better life for the future, in which sustainable technologies
and sustainable agriculture will play an important role.
Mr. Verwaaijen indicated that companies in the seed industry
like INCOTEC fit very well into the story of sustainable
agriculture and as regards sustainability should be marketed by
telling, showing and doing. “Make yourself known and you will be
loved!”
