Infrastructure

At the Agricultural Institute of Slovenia, we are aware that high-quality infrastructure is the foundation of progress in agricultural sciences. Our extensive network of laboratories, experimental fields, orchards, and infrastructure centers enables the execution of top-level research as well as the development and transfer of knowledge into practical applications in agriculture. Each unit specializes in specific segments of agricultural sciences, from genetics and biotechnology to fruit growing, viticulture, and animal husbandry, allowing us a comprehensive approach to solving the challenges of modern farming.
