Sowing the future - breeding combines sciences and talents

Plant breeding works like a big orchestra: many specialists play together! Science and high-tech meet manual work and experience.

The tasks for plant breeding are becoming more diverse and exciting.

Whether it's climate change or the path to even more sustainable agriculture with fewer chemicals in the fields: the demands on plants are increasing.
