Wouter van der Weijden

After graduating in Biology at the Free University in Amsterdam, Wouter van der Weijden (1946) worked at Leiden University developing visions on sustainable agriculture.

In 1980 he co-founded the Centre for Agriculture and Environment (CLM) aimed at promoting sustainable farming in the Netherlands. He is still co-director of CLM.

Wouter was involved in numerous projects covering farmland birds, on-farm nutrient and energy management, farm policy and ecolabeling. He wrote hundreds of articles and columns, was co-author of Values of Agrarian Landscapes across Europe and North America and is lead author of Farmland Birds across the World (forthcoming).

Birdwatching is among his passions.
