Rooted in agriculture 🌱

Food quality is at the heart of Swiss agriculture. This is incarnated, for instance, by the creation of the Swiss Vitamin Institute in 1931 which aimed to control the vitamin content in foodstuff. Switzerland is one of the most regulated countries when it comes to land protection and animal welfare to ensure ethical production, biodiversity, lowered greenhouse effects, water protection and natural soil fertility.
