Organic advisors, meet with peers during European cross-visit
Are you an organic advisor? Are you interested in becoming one? Or are you an advisor interested in gaining organic competences? Most importantly, are you interested in exchanging with your peers? This article is for you!
The OrganicAdviceNetwork project will build a strong network of advisors with organic competences. To realise this, the project is 30 organising cross-visits for agricultural advisors to meet, exchange and share their innovative organic farming practices.
The first round of visits starts in 2025. All advisors with or willing to gain organic advice expertise are welcome to join these in-person meetings providing unique network and learning opportunities!
About the cross-visits
The visits will consist of 2 to 3 days of in-person meetings for advisors from the same agricultural sector (i.e., arable, ruminant, vegetable, fruit or viticulture). Each visit will have a specific learning objective related to organic practices and advisory approaches.
In total, 30 cross visits will be organized, with the first round starting in 2025.
All advisors with or willing to gain organic advice expertise are welcome to join these in-person meetings providing unique network and learning opportunities!
Registrations are set to open in March 2025. Register to the OrganicAdviceNetwork’s newsletter to receive updates on the first programmes, registration and other information.
About OrganicAdviceNetwork
The OrganicAdviceNetwork project will create and animate a network of advisors and advisory services for the organic sector across Europe. It will do so via in-person and online trainings and courses on a wide variety or agricultural topics to help conventional advisors or young graduates interested in becoming organic advisors. Organic advisors with different levels of experience will exchange with their peers. The project will also research the finance and business-side of establishing a European network of organic advisory services.
Advisory services from 14 European countries are involved in the project but all types of organic advisors and advisory services willing to join the network and/or attend the trainings are very welcome!
