Svend Brandstrup Hansen

Svend is educated farmer and has, throughout his career, worked with agricultural projects both nationally and internationally.

As a farmer, it has always been second nature for Svend to maximise the output of every crop - with the current development within climate- and environmental impact, which is high on the political and global agenda, it has become very important to utilise cultivated crops in a more holistic way. It is the vision that Svend brings to Hveiti ingredients.
