Over six weeks, Rune and his family lived in Thailand while he trained local teams on advanced litter spreading techniques, optimizing workflows, and transferring knowledge from European practices to local methods. This project highlighted Rune’s passion for sharing knowledge and his ability to bridge cultural differences to achieve optimal results.

Rune’s work in Thailand not only improved the farm’s operations but also fostered valuable synergies between European and Asian farming practices. His insights into the different parameters affecting poultry farming in various climates have enriched his understanding and approach to international projects.
