ERA-NET CORE Organic – 15 Year Anniversary ERA-NET CORE Organic ICROFS - Coordination of European Transnational Research in Organic Food and Farming Systems 1 -CO I - 1 call, 8 projects, 8. 3 M Euro 2 -CO II - 3 calls, 14 projects, 14. 9 M Euro 3 -CO Plus - 1 call, 11 projects, 11 M Euro, 4 -CO Cofund - 1 call, 12 projects, 14 M Euro (IFD/GUDP)
CORE Organic Cofund consortium The ERA-NET CORE Organic Cofund is a consortium of 27 public funding bodies from 19 European countries/regions. The CO Cofund is the continuation of the CORE Organic I, II and Plus. In CO Cofund 7 selected projects with Danish partners are supported through Innovation Fund Denmark/ GUDP: Grazy. Dai. Sy (DK) POWER (DK) Sure. Veg (DK) Free. Birds (SE) Green. Resilient(IT) Pro. Org (IT) Pro. Refine (NO)

Birds - Optimising the use of the free range as the key to improve organic chicken production (Anja Brinch Riber) Topic 4: Organic food processing concepts and technologies for ensuring food quality, sustainability and consumer confidence • Pro. Org (IT) – Code of Practice for organic food processing (Lilia Ahrne)
Research projects and business plans Business plan as a ‘requirement’ for the research projects in CO Cofund. Consideration of the following questions: • How much are the costs of your production in case you implement your research project? • What are the costs for the Danish farmer? What will mean this on the farm? • If the costs will increase you need to consider will the consumer pay for these benefits? When the project does not generate a revenue and has no direct cost implications there is a need to illustrate the benefit of the scientific knowledge elsewhere
CORE Organic at the BIOFACH 2018 all ‘to go’ and much more…
Concluding remarks • Changes on the level of organic market: new actors, new products, new packaging • New EU Organic Regulation from 1 January 2021 • International agenda and food systems approach (SUSFOOD 2, EC FOOD 2030, UNEP) • From ‘Horizion 2020’ to ‘Horizion Europe’ from 2021 • Investing national funds in order to benefit from the transnational capacities Business plan as beyond the mere project requirement…
