Richard is a British and Polish agronomist with crossover knowledge in Animal Nutrition. After graduating from University of Leeds UK, he built a mixed farming operation in South Wales focused on vegetable and cereal seed production.

After the fall of the Berlin wall he set up a company in Poland, managing former state farms, growing a vast range of crops, providing agronomy advice and manufacturing liquid fertilisers.

He formed AminoA Biostimulants in 2014 together with soil scientist Zoran Nedic ( University of Belgrade, Serbia)  to develop a range of amino-acid based crop Biostimulants with the aim of commercialising their use in broad-acre agriculture and increasing farm profitability whilst reducing the environmental damage caused by the overuse of pesticides and fertilisers.
