Twente & Salland farmland

RuralOverijssel · NL

Hedgerow country that lost its hedgerows. Jalo's carbon-negative pellet plant in Almelo runs on landscape residues — the plant needs a living landscape, the landscape needs a reason to be planted.

Twente and Salland were hedgerow country. Most of the hedgerows went, and with them the shelter, the shade and the insects that a farm quietly depends on.

Jalo's carbon-negative pellet plant in Almelo runs on what a living landscape produces, which ties the plant's own supply to the state of the land around it. Farmers borrow at no interest, and the repayments finance the next planting in the same landscape.
