Career perspectives

The institutes which supervise IPAG students all work on the natural scientific basics of agriculture, production techniques, the economic and social structures of agriculture as well as the present-day and future situation of agricultural production and its effects on society, economy and the environment. These institutes provide the scientific basis for analysing development in the agrarian sector and therefore accomplish a decisive contribution to food security and the development of rural areas on the basis of sustainable production systems.
