Technology Platform Organics - TP Organics

The European Union and global agriculture face major challenges like climate change, loss of biodiversity, food security, and depopulation of rural areas.

The research Technology Platform Organics, which was launched in December 2008, outlines in its first major publication, the Organic Research Vision 2025, the numerous ways in which organic food production can significantly contribute to solving these problems.

In the Strategic Research Agenda published early 2010, three strategic themes with the objective of research supporting the development of the organic industry are presented in detail: 1) strengthening rural regions; 2) increasing organic food production to ensure food security and to ensure a stable eco-system; and 3) improving food production and quality with the aim of achieving healthy nutrition.
