Abstract: The Dutch veal sector is a large, but challenged one. It has grown since the late 20th century and is now moving into a new era with new expectations beyond simply the economic one. Veal farmers need to deal with increasing legislative changes as well societal and environmental demands. Van Beijnum VOF is a veal farm close to a Natura 2000 region and is fully immersed in this change as a result. Future perspectives therefore include incurring large and expensive investments, ending the operations, either by enrolling in buy-out schemes or by selling. Wageningen University is, partly also encouraged by the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture to research and look into possibilities for (the) veal (sector), resulting in a range of projects that are currently ongoing or starting.
