During this year’s Science Day, the activities of the technology platform „TP Organics“ over the last 10 years will be summarized with a review of previous results. The morning part is dedicated to develop a new long-term strategy based on this summary. In the afternoon, research gaps in the field of organic food and farming systems will be assessed in the workshop "100 questions to be addressed by novel organic food and farming systems", which is organized by TIPI, the Technology Innovation Platform of IFOAM – Organics International.
