Long term experiments

AGRO’s long term experiments

The Department of Agroecology maintains a number of long-term experiments, the oldest of which was established in 1894. What they share is their contribution to answering pressing societal questions related to both climate and the environment.

These long-term experiments therefore constitute important research platforms that the department takes pride in maintaining and further developing.

“The long-term experiments are among the oldest assets the department possesses, yet they are also some of the most forward-looking. They serve as platforms that generate knowledge and provide answers to pressing societal questions.”
