OrganicYieldsUP has gathered partners who are leaders in their relevant domains.

The project includes 17 partners, with 10 being research institutes, five of which also provide farm advisory services. Two partners, FiBL-EU and IFOAM-EU are umbrella organizations for the organic farming sector.

OrganicYieldsUP also collaborates with the University of Aarhus for access to their organic field trials. Our extensive research infrastructure includes sites for testing, experimentation, and demonstrations.
