Viikki Research Farm (LS-RIA/Research Stations)

Finland's most urban farm located in the heart of Helsinki. The research farm is primarily used for agricultural and forestry science research and teaching at the University of Helsinki.

Viikki research farm provides a modern farm infrastructure to serve as a platform for research and education purposes of the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry. The farm is a part of the HiLIFE infrastructures. The farm administrates 155 hectares of arable land and a research dairy barn with 60 dairy cows. Main part of the arable area is used conventionally for feed production for the dairy cattle; grass silage and pasture is grown roughly on half of the fields, and the rest of the area is used for feed grain and protein crop (e.g. faba bean) production, as well as for test plots for plant science and other life sciences research.
