Objectives
To create a basic information platform for group certification of small farms that complies with EU regulation no. 2018/848 requirements and harmonized with the certification system of organic farms operating in the country. Including small farms in the country in organic production, concentrating them in groups, preparing plans for the transition to organic production, providing technological knowledge, increasing the economic results of farms, expanding the areas of organic production and the quantities of organic production in the country, creating environmental benefits, you implement the goals of the Green Course, biodiversity and "From field to table" strategies.
Activities
An information platform for the group certification of organic operators has been created, the groups of operators carrying out and certifying organic production activities according to the prepared and adapted innovative technologies of growing various plants will provide public and additional benefits.

1 Practice Abstracts
It is assumed that the following results will be achieved:
1. Cultivation technologies for winter cover crops grown in fallows and summer cover crops grown in fallows and fallows will be developed and improved, helping to solve the problems of soil degradation, biodiversity, GHG gas emissions, and improving the economic results of agricultural entities in solving the problems of soil quality deterioration, nitrogen problems of reducing the use of fertilizers and increasing the yield and quality of production.
1.1 Technologies for the cultivation of intermediate crops have been improved and developed;
1.2 It will be evaluated - the effect of the reduction of GHG emissions, the amount of sequestered carbon, the decrease in the use of fertilizers, the actual economic, agronomic and environmental assessment of farms;
1.3 Practically applicable agrotechnics will be presented, ensuring the increase of CO2 accumulations;
1.4 The actual values of the increase in carbon deposits will be determined;
1.5 The change in the resulting GHG effect due to the inclusion of intermediate crop cultivation in the GHG accounting at the farm level will be tested in practice;
2. The example of demonstration farms will encourage other farms to implement technological innovations faster and thus support and increase the profitability of agricultural activities through more sustainable farming and reducing the impact on the environment.
3. Prepared and distributed information materials for farmers and other interested persons;
4. Dissemination of the project results has been completed.
