Biologische Bundesanstalt für Land- und Forstwirtschaft (bba)

Short description

The Federal Biological Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry (BBA) focusses on the health and productivity of plants. Guiding principle for the BBA is that food plants as well as ornamental plants are cultivated and retained in a healthy state. This in turn contributes to the quality of life for humans. Through its multitude of research projects, the BBA takes part in the sustainable preservation of the cultivated landscape that surrounds us, by establishing fundamentals of phytomedicine, by developing sustainable methods and solutions for plant protection, and by analysing and evaluating costs and benefits in the fields of plant protection and biosafety/green genetic engineering.
