One of the most important tasks of Crop Production is to keep advisers at the local advisory centres up to date with the latest knowledge on field operations. We provide farmers and advisers with the information they need to keep themselves informed about the rules and regulations that constitute the framework conditions for cultivating farmland in Denmark.
In practice, this means that we:
- produce new knowledge through national trials, farm tests and in co-operation with research scientists
- convey knowledge, mainly through LandbrugsInfo and Landmand.dk
- develop and offer IT solutions for data management and optimisation of agricultural holdings
- provide specialised advisory services to Danish farmers, mainly through local advisers
Many of our activities are co-ordinated with the activities of the other departments of the Knowledge Centre for Agriculture, the Danish Agricultural Advisory Service (DAAS) and of the local advisory centres throughout the country. The objective is results that are client-oriented and holistic.
Moreover, we help farmers meet the environmental demands they face and prepare flawless applications for support from the EU’s agricultural support schemes.
