OrganicAdviceNetwork Cross Visits consists of a cross-border exchange with advisors from the same agricultural sector. They are organised over 2-3 days and held in different European countries.
Aligned with the EU's target of achieving 25% organic farmland by 2030, as part of the Farm to Fork Strategy, the OrganicAdviceNetwork project addresses the urgent need for skilled advisors in organic farming.
Its first objective is to create and animate a diverse network of organic advisors throughout the 27 EU Member States and 7 other European countries.
Our network welcomes experienced organic advisory services and advisors, but also conventional advisors and young graduates and newcomers willing to acquire skills in organic advice.
The project will ensure the animation of the network through various in-person and online opportunities for knowledge exchange and training. As part of the in-person exchange, 30 Cross Visits across five geographical zones will be organized: 20 Cross Visits for the arable and ruminant sectors, and 10 for the vegetable, fruit and viticulture sectors.
Do you want to connect with peers from nearby regions and exchange valuable insights?
The OrganicAdviceNetwork is organising several cross visits in 2025, which will provide unique opportunities for new and experienced organic advisors to meet, exchange, get insights, and learn from their peers in different countries across Europe. These interactions will be vital in building a cohesive and collaborative network.
Registrations are open, make sure to register here.
The OrganicAdviceNetwork aims to build a strong Europe-wide community of advisors, inspiring and empowering them to support the transition to organic farming through enhanced knowledge, innovative advisory methods, and strategic policy recommendations. Explore more and join the Network.
