Summary of our inputs in the last years
This working group recognizes organic agriculture as farming system that is generated by an interplay and interdependency of ecological, social, economic and cultural components. We concentrate on the actors within this system, the people, focusing on their relationships with each other as well as with their environment. We aim to understand the actors’ characteristics, knowledge and practices. This understanding shall contribute to the development of organic farming. Here you can find a selection of inputs from the last years.
