“Without exaggeration, Ukraine today is based on agriculture. It has never been easy work, it is always hard and painstaking work of everyone involved in this process, and today it has become dangerous. However, despite everything, we have to train a high-quality specialist, because a specialist in the agricultural sector is the food security of the state.”
