Agronomy / hydroponic systems / Northern Rivers NSW

Charles van Kempen

Plant science, hydroponics, controls thinking and design support for practical growing work.

I work across plant and soil science, crop observation, hydroponic systems, controlled-environment agriculture, fertigation, monitoring, controls and CAD-supported project design.

I grew up in the Northern Rivers and understand the local mix of small farms, subtropical conditions, protected cropping, turf, nurseries and practical growing constraints across Byron Bay, Ballina, Lismore, Mullumbimby, Bangalow and nearby towns.

Based in the Northern Rivers · Remote project support available
