Support of the Southwest German Sugar Beet Cultivation Foundation

The Southwest German Sugar Beet Cultivation Foundation is committed to scientific research and practice-oriented vocational training related to sugar beet cultivation in Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate. As an ongoing open grant program, it is aimed at educational institutions as well as private individuals who wish to implement projects with a direct connection to sugar beet cultivation. Through the joint use of the foundation's income, innovative research approaches and professional qualification measures are supported, which sustainably strengthen the agricultural sector and rural development. Scientists, research institutions, and trainees alike benefit from the diverse funding opportunities, which can be applied for at any time without a fixed deadline.

Projects in the areas of research & innovation, education and training, as well as agriculture & rural development are funded. A prerequisite for approval is a clear scientific or vocational training orientation with a recognizable focus on sugar beet cultivation. The grants help to test new methods and technologies, deepen professional exchange, and implement practice-oriented training offers. The foundation's bodies – the board and the advisory council – jointly decide on the use of the income, ensuring a close link between the association and the union for the benefit of the growers. Interested project sponsors can submit their applications at any time and thus actively contribute to the future of sugar beet cultivation.
