Projektbeschreibung
Ein Netzwerk für den biologischen Obstanbau in der EU schaffen
Der biologische Landbau ist ein schnell wachsender Bereich in der europäischen Landwirtschaft, obwohl immer mehr Importe von außerhalb der EU den Wettbewerb erschweren. Manche Anbauer von biologischem Obst stellen sich der Herausforderung und entwickeln Strategien, um weiterhin preiswert zu bleiben. Das Problem ist, dass die angewandten Methoden und das gewonnene Wissen lokal bekannt sind und selten zwischen Anbauern in der EU ausgetauscht werden. Das EU-finanzierte Projekt BIOFRUITNsET schafft ein Netzwerk, das auf die Zusammenstellung und Synthese bestehender lokaler und wissenschaftlicher Verfahren zu verbesserten biologischen Obstanbausystemen abzielt. Das oberste Ziel des Projekts ist es, EU-Anbauern bewährte Verfahren allgemein verfügbar zu machen. Die innovative Plattform wird die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der EU in der biologischen Landwirtschaft erhöhen.
Ziel
The EU is the leading region for the production of organic fruits, with a rapidly expanding production and a demand for organic products which grows every year. However, at the same time, the amount and value of organic imports from outside the EU is increasing. For organic fruit farmers in the EU this poses a challenge to succeed in an increasingly competitive market. In addition, organic fruit growing is a very demanding farming activity. This is because, the sector faces specific problems that cannot be solved using conventional approaches based on the use of synthetics substances. As organic fruit growers cannot rely on synthetic inputs, many of them have, on a local level, developed competitive strategies to improve plant health. Moreover, there is considerable research on improving organic fruit growing systems. The problem, however, is that this knowledge is not easily accessible to farmers all over Europe and remains either locally known or only available in the scientific sphere.
The sector is in need of a network focused on organic fruit production that bridges the gap between science and practice and makes locally found solutions available to other fruit growers in Europe. Therefore, the specific objectives of BioFruitNet are: 1) Collect and synthesize existing knowledge ready for practise, 2) Create a stable European innovation network, 3) Strengthen established networks, 4) Widely distribute solutions, 5) Extend the Organic Farm Knowledge Platform. To achieve these objectives, we will first carry a thorough mapping exercise to find relevant networks at national level in partner countries and beyond (WP1). Then, compile all existing practical and scientific knowledge relevant to organic fruit farmers (WP2) and select the best practices (WP3). We will then focus on adapting and translating all best practices in an easy-to-understand format like practice abstracts (WP4) and disseminate the information through high impact channels (WP5).
