IFOAM Organics Europe’s Post

🌾 What are the benefits of #intercropping? 🌿 Scientists and local actors across Europe are joining forces, as part of the co-innovation case studies in the IntercropVALUES project, to develop local and innovative agri-food chains based on intercropping practices. Project partner IFOAM Organics Europe and associate partner Research Institute of Organic Agriculture FiBL explore the benefits of intercropping #organic faba bean and wheat for food production 🔗 Read the full abstract here: https://lnkd.in/dRKjHGqx

Welcome to our golden fields of corn! 🌽 With the help of our ‘Field Potential Index’, we analyze data collected over the years and make  informed decisions about where to sow seeds. This way, we can grow our organic crop efficiently, and work towards creating a food system that's kind to the planet and beneficial for our health. Constantly brimming with progressive ideas, our agronomists and farmers are committed to finding new solutions to further enhance the efficiency and sustainability of our operations. The ultimate goal? To share these advancements for free within the farming community, fostering learning and growth.

An interesting read on the status of cultivated meat (i.e., grown in a bioreactor) and what it will take to make it economically viable. https://lnkd.in/gJpfiS85

What is Food Technology? Food technology is a branch of food science that deals with the production processes that make foods. Early scientific research into food technology concentrated on food preservation. Nicolas Appert's development in 1810 of the canning process was a decisive event. The process wasn't called canning then and Appert did not really know the principle on which his process worked, but canning has had a major impact on food preservation techniques.

"A new study demonstrates the first cost-effective method for producing cultivated meat. The study shows that continuous manufacturing addresses the key challenges of scalability and cost, potentially making cultivated meat accessible to everyday consumers and contributing to a more sustainable and ethical food system. In an extraordinary stride for cellular agriculture, Professor Yaakov Nahmias, founder of Believer Meats, and a multidisciplinary team at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the cultivated meat industry unveiled a pioneering continuous manufacturing process for cultivated meat. This innovation tackles the industry's critical challenges of scalability and cost-effectiveness." #cultivatedmeat #cellbasedprotein

What does organic mean to you? “Organic production is the most sustainable way of farming in terms of environment, nature and our own health. The more we do, the more affordable and accessible it will become.” Sarah Dickins, our chair for the National Organic Conference, believes that a collective approach is the way forward for the sector. Discover how we support each other at our conference next week.

As the grape harvest comes to an end, let's talk about one of the major vine pathogens that has again this year challenged organic producers, grapevine downy mildew. #Viticulture #Innovation #Technology #Sustainability #eDemofarm #PrecisionAgriculture #SustainablePrecisionViticulture #SPV #VTskills #GreenSkills #DigitalSkills #ResilienceSkills #Skills

Organic grown products, such as fruits and vegetables, attract higher prices in the market because they are healthier and safer for consumers and the farming practices are cleaner and more environmentally friendly. As organic fruit and vegetables attract a higher price in the market, this can lead to economically motivated fraud through mislabeling produce as “organic” when they have been grown using synthetic fertilizer. Laboratories need an analytical technique that can differentiate organic and non-organic grown fruit and vegetables: this can be achieved using the nitrogen isotope fingerprints measured using the EA IsoLink IRMS System. #organicfood #foodtesting #thermofisherscientific #fssai #bis #npop

Tritordeum: The 40-Year Journey from Wild Grain to Nutritional Powerhouse In the world of agriculture, the journey from wild grain to cultivated staple can take millennia, but for Tritordeum, a hybrid of wild barley and durum wheat, that timeline has been dramatically compressed to just 40 years.
