The Knowledge Centre is located just outside Aarhus in Jutland. We employ a staff of approximately 500 professionals. |
The Knowledge Centre, Danish Agricultural Advisory Service, is the main supplier of professional knowledge for the agricultural professions.
Farming is a profession where the development is moving very quickly and where acquisition and implementation of new knowledge and new techniques constitute the difference between success and failure.
Our role is to process and convey the latest knowledge from research institution, companies and educational institutions and others – to our clients.
Our clients are mainly the 32 advisory centres that we are closely connected to in the partnership Danish Agricultural Advisory Service, but also food businesses, authorities and agricultural colleges. In a few areas, we also have farmers and other agriculturalists as our direct clients.
Among other things, our customers benefit from our close co-operation through:
- Highly specialised advisory services which match the needs of each farmer
- Full-range of services at all local advisory centres - at a high quality
- Access to the most recent products and methods
- Advisory services at competitive prices owing to rational procedures
- Products developed to match the actual, local requirements
Main task
A very important task of the Knowledge Centre is to bridge the gap between research and farmers. Among others we do this by participating in research projects, and together with our colleagues from the local advisory centres we make sure that the new knowledge is put into practice on farms.
