ABOUT DR.IR GERT-JAN MONTENY

My roots are within the dairy sector. I was born and raised on a mixed dairy farm in the west of the Netherlands, got educated at the Wageningen University in the field of Agricultural Engineering.

My involvement in the dairy sector is mostly in the field of environment (manure, ammonia, greenhouse gases, odour), and manure handling and processing. My sloagan is: …’I know it, or I know where to find it…’. My philosophy is that animal excreta are not a waste, but an asset, offering a variety of opportunities, ranging from fertilizer, soil enhancer, and energy source.

In various missions, mostly conducted in South-East Asia, as environmental consultant I have discovered that many examples of those opportunities are already put into practice. My aim is to use these examples and my knowledge as source of inspiration for animal husbandry world-wide.
