REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE & BIO-SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT

Designs and implements precision technology maps for 1+ million ha across Ukraine and Kazakhstan, delivering double-digit yield increases

Led R&D of 100+ soybean varieties at Svarog West Group, achieving national yield records and industrializing value chains for pumpkin, coriander, lentils, mustard, and medicinal crops.
Developed a biochemical crop-growth model (nutrition as an algorithm), improving crop resilience and quality while reducing input costs by ~25%.
Built a global breeder network across all inhabited continents, importing elite germplasm and running thousands of field trials to localize genetics.
Trained agronomy leads for 50+ large agricultural enterprises, with protégés now managing technology adoption across major land banks.

Chief Bio Architect

Volodymyr Stepanchuk

35+ years in seed science and agricultural research - spanning academic institutions to large-scale industrial agro-production.
Evaluated and compared 100+ varieties of winter wheat, 100+ soybean varieties, and 90+ sunflower varieties from Ukrainian, European, Canadian, and American breeding programs to identify best-fit cultivars for the region's conditions.
Key results achieved under her leadership at Svarog West Group: winter wheat yield - 8.8 t/ha (among the highest in Ukraine), soybean - 3.8 t/ha; seed germination rate - 95–97%.
Developed and implemented the application of morphoregulators for seed treatment - photosynthesis in treated plants exceeds the control group by 2–3 times.
