WHO WE ARE

We aim to contribute to a sustainable increase in yields in organic farming systems

The OrganicYieldsUP supports organic and agroecological farming systems across Europe by addressing key challenges such as yield stability and developing technical solutions to improve the performance of organic crop rotations. More broadly, the project tackles knowledge fragmentation and the social and technical lock-ins that hinder yield improvements at both regional and EU levels.

The project builds on data from 11 long-term trials led by top research institutes and universities throughout Europe. This is complemented by on-farm monitoring, insights from lighthouse farms, and the active participation of key stakeholders in organic value chains. Organic farmers play a prominent role, working alongside researchers and practitioners to strengthen the resilience and productivity of organic arable cropping systems.
