The Netherlands & Ghana

In addition to being the Director of European-Netherlands Office of IFDC, I am leading a research and implementation program FERARI in Ghana (https://ifdc.org/projects/fertilizer-research-and-responsible-implementation-ferari/).

Amsterdam Area, Netherlands

In addition to continuing my position as Executive Director of VFRC, I am now operating from the Netherlands as the Director of European-Netherlands Office of IFDC to build stronger collaboration in research and education with European Universities and Research Centers and to generate support from European development agencies.

Washington, DC

The VFRC will foster the creation of the next generation of fertilizers and production technologies to help feed the world’s growing population. After having worked for more than 20 years on research, education and policy recommendation on world food security, the VFRC gives me the opportunity to make a more tangible contribution to improving food.

Wageningen, The Netherlands

As Director I have full responsibility over all aspects of managing and leading an international research institute. My strategy was to assume a leading role in the world on world soil information. High quality soil information is essential to understand food production, climate change, biodiversity maintenance,water availability, bio-energy production..

Wageningen

As head of a research team on natural resources use in production systems, I emphasized the personal development of my staff members for them to be able to smoothly make the transition from a purely science driven and publicly funded organisation to a contract research institution by developing their interpersonal skills. I have actively contributed to.

Wageningen

I initiated the Wageningen Platform for Food Security; an interdisciplinary research group that integrated various components like food production, nutrition, trade, income and livelihood strategies, for a comprehensive understanding of Food Security.Together with two colleagues in nutrition and economics, we have initiation a special interdisciplinary.

Wageningen, The Netherlands

As co-program leader I was responsible for the development of a scientifically sound program on development cooperation, covering the fields of Integrated Water Resources Management, Biodiversity Use and Maintenance, Vital Rural Economic Development, International Trade, and Knowledge Generation (>4 M€).

El Batan, Mexico

Conducting experimental field research leading up to my thesis: Bridging the gap between plant physiology and breeding. I used systems analytical approaches and simulation models to integrate various physiological processes to arrive at realistic assessment of wheat yield potential and to identify promising plant characteristics to enhance wheat yield.

Wageningen, The Netherlands

I calculated the amount of food that can be produced on earth using advanced crop-soil-climate modelling techniques for the Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR).With the appropriate ecological literacy we can feed all 10 billion people, when ecological processes and judicious use of inputs guide developments in agriculture rather than.

Manilla, Philippines

Within a large capacity development project on Simulation and Systems Analysis in Rice Production (SARP) I have 1) trained and supervised scientist from National Research Centres in Asian countries in systems approaches, 2) assisted trained scientists in their ongoing rice experiments and research activities, 3) co-ordinated workshops, symposia and.
