The new TP Organics Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA)<\/strong>, titled \u201cVision for Future Organic and Agroecological Research: Triple Lead for Sustainable Food Systems\u201d, has been launched at the Organic Innovation Days in Brussels.<\/p>\n

\"new<\/p>\n

The mission of TP Organics<\/strong>, the European Technology Platform (ETP) for Research & Innovation into Organics and Agroecology, is to shape research & innovation for organic and other agroecological approaches that contribute to sustainable and resilient food and farming systems. This is why TP Organics develops research & innovation agendas and roadmaps for research action at EU and national level.<\/p>\n

The new Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda<\/strong><\/a> is was launched on 4 November 2025 at the Organic Innovation Days in Brussels. Developed with the contribution of the OrganicTargets4EU project, in preparation of the upcoming European Competitiveness Fund and the next Horizon Europe programme (2028 -2034). The final project conference of the OrganicTargets4EU project is taking on 5 November, back-to-back with the Organic Innovation Days.<\/p>\n

The SRIA development process was highly participatory and built on contributions from OrganicTargets4EU practice partners and their national networks. FiBL Europe<\/strong>, as scientific coordinator, consolidated inputs from practice partners and stakeholder events such as BIOFACH Science Day and the Organic Innovation Days, identifying three main research themes and 35 research questions in collaboration with IFOAM Organics Europe and TP Organics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Th\u00fcnen Institute<\/strong>, ICROFS<\/strong>, and COISPA<\/strong> contributed expertise respectively on research priorities, policy and funding perspectives, and organic aquaculture. Practice partners from eight focus countries \u2013 Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Hungary, and Romania \u2013 organised national workshops to identify and validate research needs. These national inputs, reviewed collectively during the Organic Innovation Days 2024, ensured that the SRIA reflects Europe\u2019s diverse organic and agroecological contexts.<\/p>\n

Triple wins for sustainability<\/h2>\n

Today\u2019s research and innovation influence tomorrow\u2019s food and farming systems. This is why the new SRIA identifies key research needs for the organic sector, while also addressing broader priorities for the transition towards agroecology. The main part \u201cResearch & Innovation Priorities\u201d is divided into three lead areas, or \u201ctriple wins for sustainability\u201d that make up TP Organics\u02b9 vision:<\/p>\n
