The projects that I do are either initiated by myself or on request by customers.
Below you will find a mix of projects and initiatives I am currently working on.

A growing number of stakeholders, including farmers, aim to manage environmental impact and nature value creation at farms. Many methodologies and indicator systems are available but often need further development to make them fully operational and easy to implement at farms. This slows down the development of better practices.
With several stakeholders I am developing an initiative to improve indicator quality and to make meaningful environmental indicators easier available for implementation in agricultural-production chains.

I support the institute of data integrity, a nonprofit initiated by the Leather and Hide Council of America, meant to bring scientific clarity, credibility and transparency to how leather’s environmental performance is measured and communicated.
Dutch plant production is moving into a situation where the use of chemical crop protection agents is becoming increasingly difficult.
Despite years of efforts reducing the environmental impact of crop protection, managed in covenants between the Dutch government and agricultural sectors, progress is too slow. EU regulations and reducing societal appreciation/understanding of pesticides use are creating an unworkable situation for farmers.
I believe that the agricultural sector can turn tables if it takes the initiative in setting up an environmental management system for responsible crop protection. I presented this idea June 2026 at the Foodlog meeting.
