 s established in 1944 to support research in ecological agriculture and bi
 ological medicine.\n \nPrioritized research areas:\n\n	Organic and biodyn
 amic food production or other methods and orientations that promote this g
 oal. Research on improved preparation and storage of food\, as well as the
  analysis of food quality can receive support.\n	Role of the diet in the t
 reatment of diseases and strengthening the body's resistance.\n	Physical i
 mpact and bodily functions of complementary medicine (e.g. integrative\, b
 iological or alternative medicine).\n\n \nThe foundation supports primari
 ly applied research.\nBasic research in areas such as\, for example\, mole
 cular biology and genetic research can be supported if it clarifies causal
  relationships that can be considered to be of direct value for further re
 search related to foundation's purpose.\n \nEkhagastiftelsen funds strate
 gic and innovative projects of a pilot nature\, as well as research that i
 s highly newsworthy. It also supports participatory research projects\, in
  which\, for example\, farmers and scientists work together to identify re
 search questions and methods\, and jointly evaluate the results.\n \nBesi
 des scientific research\, Ekhagastiftelsen also supports\, to a lesser ext
 ent\, training activities\, documentation projects\, books\, conferences o
 r seminars. \n \nWho can apply: applicants can be based at institutions (
