My name is Marianne Niinikoski. I am from Jyväskylä, Finland and I work in Institute of Bioeconomy of Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences.

Currently, I work as a project manager of the project called Lammastalouden tuotannontekijät (English translation would be something like “Factors of production in the sheep sector”). In addition to this, I work in a few other projects and I do a bit of communication and marketing work (mainly I do some video projects).

I have a bachelor degree in Agriculture and Rural Industries (Agrologist) and I will soon graduate as a logistics engineer. My areas of expertise are livestock production, organic farming, farm logistics and economics. My career includes i.a. few years of project work with my current employer. I have also previously worked as a farm entrepreneur (beef cattle production).
