Peasant ambassador for biodiversity - award for Haidershofen

The "Farming for Nature" initiative has given a remarkable price, and attention is paid to an outstanding farmer from Haidershofen. Alexander Steindl was recognized as an "ambassador for biodiversity" as part of an online voting. This is an appreciation for farmers who stand out by innovative practices and ecological responsibility in order to make a valuable contribution to nature and sustainable agriculture.

The award took place on November 18, 2023 in the Urania in Vienna, where Steindl was honored together with other nominated farmers. This event provided an insight into the diverse approaches with which the ambassadors do agriculture in harmony with nature. The company is increasingly expecting from agriculture that it not only produces healthy foods, but also plays a positive role in terms of climate protection, animal welfare and the restoration of ecosystems.

unique approaches in agriculture

Steindl has created an innovative pasture system, especially for its cattle, which is called "sunny pasture". This system includes numerous valuable structures that not only benefit the animals, but also help nature. The ceremony for the ambassadors for biodiversity in 2024 presented five outstanding companies, with Steindl winning the audience award after over 1,500 people had voted for their favorites.

At this big festive event, there were also small interviews with each of the ambassadors who offered the opportunity to learn more about their unique economic methods. This closer inspection underlines the need to not consider agriculture in isolation, but as part of a larger ecological system that maintains and protects.

The importance of such awards is clearly obvious: they are intended to raise awareness of the valuable contributions of farmers to biodiversity and recognize their commitment. As part of "Farming for Nature", the excellent companies receive a platform to share their ways of thinking and approaches with a wider audience. This not only promotes appreciation for sustainable practices, but could also inspire other farmers to go similar paths.
