Delivering scientific clarity to policy makers
“I am deeply honoured to assume the role of Managing Director at FiBL Europe”, says Bram Moeskops, “because FiBL makes important contributions to the necessary transformation of food systems with its research”. Jürn Sanders, President of FiBL Europe, adds that “in view of the major challenges we will have to face in the food sector in the coming years, we want to become even more involved in the policy dialogue in this area and with Bram Moeskops as director we are in the best possible position to do so.”
