On 15 October 2020, the event “How organic breeding adds value to the food chain”, organized by FiBL and BÖLW, will take place online. The get-together calls the attention of European processors, wholesalers and retailers on the importance of organic breeding for the future growth of the organic sector.

Programme

A new survey undertaken by FIBL in the contest of the project “Engagement.Biobreeding Europe” wants to map present breeding activities in Europe to improve networking and exchange among organic breeders.

Feeding of insects offers new possibilities to overcome the protein gap in organic farming. This is what the UE OK-Net EcoFeed project presents through a video (which can be seen at this LINK) .

In early July, Urs Niggli, the previous president of FiBL Europe, handed over management to Beate Huber. FiBL Europe was founded in 2017 to represent its five-member organizations at a European level. It coordinates their joint activities and facilitates cooperation with the institutions of the European Union and its partner organizations at a European level.

The members of the Board of FiBL Europe thanked Urs Niggli for his impressive commitment to FiBL Europe, an institute that has rapidly become a major player in organic farming.
