THIJS GOORTS CONSULTANCY

About

My name is Thijs Goorts and I was born into a horticultural family in Veghel. Surrounded by greenhouses, the cultivation of cucumbers and tomatoes was instilled in me at an early age. It was no surprise that I chose to study Horticulture at the HAS University of Applied Sciences in Den Bosch. I graduated in 2006 with a specialization in Greenhouse Horticulture and Plant Physiology.

I started my career as a cultivation manager at various large-scale greenhouse horticulture companies with different cr ops, such as tomatoes and capsicums. In 2014, I made the switch to Indoor Farming, a new concept at the time. In the first years, I developed cultivation recipes and cultivation rooms. After this, I focused on setting up and consulting cultivation sites worldwide. In recent years, I have mainly used my connecting qualities as a Business Developer within the Indoor Farming sector.

In the last 8 years, I have developed my skills in all facets of crop cultivation of local, fresh and sustainable food, both in The Netherlands and abroad.

Today, I advise growers, food producers and investors worldwide to achieve optimal results. Please, don’t hesitate to contact me if you’re looking for a skilled and solution-focused consultant, who is social, positive, practical minded and understands both business and cultivation.

Why

The demand for fresh, local and sustainable food is rapidly increasing. Population growth, climate change, water scarcity and the availability of skilled and unskilled labour increase the challenge of producing good and safe food. My strength lies in unraveling complex issues, developing new plans and ideas with the aim of improving existing situations. I am looking forward to utilize my knowledge and experience to support your business.

Plant approach

I believe in approaching issues from a multidisciplinary perspective. For example, I always look at a plant from a physiological, chemical, biological, mathematical and economic point of view.
