Strategic support from a global leader in the agrifood sector
New Agriculture New Generation collaborates with Rutgers University–New Brunswick, one of the world’s leading public research institutions, with the aim of enhancing innovation, applied knowledge and sustainable development in Greece’s agrifood sector.
“All of us at Rutgers are proud of our role as a strategic and technical advisor. But it is the leadership and the people of New Agriculture New Generation — whose work and accomplishments over the past five years truly deserve recognition and attention.”
– Dr. Robert M. Goodman, Rutgers University
Our collaboration with Rutgers University began with a shared belief in the power of knowledge, research, and their application in the real world. In 2018, the New Agriculture New Generation initiative was born from a partnership between Rutgers, the Agricultural University of Athens, and the American Farm School, with the founding donation of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). The vision was clear: to establish a modern organization acting as a catalyst for change in the Greek agrifood sector.
In October 2020, the initiative evolved into a non-profit civil company based in Greece, dedicated to the systemic support of the Greek agrifood ecosystem. At this new stage, Rutgers remained a key strategic and technical advisor, offering its deep expertise and valuable international perspective. Our network of partners, supporters and donors expanded, reinforcing our commitment to long-term sustainability.
Rutgers University–New Brunswick is the flagship campus of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, which boasts a history of over 250 years. It consistently ranks among the top 60 universities globally, is a member of the Association of American Universities (AAU) and is home to world-renowned faculty across 12 schools specializing in agriculture, natural sciences, entrepreneurship and more.
As a strategic and technical advisor, Rutgers supports the implementation of New Agriculture New Generation’s initiatives at both a strategic and operational level, leveraging its longstanding experience in the agrifood sector and its academic excellence.
This collaboration is not merely a partnership with a university — it is a dynamic pillar of knowledge and innovation that continuously empowers New Agriculture New Generation’s vision for a sustainable, outward-looking and modern primary sector. A sector that is driven by its people — the new generation of producers and entrepreneurs — and international alliances that bring the world closer to Greek land.
