We are an association of 11,500 farmers and gardeners in Zeeland, Noord-Brabant and Zuid-Gelderland. We stand for the continuity of agriculture and horticulture and the future of our members. From the tradition and roots that go back more than 175 years. We do this in a contemporary way through a combination of activities. We operate in networks, collaborate with other economic sectors, give a boost to innovative projects, invest in companies (participations) and stand shoulder to shoulder with our members and always organize the best purchase, when it comes to a business plan, construction and permits, energy, water, soil and expertise. Starting point: Farmers have a solution As farmers and gardeners we are at the heart of society and play a key role, not only as a food producer, but also as a supplier of green energy, biobased materials, care, nature management, quality of life, biodiversity, recreation and experience. From this versatility, our conviction and starting point is that 'Farmers have a solution!' We are proud of that and we believe in it. Innovative Farming Together It is our tradition and our ambition to develop and implement solutions together with partners. We stand for innovative farming together: smart farming by seeking connections with other sectors, such as high tech, logistics, chemistry, energy, water, and design, and farming together in relation to the environment and society (green energy, education, connection with the city, recreation). We are an association with agricultural entrepreneurs as directors, organized from local involvement and always have an eye for members who temporarily need extra attention. Together with LTO Noord and LLTB, ZLTO forms the federation LTO Nederland.
