I work at DCA’s Central Unit that coordinates the advice requested by ministries and others in the field of agriculture and food. The Central Unit has primary contact with the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries (FVM) and the Ministry of Environment (MIM) regarding research-based public sector consultancy and the agreements related to it, including Plant Production, Animal Production, and Food Quality and Consumer Behavior. Additionally, the work with other consultancy within DCA’s area is coordinated and supported, and contributions are made to the quality assurance of research-based consultancy according to TECH’s ISO9001 certified quality management system. 

I am co-responsible for the quality assurance and reporting of science advice deliverables. Furthermore, I am responsible for coordinating of the general area of plant protection that consists of four separate agreements between Ministry of Environment and AU.
