Core organic II
The European transnational research cooperation project, the ERA-net named CORE Organic II, consists of a network of 26 partners from 21 European countries. The main aim of CORE Organic II is to agree on common research priorities and to select transnational research projects to be funded by the partners.
The ERA-net started in March 2010 and runs for three years. It will launch at least two transnational calls, initiate research projects organize project monitoring and dissemination of results, and consider funding models.
Organic agriculture and food markets have grown considerably and organic agriculture addresses important challenges of European agriculture, such as sustainable production of high quality food, reducing dependency on high energy inputs, improving environmental and nature conservation, climate change adaptation, animal welfare and rural livelihoods.
