ORGANIC FARMING INNOVATIONS NETWORK EUROPE

Project description

Organic farming knowledge and practices across Europe

Organic farming is becoming increasingly popular among European farmers. However, enhancing the competitiveness of organic farmers requires the right knowledge. The OH-FINE project aims to empower European farmers and smallholders by defining, enhancing, and transferring effective and competitive organic farming knowledge and alternatives. The project addresses farmers' capacities, consumer needs and changes in the evolving food market. It will establish a pan-European organic farming learning community (OFC) by developing a comprehensive framework for organic farming knowledge and practices, implementing a multi-agent learning system and validating the framework through five case study areas across Europe. The project will collect, distribute and disseminate easily accessible, practice-oriented knowledge on organic farming, focusing on cereals, oilseeds, protein crops and livestock.
