Extended work for organic farming
The aim of the project is to increase the production of organic products in Norway, through giving organic producers access to qualified expertise and extention service.
The main part of NORSØK's work in the project is aimed at agricultural advisers in Norwegian Agricultural Extension Service (NLR). The project consists of various sub-projects, of which NORSØK participates in six of them: Transfer of knowledge to advisers in NLR, develop course material for use in the extension work, establish a new advisory service for eco-milk producers, conduct field trials and R&D work, disseminate knowledge from international research and increase the knowledge about soils and soil culture.
