Emmy Koeleman was born in Uithoorn, which is around 8km from Amsterdam and
very close to the famous flower market in Aalsmeer.
Despite having grown up with the main horticultural area in the Netherlands
on her doorstep, her interest lay in agriculture.
In 1996, she began a BSc degree in Animal Husbandry at the Agricultural
College in Delft. And then went on to complete an MSc in Animal Science at
Wageningen University, where she completed her thesis at its department of
Quantitative Veterinary Epidemiology.
Since graduating from Wageningen in 2002, Emmy has worked with a variety of companies involved in agricultural
publishing. In 2003, she took up a position at Reed Business, initially
as editorial assistant for the magazine Pig Progress, but since 2005
as editor of Feed Mix and co-editor of Feed Tech.
