SLU Centre for Organic Food and Farming: Nordic-Baltic scientific conference

Organics as a response to the urgent need for resilient food systems

Thakshila Priyadarshani Dissanayake, a student of the ISFF, attends to her organic garden outside her mother's home in Badulla, Sri Lanka

At this conference we explore how organics and its innovative methods can contribute to the need for increased resilience in the food system, from farm to fork and from local to global level. What challenges lie ahead? How can organic practices from farm to fork further strengthen its own robustness as well as having impact in a larger context?  All dimensions of resilience within the food landscape – ecological, social and economic – will be addressed. Research relevant for organic food and farming should be in line with the principles of organic agriculture as defined by IFOAM.

The conference aims to share and discuss recent research outcomes, relevant for how organic food and farming can enhance food system resilience. With focus on the Nordic-Baltic region, which shares common conditions for food production and consumption, the conference also aims to strengthen networks among researchers – especially from the young upcoming generation – and provide a platform for translating research findings into policy action. We invite researchers, stakeholders and policymakers to join us in shaping a resilient future for organic food and farming.
