be placed.
What happens, these companies, the concept is exported to China and in China
they will make the money. |
|
NMC |
As competing with small farmers in Ghana |
Agricultural |
Global food system |
In Ghana, chicken farmers don’t have a chance anymore. Why? What
we consider as waste over here, the chicken wings and the like, is dumped in
Africa for very low prices. |
