Of course that could be the case, but less than a year ago, he almost caused the collapse of the Dutch government on the sustainability of agriculture in the country.
At least I can’t see an honest motivation other than his own opportunities.
It was in August of last year apparently (does time fly). He suddenly wanted to discuss the agreed upon nitrogen-plans at the start of the formation of the government. This, to try to regain trust from traditional supporters of the party, farmers. They have been in recent times moving to a dedicated farmers party.
De harde maar omstreden deadline van 2030 is daarbij voor de CDA-voorman niet langer ´heilig´.
De boerenachterban, die traditioneel op het CDA stemde, loopt weg juist door het stikstofbeleid van dit kabinet^1.
Or he’s looking for jobs that suit his changing opinions.
Hopefully he does a good job, should he get the position.

Can you provide some context or a link on the sustainable agriculture issue?

I really don’t think he is changing any opinion and I don’t think he’s a good fit. Actually I have no idea why they picked this guy at all.
Because he’s buddies with Rutte and his own party will be decimated in the upcoming election, so he needs a new job.
