Martijn de Klerk
Financial Manager/Flying Sensor Expert
Martijn de Klerk (MSc.) is financial manager and flying sensor expert at FutureWater with over six years of working experience in managing and executing international projects in the fields of water management, irrigation and agriculture. Martijn received his master degree in Environmental Sciences at Wageningen University, where he gained broad experience in planning and organizing projects, and worked both as a consultant and scientific researcher. His technical expertise embraces drone and satellite image processing and interpretation, GIS analysis, and water allocation modelling, both at the level of a single field and an entire river basin. Countries of work experience include The Netherlands, Spain, Mozambique, Kenya, Ghana and South Africa. Over the past years Martijn had a predominant role as project manager of FutureWater’s agricultural flying sensor (drone) projects in Mozambique, Kenya and Ghana. In these projects, successful local enterprises were established that provide a low-cost drone service to small- and largescale farmers. The high-resolution drone images, which are made by trained local operators, indicate crop stress, around ten days before it can be detected by the naked eye. This early-warming decision tool gives farmers the possibility to take preventive measures, reducing crop loss and thus increasing yields and farmer’s income. The images are also used for an innovative (water) productivity analysis in combination with crop growth modelling.
