Dr. Emilia Mikulewicz Joins WAF Council, Contributing Field Expertise in Sustainable Agriculture and Horticulture
We are pleased to share that Dr. Emilia Mikulewicz, Founder and CEO of Cultiva EcoSolutions, has officially joined the World Agriculture Forum (WAF) Council. This appointment affirms her long-standing commitment to advancing science-based, solution-oriented approaches in sustainable agriculture and horticulture, across a range of production systems. It also marks a milestone, as Dr. Mikulewicz is the first expert of Polish origin to join the Council, bringing valuable field experience from Europe in sustainable agriculture and advanced horticulture.
This moment also reflects the shared efforts of those across the international agricultural community who continue to shape spaces for collaboration and knowledge exchange.
The World Agriculture Forum operates as a global platform where policy, science, and practical expertise intersect to address key challenges facing the future of agriculture. Dr. Mikulewicz’s participation reflects her dedication to contributing technical insight to international dialogues while maintaining Cultiva EcoSolutions’ core mission: solving real problems through independent, field-proven consulting. In parallel, she continues to share knowledge through professional channels, offering grounded perspectives on sustainable agriculture, advanced horticulture, and ecological production systems.
Her appointment does not signal a change in direction for the company, but reflects a continued focus on sustainable crop production, organic and regenerative practices, and practical system implementation across diverse production environments.
About the World Agriculture Forum
The World Agriculture Forum (WAF) is an independent, international platform connecting policymakers, researchers, agribusiness leaders, and development institutions to accelerate progress in global food and farming systems. Operating without commercial affiliation, WAF promotes actionable dialogue and knowledge exchange over promotional agendas.
Its strategic focus includes food security, climate-smart agriculture, and innovation across the value chain. Through global summits, expert publications, and multi-stakeholder initiatives, WAF connects policy, science, and practical implementation in ways that empower producers and inform global strategies.
At its core, the Forum supports public-private partnerships, technology deployment, and data-driven solutions that remove systemic barriers and shape resilient agricultural futures through technical insight and cross-sector cooperation.
This appointment builds upon a long-standing commitment to technical mastery and grounded field experience that began decades before Cultiva EcoSolutions was founded.
A Continuation of Practical Leadership in Sustainable Agriculture and Horticulture
Scientific Foundation in Sustainable Agriculture
Dr. Emilia Mikulewicz holds a PhD in Agronomy (Agriculture and Horticulture Sciences), an MSc in Agriculture, and a BSc in Horticulture, which she completed with the highest academic score in her department at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, distinguishing herself among several hundred students. Immersed in agriculture since childhood, she grew up on a family farm in Warmia, a region in northeastern Poland known for its rich agricultural traditions, where she gained early exposure to both crop and livestock management.
She has authored over 20 peer-reviewed publications on topics such as sustainable yield optimization, ecological crop protection, the effects of biostimulants, and nutrient quality in medicinal and vegetable crops. Driven by a strong passion for ornamental horticulture, she also holds a vocational certificate in floristry from one of Poland’s leading floral design schools. As a GlobalG.A.P. Registered Trainer and FSA Official Advisor Network (SAI Platform), she brings an interdisciplinary approach that unites sustainable agriculture and advanced horticultural practice with international certification systems.
Her academic foundation has always served a practical purpose: translating research into real-world tools for producers and technical teams facing agronomic and climatic challenges.
Global Field Expertise: From Family Farm to International Advisory
With nearly three decades of hands-on agricultural experience, grounded in early responsibilities on a diversified family farm, Emilia established a deep practical foundation in both agriculture and horticulture well before assuming formal leadership roles.
This early exposure laid the groundwork for her later role as Senior Grower at a key branch of one of Eastern Europe’s largest organic hydroponic groups, a supplier to major, well-known European retail chains. Within just two years, she advanced to management, overseeing high-value and technically demanding crops such as fresh herbs and leafy greens under strict organic certification standards.
Her precision in nutrient delivery, biologically based pest control, and operational efficiency supported consistent yields, including sustained periods of almost zero measurable crop loss. This remains an extraordinary benchmark considering commercial hydroponic organic production systems.
As founder and lead consultant at Cultiva EcoSolutions, she now supports clients worldwide through on-site and remote consultations, delivering sustainable agriculture consulting services tailored to local conditions without compromising compliance or measurable results.
Global conversations only matter if they translate into smarter decisions on real farms. That’s where technical integrity delivers most, through measurable outcomes for producers.

Impact for Cultiva EcoSolutions Clients and Global Agriculture
While this appointment may expand Dr. Mikulewicz’s engagement in international conversations, it will not affect the day-to-day priorities of Cultiva EcoSolutions. The focus remains unchanged: supporting farms and agri-businesses with practical, technically grounded solutions that meet real production and compliance challenges.
