Meet Jeroen de Schutter
General Director, Agrotheek
Agrotheek is a nonprofit that teaches farmers how to work with innovations to get healthy crops and good income with lower costs and higher yield. Agrotheek’s general director, Jeroen de Schutter, saw an opportunity in the land outside our Middenmeer, Netherlands, data center. He approached us about cultivating the land to use as a learning field to demonstrate new innovations to farmers.
At the end of the season, Agrotheek sells the crops and uses the profits to support the institutes in the community, like the local football team and choir.

During the season when crops were growing, people from the Google data center liked what they saw and came once a month to view our fields. If we continue next year, we can grow tulips. It’s a beautiful garden in front of the data center.
