After more than 25 days at Delphy , you know ' how the hares run ' in the sector . In 25 eld , Delphy CEO Jacco van der Wekken has seen a shifting from just advisory work to developing and applying knowledge more together with the agriculturist . " build up noesis and applying knowledge have become much more intertwined . This can be at the company floor , where you will grow a newfangled app for a cultivator . But it can also be a radical of grower who want to do something specific with a crop . "
It is therefore important for researchers and advisers to pass along intensively with each other . " economy of scale have been an important drive force for that development , but also the disappearance of collectives , i.e. the product boards that did collective enquiry for the sector . That is a shame on the one hand , but on the other hand , it has allow agriculturist to be much more Byzantine in research and growth . They not only consume but also induct and aid think about the excogitation . "

Research is collaborationSo Delphy focuses on practical research , but Jacco certainly also sees the importance of fundamental research for the sector . " If something young is thought up at the university in Wageningen or Delft , we look at how to translate that into practice . So we have to actively seek each other out to create tot up value . "
As Jacco noted , cooperation with growers is also hugely close . " Growers are take from the root of the research process , so they can forthwith apply the knowledge gained in their operations . By doing so , you create an advantage for the society in question , but ultimately you also help the entire sphere with it . After all , Dutch horticulture became bounteous through cognition commutation , and that mentality is still there . "
roll out noesis internationallyRecently , Delphy was taken over by Peterson Solutions . Jacco calls that companionship a company that equip like a glove . " They understand how the USDA and gardening sphere make . They verbalize the same voice communication as we do . The cultural scene is completely there . "
Delphy has been looking much more across the border recently anyway , Jacco say . " In all form of countries , people are asking themselves the question : how do I produce enough food of the correct quality ?
The takeover by Peterson Solutions makes it possible for us to enlist with those parties . In doing so , we work alongside Control Union , the line building block that does certification and auditing . "
A key indirect request in this regard is that the cognition Delphy has and is developing is swan out internationally . " We need to verify that the noesis ecosystem we have in north - western Europe will also work in other countries . Peterson ’s great military strength is that they have branches in 80 land with a focal point on agriculture and gardening . That gives us a immense cost increase : we are now a calendar month on the road , and we are already talking about Delphy branches in Malaysia , North America , and Saudi Arabia . "
A 2d spearpoint is digitalization . " Think for exemplar of the crop modeling , the QMS model we use in autonomous ontogeny - we can also use these more widely internationally . Together with Peterson , we can realise those ambitions . "
