ORGANICYIELDSUP
OrganicYieldsUP project will create a network across 11 regions in Europe, each with different climates and soils. It will bring together scientists and farmers to discuss ways to increase organic yields. The project will also make recommendations for future research and EU policies related to organic farming.
The project will share its insights and recommendations widely, helping organic and conventional farmers, and those considering switching to organic farming. This initiative aims to create a more sustainable and productive future for organic farming, benefiting everyone from policymakers to consumers.
The main challenge is closing the income gap between organic and conventional farming, which affects the economic competitiveness and strength of the organic sector.
While efforts are being made to improve yields through holistic methods, such as better soil fertility and nutrient management, there is still a need for greater knowledge sharing and training across Europe to effectively address this issue.
