Organic farmers adhere to high standards in producing quality food while protecting the environment. However, organic farming needs to improve continuously to keep meeting its ambitious objectives. The project ‘Replacement of Contentious Inputs in Organic Farming Systems’ (RELACS) will foster the development and adoption of cost-efficient and environmentally safe tools and technologies to: - Reduce the use of copper and mineral oil in plant protection, - Identify sustainable sources for plant nutrition, and - Provide solutions to support livestock health and welfare
