In recent years, we at Bayer have successfully collaborated with Tessa several times. She has inspired us as a keynote speaker on sustainable agriculture and innovation, moderated at (international) debates, and led projects such as circular bio-fertilizers (Rustica).

Tessa has a realistic view of making agriculture more sustainable, with a lot of attention for cooperation between research, policy, industry and farmers. She emphasizes the importance of innovation linked to experience, a viable economic model, and tailoring measures to local conditions.

Tessa knows how to get different parties to work together constructively and inspire.
