Organic farming of line mussels makes a significant footprint in the development of the Danish Aquaculture sector, targeting 10 percent of the production being organic by 2018.

Digital potential, greater efficiency in using eco-systems and bottom up processes in knowledge sharing were some of the topics discussed at the workshop regarding the future of European agricultural research, organised in June 2015 by the European Commission. A report with the main outcomes from the workshop has now been published.

The scientific journal Sustainable Agriculture Research has dedicated its August issue to display the proceedings from the OECD-supported conference organised by ICROFS, the US Department of Agriculture and the Organic Management Systems Group of American Society of Agronomy.

The workshop will adress the advances and challenges in the dairy sector (sheep, goats, cattle) in a multidisciplinary & multi actor approach to define strategies to improve profitability in low input and organic dairy systems.

CORE Organic coordinator Ulla Sonne Bertelsen from ICROFS has contributed to the latest issue of Agrinnovation, DG AGRI’s yearly magazine. Read about CORE Organic's goal of making organic research results usable in practice.
