Nikita Rossov
SDG 2 Youth Ambassador in Russia

End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture

Nikita graduated from the All-Russian Institute of Cinematography in Irkutsk. But a few years before graduation, Nikita made an extraordinary decision to move to a village and become a farmer.

Today Nikita is an entrepreneur and owner of a farm and a cheese factory «Milasha» in the village of Khomutovo, Irkutsk District. In 2021, Nikita won the regional stage of the Young Entrepreneur of Russia competition and was also ranked among the top 10 young leaders of Asia by Outstanding Young Leaders of Asia Awards.

Some of his brightest projects were collecting food kits to support low-income people and doctors working in red zones during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as creating his own programme about in-demand professions in the Irkutsk region, which regularly airs on the regional branches of the “Russia1” and “Russia24” channels.
