WHO WE ARE
The OrganicYieldsUP supports organic and agroecological farming systems across Europe by addressing key challenges such as yield stability and developing technical solutions to improve the performance of organic crop rotations. More broadly, the project tackles knowledge fragmentation and the social and technical lock-ins that hinder yield improvements at both regional and EU levels.
The project builds on data from 11 long-term trials led by top research institutes and universities throughout Europe. This is complemented by on-farm monitoring, insights from lighthouse farms, and the active participation of key stakeholders in organic value chains. Organic farmers play a prominent role, working alongside researchers and practitioners to strengthen the resilience and productivity of organic arable cropping systems.
We collect and organise data on organic yields from 11 regions across Europe to better understand what influences performance and how improvements can be made in context-specific, practical ways.
By evaluating approaches through long-term trials, lighthoue farms and practitioners' experience, we identify sustainable methods to improve yields in the short and medium term.
