Organic agriculture is considered one of the important development pathways towards more sustainable agriculture and food production. CORE Organic started in 2004 and has been evolving for more than a decade. The CORE Organic partners increased innovation potential, knowledge accessibility, alignment of national research and international outreach in support of the ERA-NET’s objectives. CORE Organic closely monitored the funded projects and offered assistance regarding stakeholder involvement and dissemination in order to secure high impact on the research efforts. CORE Organic Cofund aimed to deliver results that can be used to develop the organic sector throughout Europe and the world and to continue to be a key player in the European Research Area.
