Research

We conduct research that combines biology, technology and systems analysis to develop sustainable, climate-smart and competitive production systems in agriculture and horticulture. We study how plants, animals, humans and the environment interact in both field-based and controlled cultivation environments – and how these systems can be strengthened as climate and resource challenges increase.
