Wageningen University is the number one agricultural university in the world
After graduating I worked at Wageningen University on several international research projects with topics such as resource management in rice based cropping systems in Asia, economic effects of EU dairy policy scenarios and water and nitrogen efficiency of wheat and barley in Mediterranean countries.
Blonk (now part of Merieux Nutrisciences) is the consultancy for agri-food LCA
At Blonk I supported and advised governmental and non-governmental institutes, international and Dutch sector organisations, such as the gelatine, horticulture and animal feed sectors, and various companies in the agri-food sector, such as Heineken, Nutreco, VION Ingredients (now Darling Ingredients) and Suikerunie, with environmental footprinting.
PRé Sustainability is most famous for SimaPro & excellent LCA expertise
At PRé Consultants I contributed to significant projects such as the implementation of the internationally renowned database Ecoinvent in the world’s leading LCA-software SimaPro, the EU financed LCA-IMPACT project for the development of life cycle impact assessment methods, and the Environmental Footprint Pilots project for the European Commission as technical help-desk supporting several pilots developing product environmental footprinting rules of their product categories.
Wageningen Research has a great network of public & private partners
At Wageningen Research I worked within the The Sustainability Consortium framework with retailers and caterers, such as Aldi, Superunie, Sligro, Albron, Bidfood and Sodexo, and their suppliers. I also contributed to projects for the estimation of the true price of products (external costs of product life cycle impacts), LCA projects on products such as beef, pork, dairy, coffee, tomatoes and table grapes, and the development of product environmental footprint rules for horticultural products.
