The seminar of the Nordic Association of Agricultural Scientists
“Organic farming systems as a driver for change” will take place in Bredsten, Denmark on 21-23
August 2013. It will reveal how organic research has contributed, or may contribute to change the
many and serious challenges that need to be faced to protect the environment and to ensure a
satisfactory living for all. Concurrently, the needs for improvement in practical farming systems,
both to support the farmers and to further develop organic farming in a sustainable direction, must
be emphasised. <br><br>The objective of the seminar is to discuss relevant main challenges and how
research and developmental work can be more efficiently directed to solve problems in organic
farming systems. The seminar will be arranged around the following four tracks:<br><br>1. Societal
and economic viability<br>2. Transition to renewable resources<br>3. Nutrient sufficiency and
management in farming systems<br>4. Productivity and sustainable production levels in animal and
crop production<br><br>More information is available from the <a href="http://www.njf.nu/site/seminarRedirect.asp?intSeminarID=461&p=1004"… Association of
