Rigorous analysis, clear communication.<\/h3>

With a degree in agricultural sciences and decades of hands-on policy experience, I can deliver both: in-depth analysis and expert assessments, as well as clear and audience-specific communication of complex issues.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Policy meets practice.<\/h3>

Having spent many years working in the European Parliament, at universities, public authorities and NGOs, I also bring first-hand farming experience. I have not only analysed and helped shape agricultural and food policy, but experienced its real-world impact in day-to-day farm practice. My clients benefit directly, whether they need case studies, position papers or factsheets.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Established network, personal commitment.<\/h3>

As a freelance consultant, I work with clients across Germany and the EU \u2013 from research institutes and think tanks to NGOs, public authorities and foundations. Over the years I have built a solid network in European agricultural and environmental policy, which benefits you directly, whether for expert interviews, assessing policy positions or mapping key actors. Every project is handled by me personally \u2013 from first conversation to final delivery, tailored to your needs.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
