Title: Strengthening of services to farms and institutional support for the development of Organic Agriculture (SIAB)


1
Kickoff Meeting
  • Strengthening of services to farms and
    institutional support for the development of
    Organic Agriculture (SIAB)
  • April 3rd 2006, Bari, ITALY

2
  • Organic Agriculture represents an option of
    entrepreneurial development to the current
    status, which is in favour of a positive
    situation on European and international markets
  • Consumers increasingly buy organic products and
    are ready to accept a higher price

3
  • Compared to this positive scenario, there is a
    considerable delay of Apulia and southern farms,
    especially with reference to the capability of
    creating effective organizational models aimed at
    marketing that must be regarded as a priority
    that is a qualitative and quantitative stability
    of productions.
  • Current producers, among whom Apulia region and
    Italy are leaders at the international level, are
    not able to meet the demand of organic products.

4
  • However, there are good market areas for new
    countries, such as PAO countries, which could
    back up a possible option for the development of
    the sector in the field of Organic Agriculture
  • This is due to their soil, climatic and agronomic
    characteristics and to the fact that they support
    the design idea aimed to encourage the
    development of Organic Agriculture in the
    Adriatic area through the strengthening of
    services to farms and the institutional support

5
  • Evident positive effects on the environment are
    not to be neglected. They are mainly due to the
    non-use of synthesis chemical products and to the
    encouragement of processes of crop
    diversification and recovery of soil organic
    fertility that are consistent with the choices of
    sustainable development of Adriatic countries.
  • Conditions underpinning the project idea aiming
    at promoting organic agriculture development in
    the Adriatic area through cross-border
    professional training focusing on strengthening
    of sector institutions and organizations.
