Our benefits

All benefits

Good food, healthy environment

Agroscope is the Swiss federal centre of excellence for research in the agriculture and food sector. Its researchers work at a number of sites in Switzerland. Headquartered in Bern-Liebefeld (as of 2026 : Posieux), Agroscope is attached to the Swiss Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research EAER.

Additional information

Exotic invasive organisms ('neobiota') represent a challenge for the agricultural sector, with the increase in international trade and human mobility encouraging their introduction and spread. Since they can disrupt agricultural systems, studying their ecological traits and harmfulness allows the development of sustainable control strategies. The 'Neobiota' Research Group investigates these issues.
