I have had the pleasure of working with Irving Davelaar in 2019 – 2020. Many workgroups had to be formed to get stakeholders, industry, government and developers to work together to solve critical (Agri)business problems and develop the new eCert project. Irving chaired and facilitated the main work groups and his contributions were invaluable. Apart from Irving’s vast knowledge of the agricultural industry, his IT & Digitalization knowledge assisted with bringing clarity and agreement among various IT vendors servicing the industry.
