Through the advisory services and support we provide, we contribute to increased competitiveness for Swedish agriculture. Our turnover is over 560 million SEK, and we have approximately 500 employees distributed across 27 locations throughout the country.

Växa's Knowledge & Development division strives for very high competence in the most important subject areas related to milk and beef production. We play a vital role by monitoring research results and making them accessible to Swedish agricultural businesses in the form of services and tools. We also carry out assignments and investigations for authorities, food companies, and other actors in the food chain. Our development division also conducts its own projects, both in collaboration with researchers and more applied work at the farm level. Our work contributes to the development of Swedish agriculture by providing a varied and innovative range of services that increase profitability and productivity, ensure good animal health, and reduce the climate footprint.

Who we are looking for

• Conduct environmental scanning and competitive analysis.
• Support our advisors and other colleagues on questions within your area of expertise.
• Disseminate target-group-adapted knowledge internally and externally through various media.
