CORE Organic Cofund launches third research Call on ‘Organic farming systems for improved mixed plant and animal production

The EU has adopted ambitions targets to increase organic production as part of the European Green Deal indicated in the Farm to Fork and Biodiversity Strategies under the objective of 25% of the EU’s agricultural land under organic farming by 2030. This high target entails specific knowledge and research needs that can be sustained through new and innovative solutions from the organic sector
