IAMO Revenue and Competitors

The aim of IAMO’s work is not just to help understand, but also manage the far-reaching processes of change to reduce on-going development deficits in the agricultural and food sector, as well as in the rural areas of the formerly centrally planned economies of Europe and Asia. This goal gives rise to the three core tasks of the Institute: - Internationally oriented research into agricultural and food economics including the development of rural areas. - Exchange of ideas between the academic, business and political communities. - Support for young academic scholars. The Institute sees itself as a driving force of international research into agricultural economics. Outstanding research is the engine of the Institute’s development, and it creates the conditions in which the other two core tasks can be performed. For instance, IAMO acts as a forum for exchange, and in this way it supports the cross-linking of research and dialogue between decision makers from the academic, political and business communities. It also uses its expertise and capacities to help academic scholars become fully qualified. Here there is a particular focus on supporting young academics from partner countries. Through its international orientation and cooperation with other teaching and research institutes, IAMO is helping to strengthen Halle’s profile as a centre of science and research in Central Germany.
