Podcast De Dag: where do those millions of mice come from?
Farmers in Friesland and Alblasserwaard are facing a mouse plague that is damaging their grasslands. This issue, which had not been prevalent since the 1950s, raises questions about the sudden resurgence of mice and their impact on agriculture. In a podcast, Mattijs van de Wiel visits farmer Mathijs Baan to discuss the situation and speaks with researcher Gerbert Roerink from Wageningen University about the known and unknown aspects of these mouse infestations. The podcast explores the reasons behind the mouse population explosion and potential solutions for farmers.
