Career

Flor Joosen descends from a family of millers, and the windmill in the Bokrijk museum is an old mill of the Joosen family business.
He started his career in the family business for cattle (Joosen-Luyckx) and fish feed (Joosen-Luyckx Aqua Bio). Later on, he became active in poultry with Belki, a poultry slaughterhouse.

In the eighties, he wanted to improve on the fish feed and contacted Willy Verdonck at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Out of this contact grew a fishfarm, which was the basis for a sturgeon nursery, and which led to the caviar business in the early nineties of the twentieth century.

gollark: Well, you should explain that while it can, technically, do a lot of things, it takes a lot of work to do that and it can be overshadowed pretty easily by dedicated tools/blocks/whatever.

gollark: Oh. Right. Yes. That.
