Secretary General
The Conférence des directeurs cantonaux de l’agriculture (CDCA) promotes collaboration between the cantons as well as between the cantons and the Confederation, mainly in the fields of agricultural policy, support for productive peasant agriculture, and the preservation of arable land. The CDCA participates in the formation of opinions and aims to develop common positions. For concerns likely to garner a majority, it ensures, through its bodies, an effective representation of interests at the federal level and with other intercantonal conferences.
