Agri-food research and development in Poland

Overview

Developments in Polish agri-food research and development have centered on collaborations involving the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW).

In late September 2026, SGGW signed a cooperation agreement with Krajowa Grupa Spożywcza (KGS) to integrate scientific research with the agri-food sector. This partnership focuses on food processing, digitalization, and improving food security through technological innovation and student training.

By October 2026, the focus on SGGW-based research expanded as the retailer Biedronka, in collaboration with Jeronimo Martins Polska, opened the Biedronka LAB. This R&D center aims to bridge academic research and industrial application by using consumer data to accelerate New Product Development (NPD) and scale laboratory formulations for mass production.
