Deliverables
A short promotion video will be developed by BIONEXT and IFOAM EU in which farmers from different member states explain why they use organic seed. The price difference to conventional seed and the reduced choice of cultivars work as disincentives for farmers to use organic seed. Reasons for farmers to use organic seed are the fact that they want to produce a 100% organic product (from seed to fork), to live up to consumer expectations, or because the seed is from an organic cultivar and has an added value. Additional incentives could for instance be a bonus for using organic seed, a clear demand from label organisations, traders, wholesalers or consumers and a level playing field across EU Member States. Pilot studies will be set up by BIONEXT and IFOAM EU with partners (ORC, ÖMKI, LBI, SEAE) and stakeholders in UK, HU, NL and ES to test the effect of the different incentives in different crops, value chains and countries. Baseline interviews will be conducted and the effect of the pilots on the organic see
Short videos (2-3 minutes with slide shows and video shots) will be used to present the project and to report about events such as farm days, and visits planned under the project. The videos will be disseminated through the website and uploaded in a dedicated YouTube channel for the project. A short introductory video will present the project. Approximately 3 videos will be based on interviews during visits in the framework of all WPs videos will be developed during workshop and activities of WP1 on the importance of organic seeds (ÖMKI)
Public Website will be set up by Month 6 with official information on the project (e.g. partners, collaborators, EC funding) and publishing all the materials produced by the project. The website will be updated regularly at least 4 times per year (IFOAM-EU).
Start-up project leaflet (by Month 6) in 10 national languages (EN, ES, FR, IT, PT, EL, HU, PL, BG, RO) to be distributed during events attended by project partners in order to raise awareness about the LIVESEED project (IFOAM-EU, RSR).
At least 5 booklets (approx. 8-16 pages aimed at a range of stakeholders) will be published on the LIVESEED website, and translated into different languages. One of them will be on: How to implement organic seed regulation at the national level to stimulate their production (WP1).
FiBL-CH with the support of IFOAM EU will develop a data management plan (DMP) and policy for all data produced in the scope of LIVESEED within the first 6 months to allow high transparency. A data base will be installed on the LIVESEED homepage (WP5). In order to make data findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable (FAIR), the DMP will include instruction on data handling during and after the project, which data set need to be collected, which methodology and standards / controls are used, and which data will be shared among LIVESEED or become open access. Together with the stored data set, information will include metadata about authors and reference, data set description, a protocol on data sharing, data archiving and data preservation. All publications of LIVESEED will be proof-read by FiBL-CH or IFOAM EU to ensure the quality and coherence of the publications.
A summary report of the workshop at the special LIVESEED & ECO-PB Organic Breeders Day on 21st February 2018 at University of Kassel, Witzenhausen, Germany, written by LBI, that summarises the discussions and outcomes of the group sessions on system based breeding. This deliverable is based on former M3.3.
At least 5 booklets (approx. 8-16 pages aimed at a range of stakeholders) will be published on the LIVESEED website, and translated into different languages. One of them will be on Success stories on Organic seed production (WP2)
The aim of this task is to understand the reasons for market failure on organic seed markets and identify ways to overcome it, by describing and modelling the decision-making behaviour of operators connected either directly or indirectly to organic seed markets, including organic and conventional breeders, seed producers, farmers, food producers, traders and consumers. Three crop case studies will focus on a selected crop in the category of vegetables or fruit (led by FIBL-CH), cereals (led by UNIVPM) and forage crops (led by ORC). The selection will consider different aspects that are of varying importance in the different crops: use of local and/or international markets, functioning and failing supply chains, farmer-driven, commercial and community-based seed business models and farm saved seed based on the outcomes of T1.1 and T4.1. A potential case could, for example, centre on the organic tomato market in a region of Europe. Additional criteria include data availability, the presence of different forms of market interactions, use of less widely grown cultivars, reliance on organic multiplication of conventionally bred cultivars and the presence of derogations. The case studies will at first lead to a description of supply chain structure and business practises in the respective crop markets, including existing examples of food retailer/wholesalers that have actively encouraged the use of organic seed (e.g. organic potatoes in NL). For each case small stakeholder advisory group of project partners (including business partners of the consortium) will be established by the responsible partner.
A report covering 4 cross-visits explaining their programs, the participants, the methodologies applied, the learning outcomes, and their impact. The report will deal with the network building capacity of our approach and reflect on the methodology to provide recommendations for future uses.
A report exploring the breeding gaps for White lupin (CREA), T3.4.2: Brassicas (BNN), T3.4.3: Apple (AEG), T3.4.4: Winter wheat (KU), T.3.4.5 Tomato: (UVP) and key factors for strengthening small breeding initiatives.
The report will provide better understanding of the values and preferences associated with organic seed use and bottlenecks in the organic seed market and breeding. It will be fed with the following: A mapping of normative values in the literature and in private and governmental standards in the EU and other parts of the world will be carried out by ORC. The value-map will cover both the requirement for use of organic seed as well as the specific organic breeding initiatives. The views of project partners and the status quo analysis in WP1 will also be considered. This mapping exercise will form the basis for consultation, using up to 60 expert interviews (including seed producers, seed traders, breeders, organic organisations and regulators) in BE, BU, DE, DK, ES, FR, GR, HU, IT, LV, NL, PL, UK and CH. The consultation will establish the importance of specific values of organic seed to various stakeholders and their preference regarding the use of organic seed as well as bottlenecks in the organic seed markets. The selection of experts will be developed in collaboration with T4.2 with input from project partners, based on guidance provided. Partners of the respective countries will carry out face-to face or phone interviews and report back on the results, using an interview guide developed by ORC. Small workshops for example at existing organic events (such as European and national organic congresses) might also be used. The consultation will be carried out in close collaboration with WP1.1 and WP6.2 (Stakeholder Platform) and analysis will consider farmers’ view gathered in T1.1.3.
Political bottlenecks are obstacles at the level of the competent authorities that hamper the implementation of the rules on organic seed within the organic regulation (EG 834/2007) and in the implementing rules (889/2008). The report will be compiled based on information from several subtasks: national visits and country reports, T1.3.1. contacts with database managers and competent authority, publications ECO-PB /Solibam, status quo analysis from LIVESEED of EU Member States, seed suppliers survey, farmers survey, database survey and further literature. Based on the identified bottlenecks and the information provided in 2018/848 the report discusses and concluded what measures should be included in the delegated acts to avoid/reduce the identified bottlenecks/obstacles for a more harmonized implementation of the new regulation. This deliverable is replacing former M1.9.
A synthetic report to contribute to the future negotiations with stakeholders and policy-makers for the delegated act of the new organic regulation with respect to OHM. This report will propose a proof-of-concept of: (i) different possible tools for characterisation of OHM, regarding constitution, traceability, and description, (ii) a tentative swot analysis of each tool based on experience with the temporary experiment 2014/150/EU (Milestone M2.8) and on stakeholder inputs; (iii) a proposed decision tree to forecast scenarios of application of these tools to particular cases.
