Nutrition

An important sector in Eastern Switzerland

The agriculture and food industry is one of the most important sectors in Eastern Switzerland, employing more than 48,000 skilled workers. It is made up of a host of successful small and medium-sized enterprises, first-class educational institutions, committed associations and innovative research facilities. The Nutrition cluster encompasses all players along the entire value chain – from training and research to marketing, and from cultivation to sales.

Presence on the national stage

Eastern Switzerland’s deep-rooted traditions and rich history make it a unique location for the agriculture and food industry in Switzerland. Events such as OLMA and Tier&Technik showcase the region at the national level and emphasise its importance in the sector. This national standing is complemented by a strong network of companies, as well as educational and competence centres, such as the CUBIC Innovation Campus - Bühler, Swiss Future Farm, GVS Agrar and the Kompetenznetzwerk Ernährungswirtschaft (Competence Network for the Food Industry).
