Global Cluster AgNet

Feeding an ever-growing world population will be one of the great challenges of the future. The demands on the food and agriculture industry are increasing. Production processes, traceability, sustainability, food safety as well as environmental and climate compatibility are in the focus in order to satisfy a constantly increasing demand for quality among consumers and to meet international trade guidelines and standards. Many countries and locations where AHKs exist and which are characterised by agricultural and livestock activities, as well as having a well-structured food and beverage industry, are precisely dependent on new technologies in order to cope with the challenges of the future. Experience shows that the interests and problems in these countries are often very similar. Based on comprehensive information and customised services, the AgNet Cluster facilitates the market entry of German SMEs and suppliers of technologies for the processing industry, especially in the areas of food and packaging, into the corresponding regions.
