| Seven different European countries are participating in a transnational project SUREVEG (Strip-cropping and recycling of waste for biodiverse and resoURce-Efficient intensive VEGetable production). SUREVEG focuses on developing and implementing new diversified, intensive organic cropping systems using strip-cropping and fertility strategies from plant-based fertilizers for improved resilience, system sustainability, local nutrient recycling and soil carbon storage. This study focuses on providing references concerning benefits and drawbacks of strip-cropping and plant residues for soil fertility in field vegetable production at medium sized organic farms. Specifically to identify local stakeholders’ knowledge and develop ideas in an iterative approach on... |

| For organic farming systems, the challenge is to become more specific in practices to maintain high standards in sustainability. Soil processes need to be clearly understood if rotations and manure applications are to become more precise. Simulation models like the NDICEA model help in the design and maintenance of these farming systems. These models play a key-role in the design of organic precision farming. The NDICEA model has been calibrated for a number of long-term crop rotation experiments. Recently, the model was validated using research data from more than 35 organic farms all over the country. The model is used to calculate soil-specific mineralization rates in precision applications. In a new easy-to-use application, it was developed to... |

| In recent years, in the Netherlands, the organic sector gained much experience with a partnership focusing on innovations. Industry, knowledge institutions and government worked closely together within a demand-driven context. The partnership is characterised by a high degree of active participation. Practice and research participated actively and contributed to the development. The aim of the partnership is to contribute to growth, innovation and the strengthening of the sector. In the participatory development of the organic sector five elements appear to play a key role: ownership, heterogeneity, sharing knowledge and experience, value driven and a system approach. It is recommended to identify the five key elements in each research based on a... |
