The Organic Arable Farming Days on 8 and 9 June 2022 drew several hundred specialists to Holziken, canton of Aargau. In addition to farming topics such as crop nutrient supply, climate change have been discussed.
Agroscope researchers have been well represented among the speakers at the Organic Arable Farming Days. They gave talks on high-protein fodder plants, getting the right plant mix in arable farming, drought-resistant fodder-plant varieties, variety trials with spelt and wheat, and cultivating beans, peas, soybeans, lentils and lupin as well as maize and sorghum for human nutrition.
Over a dozen stations where the field crop in question could be seen and posters on the crop have been available were set up on the farm where the conference was taking place. The conference brought together experts from the entire value chain, in addition to those from the organic sector.
