Background

The 3rd International Scientific Conference on Organic Agriculture to be held in the Czech Republic follows on from the two scientific conferences held by Bioinstitute within Bioacademy in Lednice na Moravě in 2008 and 2009.

From 2010 Bioacademy has taken on a new concept, focusing on practitioners – farmers. After the establishment of the Czech Technology Platform for Organic Agriculture (CTPOA) its members expressed the need for a regional scientific conference for the region of Central and Eastern Europe.

This conference will be held every other year in cooperation with research institutions involved in organic farming and will be guaranteed by CTPOA.

The first conference to take place outside Lednice will be held at the end of November in Prague, on the premises of the Czech University of Life Sciences, where research and education in the field of organic farming were launched 20 years ago.

The 3rd International Scientific Conference is primarily of importance to new EU member countries and the region of Eastern Europe and the Balkans; nevertheless, contributions from researchers throughout Europe are welcome as long as they are beneficial to our region or for further international cooperation.
