This year, we are putting the findings into practice by collectively growing 3 hectares of flax. We are creating a learning community where knowledge sharing leads to fair risk distribution, solution-oriented thinking and shared responsibility. Willem Groenenberg of the organic farm de Hooge Polder, located in the Biesbosch, has sown the organic fiber flax variety Iris from Van de Bilt Vlas en Zaden.
