General practitioner Evelien van Soldt and her husband Rieuwert de Haan from Wapserveen are protesting against the use of pesticides in lily cultivation. They are deeply concerned about the health of local residents. The protests against the pesticides are causing significant tensions in their village. Van Soldt: "Because the municipality lacks a policy, residents are at odds with each other, and the threats are increasing. Many people are therefore afraid to voice their concerns." The use of pesticides is increasing polarization in more and more towns. How are municipalities addressing this?
