Plant breeding and Agriculture

Our services are targeted at improving production and processing of high quality seeds, field crops, forage, vegetables, fruits and wine. We dispose of extensive international experience in demonstrating and imparting knowledge and skills on modern, ecologically sustainable farming systems and have excellent network with specialized institutions and associations of plant breeding and agricultural technologies in Germany and partner countries. Marketing aspects and support to producer organisations usually form part of the advisory packages. Training, demonstration trials and field visits in-country and abroad support uptake of novel technologies and approaches.

Climate change and its impact on different plants is an important topic and climate smart plant agriculture solutions are favored. Peri-uban integrated agriculture with special emphasis on plant and vegetable production utilizing minimal soil quantities is also an area of expertise in this sector.
