With more than 15 years of experience at the intersection of government and business, I help organizations and companies in the agricultural sector strengthen their position \u2013 nationally and internationally.<\/p>\n\n
From my background as agricultural attach\u00e9, policy coordinator and consultant, I know how to connect rules, strategy, diplomatic space and practice with each other. My strength lies in translating complex regulations into feasible solutions. Through proper question articulation and working constructively with policymakers to find space within the frameworks <\/p>\n\n
“You must make a case” is my motto. A well-founded argument creates movement where there was standstill \u2013 whether it involves market access projects or solving trade barriers. <\/p>\n\n
I believe in the power of collective action and in the value of good business practices. That’s why Agri Trade Solutions works both for industry organizations and directly for companies on export issues, market access, positioning and strategic advice <\/p>\n\n
What drives me? Making a difference \u2013 with substance, strategy, perseverance and a fresh perspective. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3461,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"%%post_title%% %%sep%% Team %%sitetitle%%","_seopress_titles_desc":"With more than 15 years of experience at the intersection of government and business, I help organizations and companies in the agricultural sector strengthen their position \u2013 nationally and internationally.","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3495","medewerker","type-medewerker","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/agritradesolutions.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Iris-Faassen-Agri-Trade-Solutions.jpg",1000,667,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/agritradesolutions.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Iris-Faassen-Agri-Trade-Solutions-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/agritradesolutions.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Iris-Faassen-Agri-Trade-Solutions-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/agritradesolutions.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Iris-Faassen-Agri-Trade-Solutions-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/agritradesolutions.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Iris-Faassen-Agri-Trade-Solutions.jpg",1000,667,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/agritradesolutions.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Iris-Faassen-Agri-Trade-Solutions.jpg",1000,667,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/agritradesolutions.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Iris-Faassen-Agri-Trade-Solutions.jpg",1000,667,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Iris Faassen","author_link":"https:\/\/agritradesolutions.nl\/en\/author\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"With more than 15 years of experience at the intersection of government and business, I help organizations and companies in the agricultural sector strengthen their position \u2013 nationally and internationally.
