Better utilisation of fish waste in agriculture – strengthening the local collaboration
Get PDFThe paper informs about projects aiming for better utilisation of nutrients, especially from fish sludge from aquaculture. The research institutes Nofima and NORSØK aim to collaborate on this, and a workshop was arranged to share knowledge
Regional clusters of Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation System (AKIS) in Romania
Get PDFClusters help farmers gain funding or technical advice. Regional networks addressing local needs strengthen community cohesion and the organic narrative nationally.
Practical recommendations/results
Farmers in Romania who are organic, are interested or want to convert to organic, should join one the following existing clusters in their region:
Inter-Bio
Cluster Bio Oltenia
Bio Danubius Cluster
Bio Concept Valea Praho-vei Cluster
BioNest Cluster
AKIS should work with communities at the regional level to scale organic, emulating similar initiatives,
e.g., biodistricts in Italy or Living Labs. Bio-districts in Italy or Living Labs

Pflanzenschutzempfehlungen für den Biogemüsebau
No full textEin erfolgreicher Biogemüsebau erfordert wirksame Strategien zur Vorbeugung und Bekämpfung von Krankheiten und Schädlingen. Das aktualisierte Merkblatt liefert praktische Empfehlungen für den nachhaltigen Schutz von 19 Gemüsekulturen – von Salaten und Karotten bis hin zu Basilikum, das erstmals berücksichtigt wird. Es enthält bewährte Massnahmen zur Vorbeugung sowie Bekämpfungsstrategien, die auf neuesten Forschungsergebnissen und Praxiserfahrungen basieren.
Das Merkblatt ergänzt die wöchentlich erscheinende "Gemüse-Info", die während der Anbausaison von Agroscope, FiBL und den kantonalen Gemüsebau-Fachstellen speziell für den Schweizer Biogemüsebau herausgegeben wird. Die grundlegenden Prinzipien des Pflanzenschutzes sind im Merkblatt "Pflanzenschutz im Biogemüsebau" detailliert beschrieben
Bio-based fertilizers typically deliver on either high nutrient release or soil health parameters
No full textIn an 11-month incubation study, we evaluated eleven different bio-based fertilizers: four digestates, two composts, insect frass, struvite, and by-products from animal, medicinal, and plan production and processing. The results revealed a trade-off between high nutrient release and soil health improvements

Grain legumes combined with cover crops secure positive residual N effects in food pro-duction systems
No full textThe global demand for high-quality plant-based food options is increasing, and fresh grain legumes are a great protein-rich alternative that offers environmental, climate, and health benefits. Local production of grain legumes can improve agricultural sustainability in Europe by diversifying crops and reducing the dependence on nitrogen (N) fertilizers due to their capacity to fix atmospheric N, which is particularly relevant for organic crop-ping systems. However, their cultivation remains low especially in Northern Europe. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of harvesting fresh versus mature grain legumes on subsequent crop productivity and soil mineral N in Denmark. The three-year field study was conducted according to organic standards and featured three grain legumes (pea, faba, soybean) harvested both fresh and mature, with and without an undersown ryegrass cover crop. The grain dry matter yields of mature faba bean and pea were 5.1 and 2.0 Mg ha-1 in 2021, and 4.1 and 4.0 Mg ha-1 in 2022, respectively. These yields were generally consistent with organic cultivation in the EU. The edamame soybean variety had a strong biomass production but was challenged in reaching maturity – especially in the first year where wildlife interference forced a late resowing. For both pea and faba bean, there was no impact of harvesting grain legumes fresh or mature on cover crop biomass and N yield, contrary to expectations of fresh harvest benefitting cover crop growth. Wider inter-row spacing allowed sufficient cover crop establishment despite mature legumes. Resowing of soybeans in the first year delayed cover crop growth, while in the second year, mature soybeans unexpectedly promoted higher biomass. The non-legume cover crops retained soil mineral N during winter and resulted in almost twice as high residual N for the following spring barley showing no signs of pre-emptive competition. The residual N effects of the three grain legumes were similar, reaching up to 60 kg N ha-1 when com-bined with cover crops. This will significantly influence the design of sustainable, low-input plant-based food production systems
