OK-Net Arable – Organic Knowledge Network Arable
The project OK-Net Arable – Organic Knowledge Network Arable – promoted the exchange of knowledge among farmers, farm advisers and scientists with the aim to increase productivity and quality in organic arable cropping all over Europe.
OK-Net Arable was coordinated by IFOAM Organics Europe and involved 19 partners from 12 countries all over Europe. The project was financed by Horizon 2020.
In the framework of the OK-Net Arable project the platform Organic Farm Knowledge was set up and it is currently developed further in the OK-Net EcoFeed project.
OK-Net Arable had three objectives:
- to synthesize the scientific and practical knowledge available about organic arable farming and identify the best methodologies for exchanging this knowledge,
- to create a European network of farmers to exchange experiences and discuss the advisory material selected by the project
- to establish an online platform offering evidence-based advisory material as well as facilitating farmer-to-farmer learning.
