At EuroTier, we want to give this topic the attention it deserves,” adds von Czettritz.

“In just two years, the Women in Ag Award is already highly recognized in the industry – this is demonstrated by the high number of candidates, the impressive portraits of the winners and the great attention in the media and among the public,” says Kim Schoukens, Editor-in-Chief of the digital Women in Ag Magazine. “At EuroTier 2024, we want to continue this success story with strong personalities from agriculture, agribusiness, education, technology and research.

From female farmers who work in arable farming or animal husbandry, to female agribusiness experts and engineers, to women who work in teaching, research and development or in the media. What all applicants have in common is that they show an outstanding commitment to global agriculture,” says Schoukens, describing the criteria of the Women in Ag Award.
