On Friday, 16 October 2020, FiBL Switzerland had the honour of welcoming Mr. Edward T. McMullen, Ambassador of the United States of America to Switzerland, and the members of the Executive Council of the canton of Aargau, Dr. Markus Dieth, Jean-Pierre Gallati and Vincenza Trivigno, to FiBL in Frick.

FiBL directors Knut Schmidtke, Lucius Tamm and Marc Schärer presented FiBL's research and advisory work, and took the Ambassador and the members of the Executive Council on a tour of the research institute.

We are very pleased about the Ambassador's interest in organic agriculture and its research and development. The exchange of ideas was very inspiring. It is well known that the USA is the world's largest market for organic products. This is one of the reasons why FiBL hopes for a strategic expansion of research cooperation between the USA and Switzerland in the field of organic farming and sustainable nutrition systems.
