Association for Technology and Structures in Agriculture (KTBL)
Institution
Section overview
Description
The Association for Technology and Structures in Agriculture (KTBL) is a registered association to which belong about 400 members. KTBL is promoted by the German Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection. The headquarter resides in Darmstadt, where a staff of approx. 60 supports various areas of activity. We coordinate about 50 work groups, with 8-12 honorary volunteered experts. The mandated mission of KTBL is technology transfer.
