At the beginning, Institute was engaged mainly in issues set by the
former Agricultural Council, but later it started with active cooperation
with cooperatives and combines, followed by intense field scientific
research work. During the ’50s and ‘60s Institutes’ work was focused on
regional researches, so IAE made numerous studies, plans and
development programs on the national, regional and local level, mostly in
less developed and mountain areas in Serbia.
