Welcome to the Institute for Agroecology (IfA)

Startseite-kubiak

I´m happy that you are interested in our reseach work and I would like to invite you herewith to learn more about the focuses of the different work groups.

The institute originated from a work group already founded in 1986 which was developed constantly during the following years. 1991 we received our first GLP certificate, 1996 the work group turned into a department and since 2005 we belong to the RLP AgroScience GmbH as a scientific institute.

So, we already work for more than 25 years in applied research projects at the borderline beween agriculture and environment. A special focus of our work is on permanent cultures.

Our research work is for

  • bringing into line ecology and economy at the borderline of agriculture and environment
  • a more realistic assessment of the fate and possible effects of pesticides and herbicides as well as other anthropogenic influences on the environment
  • the reduction of waste and waste water as well as the energetic use of organic rests from agricultural productions
  • environmentally friendly techniques in agriculture

Our project partners are from Germany, Europe, USA, and Asia. We are happy when you are interested in our research work. Please, give us a phone call or write an e-mail

with kind regards

Roland Kubiak
