Knowledge synthesis
Lead partners: FiBL and AIAB
The project will synthesise the existing knowledge on organic arable cropping. Different sources will be consulted: scientific papers, grey literature, farmer groups and advisory services. Secondly, the best methods for exchanging this knowledge will be identified based on a survey with farmer groups. These two exercises will serve to select the best already existing advisory tools as well as to develop new ones where needed. Examples of tools include leaflets, information sheets, handbooks, video clips, social media, calculation models and decision trees. These tools could cover many areas, for example: new crop rotations, variety choice, new organic fertilizers, innovative weed control techniques and new techniques for disease and pest control.
