This report has been produced as part of the Organic knowledge Network Arable (OK-Net Arable) project, which uses an interactive multi-actor approach, bringing practitioners from regional innovation groups together with advisers and scientists. The aim of this report is to provide a description of the farmer innovation groups involved with the project. It covers information about the structure of the farmer innovation groups, the agronomic context, existing knowledge and skills, main challenges faced as well as potential solutions and tools to address these challenges. In total 14 farmer groups involved in the project, located in 10 countries. The groups have similarities in that they have mostly been established with an arable focus and have... |

Background The demand for organically produced food is outstripping the ability of UK farmers to supply it and the majority is imported. Furthermore, there is a major shortfall in home-produced organic cereals and cereal products, including straw. In response to this need, the consequences of increasing the area of organically produced cereal crops on pests, diseases and weeds require evaluation. Furthermore, as the area of organic cereals increases, crops may be grown more in the major cereal production regions. This could have consequences for both the organic producer and farmers growing cereals conventionally. Objectives (i) review the current state of knowledge on the status and distribution of pests, diseases and weeds in organic and... |
