Agroscope Knowledge Transfer: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Swiss farmers can access the latest research on soil, climate, and crop protection through this federal knowledge transfer scheme.
This scheme provides Swiss farmers with direct access to the latest scientific research and findings produced by the Federal Research Institute. It serves as a bridge between academic research and practical application on the farm.
Who it's for
This program is designed specifically for the agricultural community in Switzerland. All Swiss farmers are eligible to utilize these resources to help inform their farming practices and decision-making processes.
What you get
You receive access to current research findings and scientific data focused on the core pillars of modern agriculture. This includes detailed information on soil health and management, insights into climate patterns affecting local agriculture, and the latest developments in crop protection methods. These resources are intended to help you stay informed about the scientific advancements that impact how crops are grown and maintained.
What it costs you
There is no financial cost to access this knowledge. You can use the online resources and participate in educational webinars at no charge, making it a free way to keep your farming knowledge up to date.
The catch to know
