Maurits Keppel, a Dutch ornamental plant gardener in Maarssen, near Utrecht, faces the demolition of his nine-year-old business to make way for fifteen villas. He recently invested significantly in converting to organic production three years ago and was forced to invest in new greenhouses due to snow damage. Upon seeking approval from landowners, Keppel discovered plans to build on his leased land within a few years, forcing him to relocate. He expresses distress, questioning where he can continue his gardening business and highlighting the irony of being displaced for villas just as he transitioned to organic farming, a move he notes is increasingly desired due to concerns about pesticides. Keppel has engaged a lawyer, and a judge will now weigh the competing interests.
