Federal Agricultural Research Centre
The Federal Agricultural Research Center (FAL) (German: Bundesforschungsanstalt für Landwirtschaft), headquartered in Braunschweig, was a federal authority of the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection. On January 1, 2008, FAL was split into the Johann Heinrich von Thünen Institute, the Julius Kuehn Institute and the Friedrich Loeffler Institute.
The Federal Research Institute for Agriculture was divided into four areas:
- Soil / Plant (Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Agronomy and green agriculture, agro-ecology)
- Animal (animal nutrition, animal husbandry, animal welfare and animal husbandry)
- Technology (technology and biosystems, engineering and Construction)
- Agricultural Economics (Business Administration, Rural areas, market and agricultural trade policy)
There was also a Institute of Organic Farming in Westerau.
