Inputs

Organic farmers adhere to high standards in producing quality food while protecting the environment. As a system approach to sustainable agriculture, organic farming aims to effectively manage ecological processes whilst lowering dependence on off-farm inputs. However, organic farming needs to improve continuously to keep meeting its ambitious objectives. RELACS will foster the development and adoption of cost-efficient and environmentally safe tools and technologies to:

• Reduce the use of copper and mineral oil in plant protection,
• Identify sustainable sources for plant nutrition, and
• Provide solutions to support livestock health and welfare.
