Veggie Portrait. Jip - Jip chose the spring onion.
Hello!
My name is Jip. I recently got my bachelor's degree in Environmental Sciences and started at Mediamatic shortly after. My work here is centered in the aquaponics greenhouse and the garden. During my time as an intern I set up a project revolving around using canalwater in urban farming. Now, I am continuing with this project (amongst others) as a project manager. My goal is to limit the use of tapwater for irrigation purposes and communicate about the topic of water stress in general.
