The team
Who is behind it
In the early days of agriportance, we were a small team consisting of the founders Thorsten and Henning. We were employed by companies in Münster. Thorsten as a software developer and Henning as an agricultural journalist. We emerged from a weekend and after-work project during the first coronavirus lockdown. Our companions and supporters were various agricultural businesses who were passionate about the agriportance vision and some of whom also became our first customers. These included family farms from the Münsterland region, but also larger companies from all over Germany. They helped with the critical assessment of business models and with their industry network. In the early days, we looked at a variety of possible business models. These included the topics of humus formation, emission reduction in animal husbandry and the use of biochar. "Biogas and biomethane" was one of many topics on a long list, but we quickly realised that, on the one hand, it would make it possible to ensure greater climate protection in agriculture and, on the other, it was the most likely to correspond to a scalable and possible business model. Collaboration with potential customers was therefore the key to developing and testing the right idea for agriportance.
