Network on Organic Vegetable Growing
Project
Project code: 2803OE569
Contract period: 01.07.2004
- 31.03.2007
Budget: 150,375 Euro
Purpose of research: Networks and research co-ordination
The project aimed at improving the information flow between trial activities, research and advisory services and thus to allow growers unlimited access to the research results. The main result of the subproject Guidelines is the manual Planung, Anlage und Auswertung von Versuchen im ökologischen Gemüsebau (Design, Implementation and Evaluation of Trials in Organic Vegetable Growing), which is a basic guideline to standardize trial results. In the subproject 'Trial Overview' an extensive overview on the trials from 1994 to 2004 has been compiled.
In the subproject Network the tool focus-groups has been established. It supports a targeted and flexible co-operation among researchers, advisors and growers. In addition an internet tool has been developed on a frequently used data base for advisors. It offers researchers a communication platform comparable to an intranet. In the subproject Workshops three workshops have been accomplished to support networking and information exchange, partly including growers and advisors. In the subproject Information Flow all test results from 2005 onwards have been entered into the above mentioned data base for advisors. Now they are easily accessible and thematically arranged for all interested people. Furthermore the researchers have the possibility to request expert support for compilation of research results for publication in growers' magazines.
