FiBL Germany - Scientific Service for Organic Agriculture

Video

FiBL Germany is organised as a registered non-profit association and offers scientific expertise on current issues in organic agriculture and food industry. It conducts interdisciplinary and practice-oriented research together with farmers and experts from science and industry. This way, knowledge from research is swiftly transferred into practice.

FiBL currently has four focus areas in Germany

  • Input List for Organic Production in Germany: Experts check whether inputs meet all requirements for organic farming in Germany. Positively assessed commercial products are published in the Input List.
  • FiBL Academy: The training and further education of junior staff, advisory and control personnel, and practitioners in the organic food industry is realized through the FiBL Academy.
  • The Organic Field Days are a new platform on which farmers can network and obtain comprehensive information about innovations in organic farming. The trade fair offers new products, machine demonstrations, and a lecture and cultural programme.
  • Rural Areas and Value Chains: projects and services relating to the topic of "developing regional value chains" - from market analyses, networking of stakeholders and the conceptual design of marketing strategies to the active establishment of regional value chains.

A complete overview of the work areas can be found under the heading Work Areas.
