Thomas Kern
Thomas Kern is Manager Business Development & Strategy at Royal Brinkman, an international horticulture supplier. He holds board positions in Dutch industry associations active in crop protection, biological control, and distribution.
Thomas has spent more than two decades working with professional growers; long enough to know that the gap between how horticulture is discussed in public and what it actually takes to grow a reliable crop is wider than most people realize. His work sits at the intersection of business strategy, integrated crop management, and sector policy, with a particular focus on high-tech greenhouse production.
In his writing, Thomas takes that gap seriously. He writes about biological control, digital decision support, and the logic behind pesticide regulation in Europe – not from the outside looking in, but from within a sector that is asked to change faster than the systems around it are designed to allow. His recurring question is simple: how do we build a future for horticulture that is ambitious in public debate and workable in the greenhouse?
