On March 4, 2026, Serhiy Andriushchenko, on behalf of the professional Facebook community “Crazy Agronomist,” announced that I had received the “Golden Beetle” award.
To be honest, it came as a surprise.
As far as I can remember, this is my first recognition for the work I have been doing for many years. But what matters most to me is not the award itself, but what it represents.
Just a few years ago, regenerative agriculture was still discussed with caution. Today, it is becoming an increasingly common part of professional conversations.
I am grateful to the “Crazy Agronomist” community for its trust.
The work continues.
