Data Collection on Organic Farming '

Project


Project code: 2806OE105
Contract period: 01.01.2008 - 30.04.2010
Budget: 281,113 Euro
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment

The project aims to create a data collection on organic farming. The data collection is to provide information for farm management, which are both complex planning considerations as well as possible rough. The project will support the transfer of current knowledge on organic farming in practice and to strengthen the competitiveness of organic farms contribute. The existing data should be merged and systematically raised to a uniform quality and level of aggregation. In consultation with experts should be rendered to production processes and the representation can be defined. Existing plan data is to be seen. Data gaps should be closed by means of surveys and expert assessments. The data are largely based database records and be prepared for both a print product, as well as an electronic spreadsheet program. Under the Federal Organic Farming Scheme projects for applied research for organic farming should be encouraged. In the projects, many results are developed that can be used for planning purposes. Also be conducted at state institutes, chambers of agriculture, colleges and universities, numerous studies, the results can also be used for planning and calculation documents. For the pooling and transfer of knowledge that results in the practice of organic farming to the information from the various reports will be made compatible with each other, so that they respect the dimensions, the inclusiveness, the type of collection and data quality are more readable and usable. The data collection 'Organic Farming' is intended to represent the diverse organic farming and more sophisticated than the existing data collections by the data pool is enlarged and differentiated by location, production targets, quality and farming practices and more production will be treated. The descriptive results of the project will be immediately processed for use in the printed version of a KTBL data collection. The process parameters are to be included in the KTBL databases for time and expense elements. The results of calculations based thereon should also be prepared for printing in tabular form.
