The FarmingTree is developed by the Professorship Environment inclusive farm entrepreneurship at Aeres University of Applied Sciences (https://www.aeresuas.com/research/professorships/environment-inclusive-entrepreneurship)
Ron Methorst works in this Professorship on strengthening the diversity in farms and farming in a dynamic countryside. Together with colleague Dirk de Groot and later as well Bianca Koorn the FarmingTree was developed.
