Provide your input to EU research & innovation priorities for organic & agroecology by 18 August

The Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda (SRIA) for Organics and Agroecology is a key document setting organic and agroecology’s research and innovation (R&I) needs to help transition EU food and farming systems.  

Make sure your priorities are included and fill in TP Organics’ survey – available in English, French, Spanish, German, Hungarian, Romanian and Italian by 18 August. Please share the survey widely in your networks!  

The provisional themes of the new SRIA are: 

• Elevating organics as the leader in environmental protection and climate change action 
• Building an organic plant-based sector 
• Ensuring ethical and sustainable integration of animals in organic farming systems 
• Providing nutritious and healthy food 
• Organic for everyone: Inclusive and affordable 
• Digital solutions suited for organic and agroecological systems 
• Reviving rural communities through organic farming 

Every 5 years, TP Organics collects the research priorities and needs of the organic and agroecological sector. It then compiles these into the SRIA and uses this for advising the European Commission about its next EU R&I funding programme for research and innovation. Currently, TP Organics is developing a new SRIA for the next EU R&I framework programme succeeding Horizon Europe (FP10) within the OrganicTargets4EU project coordinated by IFOAM Organics Europe. 

Indicate your priorities for future R&I in TP Organics’ survey available in English, French, Spanish, German, Hungarian, Romanian and Italian by 18 August.
