Boosting Innovation in Organic Greenhouses via Stronger Networks
Kontext
BIOGREENET is a European initiative dedicated to strengthening organic greenhouse production by bridging knowledge gaps, fostering innovation, and empowering producers and advisors. Through digital platforms, best practice dissemination and stakeholder collaboration, the project supports sustainable and competitive greenhouse systems across and beyond the European Union.
Objectives
- Improving knowledge access
Providing practical, accessible information and training to help producers overcome environmental and socioeconomic challenges. - Promoting digitalisation
Encouraging the use of digital tools and practices to improve greenhouse efficiency. - Supporting adoption of innovations
Offering technical and economic guidance to overcome barriers to implementing organic practices. - Strengthening collaboration
Facilitating knowledge sharing and cooperation among producers, advisors, researchers and policymakers. - Stakeholder support
Involving key actors to ensure effective implementation and support for organic practices. - Strengthening AKIS
Reinforce local and EU-wide Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS) through integrated and inclusive actions.
Activities
BIOGREENET uses a practical, transdisciplinary approach to gather, evaluate, adapt, and disseminate best practices in organic greenhouse production. The project strengthens knowledge exchange between farmers, advisors, researchers, and policymakers, promoting more resilient and competitive systems through digitalisation and collaboration. Under the guidance of local project partners the collected knowledge is subjected to a technical and social, economic as well as environmental cost-benefit assessment that directly involves practitioners. The most relevant ones are then further developed into practical materials. Over 3,000 producers and advisors engage via digital platforms and workshops to support the adoption of the collected best organic practices in greenhouse production.
