The majority of the ongoing research in DARCOF concludes at the end of 2004. In order to ensure a continuous Danish research effort on organic farming a new strategy for DARCOF has been undertaken. This strategy is the basis for a new research programme that will run from 2005 to 2010 with a preliminary total budget of 27 million Euro.
During the new research programme, DARCOF aims to:
- Initiate and coordinate research which, based on organic principles, develops integrity and efficiency in the whole organic food chain – from farmer to consumer
- Ensure that organic farming research contribute to a sustainable development of society as a whole
- Ensure scientific quality at a high international level and a optimal utilization of resources spend on research
- Contribute to a strengthened European and international cooperation on research and research training in organic farming and food production
- Ensure relevance and utilization of research by mediation, communication and cooperation between users of research and research groups
Elaborations of these objectives are presented in the strategy and informations on the new research programme will be posted on the DARCOF homepage.
