ITADA connects applied agricultural research with stakeholders in the agricultural sector to jointly develop concrete solutions for farming that is both profitable and environmentally friendly.

Unlike a traditional research institute, ITADA does not have its own testing stations, laboratories, or permanent research staff. Instead, it serves as a cross-border cooperation platform that pools the expertise of institutions across the Upper Rhine region.

Cooperation is managed by a secretariat and a steering committee. Together, they define priority areas for research and development and coordinate project implementation.
