Organic farming is recognized as a sustainable land use system, promoting fair, healthy and environmentally friendly food production.With growing political support, the European Union (EU) aims to significantly expand organic farming under initiatives such as the Farm to Fork Strategy (F2F) and the Biodiversity Strategy, targeting at least 25% of agricultural land under organic cultivation by 2030.
The major challenge lies in bridging the income gap between organic and conventional farming, which undermines the economic competitiveness and resilience of the organic sector. Despite efforts to improve yields in organic farming through holistic approaches, such as increasing soil fertility and optimized nutrient management, there is still a need for greater knowledge sharing and capacity building in Europe to effectively address this issue.
The project will compile relevant data on yields and the impact of yield-increasing strategies from 11 regions / countries in a structured and harmonised way.
The OrganicYieldsUP will reflect and assess the suitability of yield increasing strategies based on data from experimental and long-term trials, pilot farm networks as well as other scientific studies.
Recommendations will be drawn up for a specific research and innovation roadmap and will provide sound, grounded advice for improving EU regulations on organic farming, as well as the CAP, to increase yields from organic farming.
The project will be communicated through the project website and the communication channels. The results of the project will be disseminated through a variety of formats aimed at the different target groups.
