Gert-Jan Monteny
Gert-Jan Monteny has his roots in the dairy sector. Born and raised on a mixed dairy farm, and educated in the field of agricultural engineering at Wageningen University, he knows what the business is like. Nowadays, his focus is mainly on fields that relate to dairy farm environment (manure, ammonia, greenhouse gases, etc.) and manure handling and processing. In his opinion, an animal does not excrete waste, but an asset that offers a variety of opportunities. As an environmental consultant with projects mostly in South-East Asia, he has already put many of those opportunities into practice. He uses these successes and his knowledge as a source of inspiration for assisting animal husbandry world-wide.
