Organic Farm Knowledge
The Organic Farm Knowledge platform (https://organic-farmknowledge.org/) provides access to a wide range of tools and resources about organic farming that can help improve production in a European context. It promotes the exchange of knowledge among farmers, farm advisers, and scientists, with the aim of increasing productivity and quality in organic farming. The tools on the platform were selected by or created in various projects and from several institutions. The type of these tools include practice notes, leaflets, videos, decision support systems etc. The toolbox of Organic Farm Knowledge offers the possibility for an arbitrary text search as well as displaying tools by theme, language, issuing organisation, keyword, type, country of origin and year. The videos of Organic Farm Knowledge have been made available on EcoAgTube.
