Agriculture Forestry, Food Science & Management
Sustainable Agricultural Production Systems
We support Swiss agriculture in the development and optimisation of animal and arable production systems that are economically, ecologically and socially sustainable.
Areas of research
- Adaptation of animal productions systems to new framework condition
- Production and use of qualitatively high value agricultural crops
- Sustainability in agricultural production systems
- Animal husbandry
Sustainable and Use-orientated Forestry Management
With our R&D projects we provide the basis for the sustainable and use-orientated management of Swiss forests. Of central concern are measures that enable the forest ecosystem to reach or remain in a state where social needs in terms of use, protection and leisure provision are most effectively met.
Areas of research
- Forest Ecology
- Forest Production
- Mountain Forests and Natural Hazards
Food Science & Management
This research focus encompasses the entire food product value-creation chain, from processing to consumption. This includes the further development of production processes, particularly in the area of milk technology, optimisation of management processes in the food industry, and market and consumer analyses.
Areas of research
- Milk technology
- Consumer Science & Marketing
- Food Business
