Vision

Our vision is to make a sustainable contribution to sustainable plant breeding and plant research. In doing so, we focus on global challenges such as climate change and resource scarcity as well as local conditions and requirements in Baden-Württemberg and beyond. By using innovative technologies and researching a wide range of crops, we strive to find sustainable solutions for agriculture. With our work, we contribute to securing the food supply and are actively committed to preserving and increasing biodiversity. In doing so, we focus on combining tradition and progress and support the education of the next generation.

• The interface between research and application is the key to innovation in plant breeding.
