Project code: 2806OE211
Contract period: 17.11.2006 - 30.04.2009
Budget: 82,232 Euro
Purpose of research: Public relations

With the project multifaceted and under high effort acquired research results on organic farming were conveyed to a large circle of businessmen and farmers in the organic food industry. Especially the research results of the organic farming program of the German confederation were taken into account. To that aim the network of associations for organic food production with its regional organisations and advisers were used. They know the needs of the target groups and have chosen, edited and presented the research results accordingly. With the 769 events on knowledge transfer that have taken place within two year 15000 producers and businesses could be reached all over Germany. The majority of events was designed for the farmers, a smaller part for retailer and processor. The responsible body in the regions for the events were Bioland, Biopark, Demeter, Naturland, GÄA BNN and SÖL. The Association of Organic Food Producers and Traders coordinated and evaluated the events. This Association gave advice to the local organizers for application and execution of their program. With this project high quality events on knowledge transfer could be implemented in the regions. In the scope of the evaluation of the project the events were evaluated with good or very good by the participants.
