Evelin Loit-Harro was very happy when she heard about the award. She said that it is a great recognition of their work. Evelin and Liina Talgre have been researching for years how to grow food well and save the environment.
Liina Talgre is an expert in organic farming and environmentally friendly agriculture. She also teaches students and producers. Evelin says that this is very important work.
Evelin comes from Pärnumaa. She has studied biology and genetics. She has also worked in France and at the Estonian Agricultural Board. In 2011, she started working at the Estonian University of Life Sciences. It was a very important moment for her.
Evelin enjoys working with students. She wants to help them find an interest in science. She is happy when students complete their first research paper.
Evelin says that there are two harvests in agriculture: crops and young scientists. Young people gain knowledge and pass it on. This is very important.
Evelin wishes that agriculture would get more attention. Good crops are grown in Estonia and animal husbandry is practiced. She wants people to understand its value.
Evelin believes that agriculture is very important. Every person eats three times a day. What they eat affects their health and life.
