Linking Landscape, Environment, Agriculture and Food (LEAF) is a new research unit resulting from the fusion of four research units from the Instituto Superior de Agronomia (ISA), Centro de Arquitetura Paisagista "Prof. Francisco Caldeira Cabral", Centro de Botânica Aplicada à Agricultura, Centro de Engenharia dos Biossistemas e Química Ambiental. LEAF promotes research within the main issues on the whole agro-food chain, from cells and microorganisms to landscape design, by using a balanced combination of research on basic disciplines with applied sciences and engineering to develop knowledge and promote effective solutions to meet conservation of resources and the need to increase food production and quality. LEAF is still committed to graduate education, innovation, technology transfer, internationalization and the dissemination of knowledge. To meet these challenges the unit is organized in three Research Groups interlinked into four Thematic Lines.
