Welcome to the homepage for Greenlandic agriculture and the Agricultural Consulting Services!
On this website you will find important information on agriculture in Greenland - in three different languages.
The homepage contains general facts on Greenlandic agriculture, the Upernaviarsuk agricultural research and training center, and information on services and institutions in the House of Agriculture. The House of Agriculture is located in Qaqortoq, South Greenland, in Kommune Kujalleq's administrative capital.
This building is owned by the Greenlandic government and serves as an office for the following:
The Agricultural Consulting Services
The district veterinarian
SPS consultants - the Cooperative Sheep Farmers' Associations |
|
The House of Agriculture was built in 1919 as the living quarters and offices of the agricultural consultant, or "Sheep Farming Board" as it was called in colonial days. It was used for this purpose until 1968. From 1968 until 2003, the building served as an office and living quarters for the veterinarian supervisor of the Danish Ministry of Agriculture.
| |
 |
The position of veterinarian supervisor was discontinued in 2003, and the building is no longer used as a living quarters.
The house is now used as office space for all the institutions that work in the Greenlandic agricultural sector.
There is a large garden near the offices with demonstration plantings and small-scale sales of garden plants, primarily bushes and trees.
