This is what sustainability looks like
This is what sustainability looks like
We believe in the use of compost. Compost improves the organic matter content. It also leads to less phosphate and nitrogen. This results in a healthy balance for important trace elements. As we handle our soil in a sustainable manner, our plants and trees are less susceptible to disease. In the rare event that a tree or plant is affected by disease, we only use organic insecticide to treat this. Healthy soil should always have access to sufficient water. We have installed controlled drainage in our fields. This allows us to retain the water for a longer period of time. This also allows us to control the drainage properly. A good water supply benefits our crops and nature.
Sustainability is not just about our products
Sustainability is not just about our products
At Smits working in a sustainable manner is not just about our products. It is also about our employees and the way in which they work. Manual work is increasingly being taken over by harvesting, pruning and planting machines. We are at the forefront of innovative solutions. This makes the work lighter and more enjoyable for our professionals. During a visit to our nursery, we would like to tell you more about our sustainable growing and working methods.
