The society aims to promote and encourage research and education in all branches of plant production and to facilitate cooperation and knowledge transfer. The executive board comprises 5 members from different research disciplines and institutions which are elected for a maximum period of 8 years.

The Swiss society of Agronomy (SSA) covers arable, forage and horticultural crops and has its focus on the following topics:
