The agri-food industry has played an important role in society for hundreds of years and continues to do so today. Research on this industrial sector has been intensified lately, and more specifically on the economics and management of agri-food businesses. Despite this trend, there is a lack of resources provided to this research sector. The EU-funded AgriFoodBoost project aims to change this by assisting the University of Zagreb's Faculty of Agriculture (FAZ) in becoming a competitive player in this field of research. To that end, it will introduce several programmes that aim to help researchers develop better coordination and communication, in addition to helping them carry out research.
