Ben Smink
Regenerative Dairy Farming, Automation & Information Technology
My main objective: Integration of disciplines by connecting people generating successful believes. I like to build bridges and bring people from different disciplines and cultures together into successful working groups and project teams.
I aspire to dedicate my energy to the advancement of regenerative dairy farming — an approach built on circular systems that enrich soil, strengthen ecosystems, and leave the land healthier rather than depleted. With more than forty years of experience in dairy farming and dairy information technologies, I am motivated to support and mentor young, emerging initiatives in this sector.
My career spans dairy science, farm management support, service management, automation, and dairy information systems, enabling me to connect practical realities with modern, data-driven agriculture that is both ecologically and economically sustainable.
