On-farm research
On-farm research means setting up simple experiments at operating farms, which are adjusted to the production goals defined by the farmers. The topic of the experiments is determined in cooperation with the participating farms. The main areas of research are arable farming, horticulture, viticulture and apiculture. Our network is unique in Hungary, and it was recognized with the Agricultural Development Award of the 78th OMÉK, the E.on Energy Globe Award in 2018 and the Certificate for the Protection of the Environment of the KSZGYSZ in 2019. Our unique on-farm project can be further extended until 2023 from the EU framework granted by the Ministry of Agriculture and the MNVH.
