Tiny ag exporter

The Netherlands is the size of the American state, New Jersey. But the country exports more food than any other country in the world, except the United States. 

How do they do that? The people were motivated after World War II to make food security a very high priority. When Nazis invaded and seized their country, farms were disrupted and about 20,000 people died of starvation. It made an impact.

The Dutch applied their human potential for solving problems to the issue of food security. Growing high quality tomatoes and peppers, for example, is highly mechanized. Water use is a fraction of water use on a more normal farm though crops are grown hydroponically.

"Inside large greenhouses, farmers grow millions of tons of tomatoes and peppers with the help of bees, robots, and custom LED lights."
