For a number of years, AGRANA has been working together closely with the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU) and has also set up a foundation which supports the awarding of grants to ongoing scientific projects and promotes selected fields of study at the university. The aim here is to promote the subjects of agrarian economics, agrarian policy and food sciences at the university.
Since 2008, AGRANA has also supported the Association for the Promotion of Journalism in Lower Austria (Verein zur Förderung des Journalismus in Niederösterreich) and, in doing so, makes a contribution to the future professional development of up-and-coming economic journalists in Lower Austria. Furthermore, AGRANA provides grants for various projects in the area of scientific research.
