About Me

34 years old polyglot agronomist...

I teach and coordinate a diploma in organic farming, at bachelor level.

I believe much more in what people do then in what people say.

I really like to visualise things (me, projects or ideas).

In a research (personal or scientific), the important and difficult step is to elaborate the right questions. The answers will appear from themselves as long as the questions are good.
