The so-called project «Support Obst-Arbo» (SOA) is a common initiative of the Swiss federal research station Agroscope Changins-Wädenswil (ACW), the Swiss center for agricultural Extension and rural development (Agridea) and the Federation of Swiss fruit producers (Swissfruit) to promote profitable Swiss fruit production. The work is based on detailed data generation on the farm, where the manager gets his data on a full cost basis at the variety level. Around 30 fruit farms in Switzerland participate to this project by using the software ASA-jAGRAR, daily documented by the farm managers. Those data are collected and controlled by the extensionalists and analysed and evaluated by the researchers. Through this «from farm to farm» approach, economical and technical informations can be detected and the management process can be optimized.
