INTRODUCTION

AGRICULTURAL KNOWLEDGE

The knowledge of yesterday is holding you back today.

Agribusiness is knowledge intensive.

Without knowledge there is no return, let alone profits. You should invest in your business, but also in yourself.

Whether you run a farm or a feed business. The knowledge of yesterday is holding you back today. It is vital to keep your knowledge sharp! Knowledge transfer involves understanding the usefulness and necessity of information. From farm to desk, from teacher to student, from consultant to entrepreneur and vice versa – not broadcast, but through interaction.

Our Signals Series has proved that; because animals cannot talk, we learn to understand their signals. And we know how to package and structure knowledge so that it lasts.

• SPECIALIST Our people are real specialists in the market, demonstrating technical expertise in terms of content, editorial and education. We connect teachers with consultants and entrepreneurs with performers.

Knowledge is the theme and content is the delivery method; packaged and distributed to meet the needs of end users.

• NETWORK Our network stretches from Europe to Asia to South America. We connect education, research institutions and industry through a powerful infrastructure of content and resources. Both online and offline.

• DO We do not just talk the talk, but want to get to work. Like the industry we work for, we roll up our sleeves and go. Starting with a pilot project to gain experience, we progress step-by-step to the dot on the horizon. Learning by doing.

• EXPERIENCE Twenty years in business cannot be overlooked. Our cooperation with international research institutes, educational organizations and industry has given us the inside track on what works – and what does not. Our knowledge culture and mindset is here for you to use!
