Research networks in organic food and farming
A lot of cooperation across borders takes place in various networks. Some networks are carried out in a European context; others in bilateral collaboration and some are established under the auspice of private organizations.

Eco-AB
The European Consortium for Organic Animal Breeding (Eco-AB)
To work on the development of organic animal breeding an European association with the name: “European Consortium for Organic Animal Breeding” (Eco-AB) will be set up, parallel to the already existing European Consortium for Organic Plant Breeding (Eco-PB).
The goal of Eco-AB is to stimulate organic agriculture through animal breeding directed at the needs of organic farming systems.

Susvar
The main aims of SUSVAR are to ensure stable and acceptable yields of good quality for low-input, especially organic, cereal production in Europe. This will be achieved by developing ways to increase and make use of crop diversity and by establishing methods for selecting varieties, lines and populations with special emphasis on the influence of geno-type-environment interactions. Finally, the network will also establish common appropriate methodology for variety testing.
