I attended the University of Agricultural Sciences in Gödöllő (now the Szent István University) where, alongside my studies in technical English translation, I also obtained a degree in agricultural engineering. I went on to complete my PhD in agricultural engineering at the Budapest University of Economics. Since the beginning of my career I have considered my primary tasks to be helping farmers, and creating, organizing, and coordinating knowledge transfer programs and services, within which agricultural consulting work provides an excellent opportunity to learn about practical problems and needs, and to develop and deliver potential solutions. From the mid-1990s, in parallel with the increasing importance of the Internet, I had the opportunity to participate in a number of agro-IT projects of national and international significance, including the coordination of the eFarmer project, which was a forerunner of the now well-known e-Application system. At the request of the FAO, I was able to help build the AKIS system and info-communication platform of several countries, and to help develop their digital strategy as an international expert.
