문화적 배경

The Dutch are world leaders in 'grootschalige' agriculture and water management. This phrase is often used with pride in engineering contexts but with concern in environmental ones. In Belgium, the phrase is equally common in formal Dutch (Vlaams), especially in political discussions regarding the complex state structure. In the Dutch 'Poldermodel', decisions are often made after 'op grote schaal' consultation with various stakeholders. In the era of Big Data, Dutch tech companies use this phrase to describe data processing capabilities.
