The Nooyen Group, a family-owned company established in 1978 in Deurne, the Netherlands, has a longstanding commitment to innovation and sustainability across various sectors. Building upon their previous initiatives, the family expanded their environmental efforts in 2023 with a new Miscanthus cultivation project.
Miscanthus Project:
In 2023, the Nooyen family launched a project focusing on the cultivation of Miscanthus giganteus, commonly known as elephant grass. This perennial crop is recognized for its rapid growth and minimal agricultural input requirements, making it an effective tool for carbon sequestration and soil improvement. The project encompasses an area of 4.09 hectares in Deurne, the Netherlands. The primary objective is to enhance carbon storage in both biomass and soil, thereby contributing to climate change mitigation.
Through this initiative, the Nooyen Group continues to demonstrate its dedication to environmental sustainability and the advancement of innovative agricultural practices.
