Increasing Organic Farmer Access to Relevant and Practical Research-Based Information

George Kuepper, National Center for Appropriate Technology

The principal objective of this project was to make a greater proportion of relevant and practical research-based information available to organic farmers. Experienced organic farmers were specifically targeted. In the original proposal, NCAT planned to create a quarterly publication featuring abstracts of relevant research gleaned from the literature. Emphasis was to be placed on recent, cutting-edge research on a broad range of topics pertinent to organic production and marketing. NCAT would use the infrastructure of the ATTRA (Appropriate Technology Transfer for Rural Areas) Project to promote and distribute the quarterly to farmers, researchers, Extension agents, and others.
