About the SLU Breeding Network

The SLU Breeding Network aims to:

• strengthen research in plant and animal breeding by utilizing the potential of the many researchers working at SLU's various parts
• make current research in the field of breeding at SLU visible, both internally and externally
• increase the interaction between research and education.

The SLU Breeding Network is a collaboration between Faculty of Landscape Architecture, Horticulture and Crop Production Science (LTV), Faculty of Forest Sciences (S), Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science (VH), and Faculty of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences (NJ) and is a continuation of the vice-chancellors strategic investment into the cross-faculty subject areas that started in 2014 (SLU.ua.2013.1.1.1-5722).
