MY MOTIVATION

 

In Europe, both high-yielding and sustainable agriculture is practised at excellent locations. This is a very big advantage globally. At the same time, science and research open up new opportunities to further optimize yield and sustainability. I am excited about translating new scientific knowledge into useful products and practical solutions. Added to this is the growing importance of value chains in our networked world. From industry to agriculture to consumers, interactions will intensify. I would like to contribute to combining wishes, demands and profitability.
