Farmers in the Netherlands are facing significant challenges despite a record vegetable harvest due to an exceptionally dry spring, with nearly 40% of some crops, like cabbage, deemed too large for supermarket standards. The No Waste Army is working to rescue nearly one million kilograms of surplus vegetables from six farmers, while prices for potatoes have plummeted by 90%, forcing farmers to deal with excess stock and low demand. Unsold crops may be composted, highlighting the difficulties in balancing supply and market needs.
