GivesBack22: The Results

Canal it up organises kayak trips to remove waste from the canal. At the same time, they explain the problems they want to solve, such as floating waste, poor water quality, lack of nature and biodiversity, and the solutions they propose, such as deposits, waste barriers, green islands and stopping sewer overflows.

The scarcity of agricultural land and its high price are a major barrier for starting and established organic farmers. De Landgenoten wants to facilitate access to land for organic farmers by purchasing agricultural land and renting it out via long-term contracts.

In this way, De Landgenoten ensures the creation and continuity of organic farms that practice healthy agriculture and produce healthy food in a viable way, while taking care of the soil and biodiversity.
