Description
This Horizon Europe Coordination and Support Action (CSA) aims to enhance the evidence base for the sustainability impacts of the EU organic farming sector by supporting improved, harmonized data collection and analysis. Projects funded under this call are expected to map and evaluate existing data tools and approaches, facilitate exchange of best practices, assess leveraging certification body data, and develop recommendations for effective governance of data collection. The grant also supports training and networking for organic farmers and value chain actors to build capacity for data collection and reporting, addressing both crop and livestock systems. The action aligns with the EU Action Plan for Organic Production and broader EU sustainability objectives.
