on Agricultural knowledge for Development
Agrinatura is an Association of European Universities and Research centres. Agrinatura – the European Alliance on Agricultural Knowledge for Development work jointly with its members to achieve the common goal of supporting agricultural development in a sustainable manner by creating a network, establishing project consortia, leading policy dialogue and providing an evidence-base knowledge platform and capacity building. It seeks to nurture scientific excellence through joint research, educational & training programmes and projects that contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals can achieved by grouping a number of experts from our member institutions, who provide expertise and necessary theoretical background for our activities.
