EUFRAS COFFEE Break: Learn from innovative organic advisory services

EUFRAS Coffee Break – 30 April 2026 | 10:00 (CET) | Zoom platform
Get to know award-winning organic advisory services: LEARN FROM INNOVATIVE ORGANIC ADVISORY SERVICES

EUFRAS in collaboration with Organic Advice Network invites you to join an inspiring online session featuring two outstanding winners of the Innovative Organic Advice Contest 2025.

During this session, participants will gain insight into pioneering advisory approaches and practical experiences from across Europe.

In November 2025, two exceptional advisory services were recognised for their innovation, impact, and forward-thinking methodologies:

Network for Community Supported Agriculture (Germany)

This advisory network supports community-supported agriculture through close collaboration and practical exchange. A team of 24 advisors works across farming, business, legal, and social topics, providing coordinated and timely support to CSA initiatives. Through workshops, on-farm training, and regular meetings, farmers and advisors exchange knowledge, address challenges, and develop practical solutions—particularly in legal and organisational areas. Over the past 13 years, this cooperative approach has strengthened resilient, community-based farming systems across Germany.

GIEE for Organic Low-Carbon Milk – Chamber of Agriculture Normandy (France)

This farmer-led initiative demonstrates how climate-smart dairy innovation can flourish through strong peer-to-peer collaboration. Farmers work collectively to share experiences, test solutions, and disseminate best practices across the network. Their approach integrates practical measures such as local feed production, agroforestry, and improved manure management, alongside a focus on autonomy and resource efficiency. This has resulted in an 11% reduction in emissions over five years, while also enhancing economic resilience, farmer well-being, and providing a replicable model for low-carbon livestock systems across Europe.

What to expect:

• Inspiring advisory approaches and business models

• Practical experiences and key success factors

• Live Q&A with the speakers
