Green Works Consultancy has been active in the international agriculture and horticulture sectors for almost 20 years.
After gaining experience in scientific research on soil fertility and plant nutrition and learning the ropes of horticulture greenhouse production, it was time to start consulting. In 2005 the first consultancy assignments were started and in 2015 the independant consultancy company Green Works Consultancy was established in Utrecht, The Netherlands. In 2020 Green Works moved to Loosdrecht and also has an office space in Aalsmeer.
After an initial starting phase with activities in several eastern European countries, the focus for projects and activies has shifted to the African continent per 2009.
