ECN is delighted to introduce its latest addition to the team in the role of Project Officer in Agriculture. Olivier is a Climate and Agricultural Specialist with a MSc in Natural Resources Management & Development, focusing on sustainable and ecological agriculture.
He looks forward to connecting with members and partners to support efforts that close the loop in the organic and food cycle.
He first walked on agricultural land in northern Alberta while scouting grain and oilseed fields in 2012 as an agronomy assistant, and later while working on and visiting an array of farms in Canada and Germany. Along the way, his academic path took him from botany at the University of Manitoba, to agro-ecology at McGill, and then to sustainable resource management through an international Master’s at TH Köln. With an interest in complex systems, Olivier has also worked in the field of sustainable sourcing of natural textile fibres.
At ECN, he’s eager to explore how compost and digestate can support resilient soils and productive farming, while learning from and working alongside the ECN team, members, facility managers and regional farmers to shape meaningful, collaborative projects.
