  • Dina, Innovation Analyst: "It gives me energy to work on innovation every day."

    You are given responsibility to work independently. If you are proactive yourself, you can achieve many things, you can continue to grow and that is something that certainly appeals to me at Agrifirm.

  • Sep, Biotechnologist: ‘We use biotechnology to make the inedible portions of certain raw materials edible.’

    'I am a biotechnologist. This means I conduct research, for example into the development of new products that contribute to a responsible food chain. This can be virtually anything such as animal feeds, fertiliser enhancers and the like. To do this, we use micro organisms in smart ways.'
