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.

CORE Organic Cofund launches third transnational call for research project proposals based on national funds from participating countries. The CORE Organic consortium consists of 13 partners from 13 countries, which have committed budget of ca. 5 million €. 

The new CORE Organic Cofund research call on 'Organic farming systems for improved mixed plant and animal production' addresses the following three sub-topics:

Sub-topic 1: Robust and resilient mixed animal farming systems
Sub-topic 2: Support for robust and resilient crop production systems
Sub-topic 3: Eco-efficient production and use of animal feed at local level

The call follows a 1-step competitive selection procedure and closing date for submission of full proposals is planned for 8 March 2021, 11 am CET via https://www.submission-coreorg...

More information about the Third Call 2021 will be provided during the CORE Organic Webinar on 19 January 2021, 10.00-11.30 am CET.
