Echoes from Practice

We research for practice, but also with practice: farmers work together with Agroscope on a range of projects, making plots and data available, testing tools and techniques and sharing their experiences. The aim is to jointly develop solutions that work in the real world.
On our website, we regularly introduce our partners and provide them with a forum to explain their work.
