FiBL information and service offers
Inputs and feedstuffs in Switzerland
Several different bodies of regulation govern feedstuffs and auxiliary inputs for Swiss organic farming. FiBL has developed a special web-based service providing information on the relevant standards and formal procedures. In addition to cutting-edge information, the website provides for download all relevant forms and the current version of the list of permitted premixes and feed additives. The site has two addresses: www.betriebsmittelliste.ch and www.futtermittel.fibl.org.

Viticulture at FiBL
In 2004, FiBL took over management of the Aargauische Staatstrotte state winery and started to convert its vineyards to organic production methods. “Weingut FiBL”, the FiBL winery, has its own website, where it provides information on its work, wine-tasting events and viticultural research. Moreover, the full range of available wines can be ordered online.
