" The work I do is very creative and dynamic. It requires constant learning, contacts with a lot of people, and requires great mobility and communication. The working day begins with a team meeting. After the administrative work is done, we usually go to the field, which means visiting the farmers, talking to them, contracting production, visiting the crops in the field, and advising the producers.

" I try to structure my working day right at the beginning through a written plan of tasks and obligations. In addition, I work on the daily motivation of team members, and I am in close contact with individual producers. The workday is dynamic, stressful, and challenging, but at the end of the day it's always the same conclusion: all starts at the farm!"

" In daily contact with farmers, I directly influence their production and the results of their work. When you imagine that just that raw material you’ve produced will be part of a vegetable burger or similar product on the shelves in Asia or America, then you really feel that you are directly changing the future of the nutrition.
