Work areas

FiBL Germany offers scientific services for organic farming, especially at the interface between research and practice. We can call on a team of scientific staff from a wide variety of disciplines such as agricultural sciences, horticulture, nutritional science, biology, food technology and business administration. Over time, a range of disciplines emerged in which we accumulated a substantial amount of specialist knowledge and built vast networks. The activities in our projects often comprise several target groups, among them farmers, agronomists, consumers, processors and plant breeders.

The current focus of our work is on the Betriebsmittelliste (i.e. the list of permitted resources for organic farming), Animal Welfare, the FiBL Academy with the Öko-Feldtage (i.e. organic field days), Sustainable farming systems, Value chains and Out-of-home catering. The complete overview of our activities can be found on the right-hand menu.
