My passion for the agricultural sector has been instilled in me, as I grew up on a mixed farm with dairy cattle and arable farming, received an agricultural education and married an arable farmer. To keep the affinity with the farm and industry, I can be found regularly on both farms, because in addition to my work at Connecting Agri & Food, I also run the farm with my parents and brother. After my education, I worked as a cattle advisor for over 8 years, mainly visiting dairy farms to support them with all the laws and regulations of the manure and CAP policies. During these years I also had the opportunity to supervise two Koeien&Kansen farms, a project where people are always working on innovations and research. Innovations and research are two areas where we also have a lot to do within Connecting Agri&Food. In recent years I have worked extensively on projects around pricing systems and revenue models for various livestock sectors. And in addition, I get to use my knowledge and experience about the sector in projects that fall under our spearhead policy. Driven and enthusiastic, I work on a variety of projects. By keeping both feet on the ground and using common farm sense, I ensure that the result to be delivered is accurate and practical for the client.
