Austrians of the year 2026:
Wolfgang Suske has been nominated for "Austrian of the Year" in the "Climate Initiatives" category—recognizing, among other things, the "Farming for Nature Austria" initiative he founded, which highlights farmers successfully implementing nature-oriented and biodiversity-friendly agriculture.
For him, the nomination is a great honor and, at the same time, a tribute to the "Farming for Nature" biodiversity ambassadors. These farmers champion nature conservation, biodiversity, and climate protection on their farms, demonstrating the vital contribution agriculture can make to preserving the natural foundations of our lives.
You can vote for Wolfgang Suske until mid-October, thereby supporting "Farming for Nature", climate protection and biodiversity efforts.
