| The workshop was hosted by the European Commission in the Albert Borschette Conference Centre and took place between 9:30am and 5pm. During the workshop, FiBL scientists presented their results of FiBL flagship projects in regard to the contribution of organic agriculture to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These results were discussed first by a scientific panel and finally by a policy panel that put together the most relevant institutions in the field of sustainable development. Moderators • Frank Eyhorn, IFOAM – Organics International/Helvetas • Gurbir Bhullar, Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL), Switzerland Speakers • Urs Niggli, Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL), Switzerland • Beate Huber, Research... |

| This briefing aims to summarise the most relevant recent scientific publications that critically assess the productivity and sustainability of organic farming methods. The rapid increase in the quantity of scientific literature on this topic reflects the growing importance of the sector as well as the need for accurate data and analysis to inform policy makers. There are currently 2.7 million organic-certified farmers (of which 350.000 are in Europe) who have committed to sustainable farming practices. Can organic food and farming be upscaled in order to contribute to sustainable food system and food security? |

| EU agricultural policies have often been formulated from an “orthodox approach”, without directly tackling the issue of markets structure that tend to lower the power and economic welfare of farmers. This situation reveals a need to better comprehend the long-standing dynamics and processes determining the structural position of farmers to find suitable strategies for pushing forward more sustainable food value chain models. Classical and neo-classical economic approaches to the problem often consider Unfair Trade Practices (UTP) as only cyclical phenomenon caused by temporary disequilibrium on the market. Market forces are intended to stabilise prices and to balance power among value chain actors. Such approaches underestimate the role played for example... |
