Acronym: LOVEt

LOVEt (Leonardo Organic Vocational Education and training) is a European project in the framework of the Leonardo da Vinci Partnership program. The project partners includs 15 institutions from the European Union.

The main aim of the project is to create a platform for communication between science and practice in the organic food system. The project includs existing networks of stakeholders in participating European countries in order to identify main communication problems and, what is more, identification of main problems/gaps in knowledge in the area of organic farming in Europe (in order to enhance development of this sector in the future).

All partners conduct surveys among the stakeholders (farmers, advisors, processors and traders).
