GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Dutch term or phrase:
grondgebondenheid
English translation:
the extent to which an activity is land-bound, land-based, or land-dependent
Explanation: From a bit of googling, 'grondgebonden' appears to mean something like 'constrained by local conditions and resources' or 'using only locally available resources' (although not to the extent of being self-reliant), and in a certain sense it is the opposite of 'intensive' (agriculture, livestock farming, etc.).
There are also google hits in a non-farming context that suggest that 'grondgebonden' can mean something like 'locally-based'.
A variety of translations seem to be available. Some sample google hits (of which IMO 'soil-bound' is inappropriate in the context in which it appears):

Hi, you seem to be new here. The magic word is 'context' (the more the better). No context, no cigar.

bound/linked to the soil
Explanation: Vanuit mijn ervaring als VS correspondent van het Agrarisch Dagblad: Vermoed dat het gaat om bedrijven/gewassen die afhankelijk zijn van de grond (vergelijk geestgronden achter de duinen die goed zijn voor bloembollen -- althans dat heb ik op de lagere school geleerd).
