Extractions: FiBL FiBL News (10.06.2004) The book A Guide to Successful Organic Marketing Initiatives is based on the experiences of many active Organic Marketing Initiatives both successful and less successful which were analysed within the European research project OMIaRD in 19 European countries, both within and outside the EU. To facilitate successful marketing of organic products, the book sets out the main challenges of the market and policy environment as well as the key management factors. It highlights that in different stages of development different priorities and marketing activities are relevant. The guide is written for farmers, advisors, processors and everyone else involved in marketing and rural development who has an interest in the creation or further development of successful organic marketing initiatives. Further Information top (07.06.2004) The FiBL family has a new member. FiBL Austria was founded on 12 May 2004 by a group of Austrian organic producers, consultants and scientists. With its other branches in Switzerland and Germany, the FiBL family now covers the entire German-speaking region. Work in Austria will concentrate at first upon national and international knowledge transfer, as well as animal health. The launch is supported by one salaried member of staff and several freelancers. Further Information top (07.06.2004) At a recent conference in Berlin, Germany, the issue of organic data collection and processing and possibilities of improvements was discussed. It became obvious that the relevant authorities are highly interested in collecting and processing of statistical data on organic farming but that there is a great need for harmonisation of data collection - both on a national and on a European level. The event had been organised by the project European Information systems for Organic Markets (EISFOM), funded by the European Commission.

Extractions: Under the thematic priority 'Food Quality and Safety' the European Commission is funding an Integrated Project called 'QualityLowInputFood'. It aims to improve quality, ensure safety and enhance productivity in organic food supply chains in Europe. Over the next five years, the project will receive 18 million EUR to carry out research across the food chain, from fork to farm. The focus will be on farm-based research in cereals, vegetables, dairy, poultry and pork production. For example, agronomists will test different management strategies for improvements in soil fertility and control of disease, weeds and pests to improve yields of high quality. Livestock experts will assess how improved husbandry methods and feeding regimes can improve the nutritional quality of organic milk.

Extractions: email: sustainable.agriculture@uvm.edu The Center for Sustainable Agriculture was established in 1994 as a unit within the University of Vermont to integrate university and community expertise to promote sustainable farming systems throughout Vermont and the region. Our programs are collaborative efforts that always involve farmers, the University, and other organizations. Many people want to farm in Vermont, but finding a place to do it can be challenging. Land Link Vermont, coordinated by Deb Heleba, addresses the obstacles farmers face in securing and transferring land. The program manages a matching service that connects new-entry and transitioning farmers with retiring farmers and non-farming landowners. Land Link also offers workshops, publications, and consultations that provide information about farmland tenure options, inter-generational transfer of farms, and farm management. To assure a bright future for agriculture in Vermont, it is critical that we address the special needs of beginning farmers. The Center is a founding member of the Vermont New Farmer Network, which helps new farmers succeed by enhancing their access to land, capital, markets and production skills. The Center facilitates collaboration among the Network's members, and guides new farmers to the resources they need.

Organic agriculture is a type of agriculture system that precludes the use of pesticides entirely. 'Organic' is a labeling term that denotes that food products have been grown and processed according to specific production standards. Organic food is produced without using conventional pesticides; petroleum-based fertilizers or sewage sludge-based fertilizers; genetic-engineering; or radiation. It entails the utilization of the techniques described in the above sections. For more information about organic agriculture go to: What Organically Grown Means , USEPA This web page defines organic agriculture and provides links to a number to federal sites about the national organic standards. http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/food/organics.htm What do you mean Organic? MDA Organic is a guarantee to consumers about how an agricultural food or fiber product was grown and handled before it reached the consumer. It is also a set of guidelines to farmers that grow plants and animals, processors and handlers who turn it into the food or clothing product consumers buy. http://www.mda.state.mn.us/esap/organic/whatdoyoumean.htm
