For Matthias Mehner, farmers are equally important as entrepreneurs and people. With this in mind, he is developing the entrepreneurship and agriculture sector at the Andreas Hermes Akademie (AHA) and implementing projects throughout Europe. He does this both as a managing director and as a trainer in the TOP course.

Before Matthias joined the AHA in 2008, he managed a farming business for many years and worked as a freelance trainer. Almost as an aside, he studied geoinformatics – he was already a graduate agricultural engineer at the time – and ultimately contributed this expertise to the founding of a company for dGPS surveying. And because all this was not enough for him, he also completed training to become a quality assessor.
