Register now: European online basic course on organic farming

Logo organic advice network

The overall objective of OrganicAdviceNetwork is to establish an EU-wide network of 1.000 organic advisors from all 27 EU member states and seven other European countries.

The Europe-wide basic course on organic farming is about to start – over 1.500 participants from more than 21 countries have already signed up. Secure your place in the free online course now! FiBL has developed the course and the associated learning platform in collaboration with partners.

The Europe-wide development of the OrganicAdviceNetwork is taking shape. Since early 2024, a network for advisors in organic farming has been established with the aim of sharing knowledge and strengthening expertise in organic consulting. A key milestone is now approaching: on November 13, 2025, a free online basic course will start, introducing the central principles and practices of organic farming. The course is aimed at anyone interested, especially students, young professionals, and less experienced advisors who want to expand their skills in organic farming. The basic course at a glance:

  • Start: November 13, 2025, at 4 p.m.
  • Format: 12 live webinars (recordings available until July 2026)
  • Language: English with German and French subtitles (other languages available in Zoom)
  • Learning format: Flexible and self-paced

During the twelve weeks of learning, renowned experts will guide participants through key thematic modules– covering everything from the fundamentals of organic farming to markets, policy, and certification. In addition to live webinars, forums, chats, and reflection questions provide additional opportunities for exchange and in-depth discussion. The basic course is facilitated by experienced moderators from FiBL Germany, FiBL Switzerland, and ITAB (France).

The Horizon Europe project OrganicAdviceNetwork also offers other opportunities for exchange. Within the online-networks, organic advisors from across Europe can connect and share experiences. Cross-visits consist of cross-border exchanges with advisors working in the same agricultural field and include two- to three-day visits to innovative organic farms in other European countries. Starting in spring 2026, online learning paths for experienced advisors will also be launched, covering topics such as arable farming, animal husbandry, vegetable, fruit, and wine production, as well as soft skills. OrganicAdviceNetwork is funded by the European Union and the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research, and Innovation.
