KÖLBW: Become part of the ÖkoNetzBW! Networking farms among themselves and with each other is the main goal of the new project "Network Demobetriebe ökologischer Landbau Baden-Württemberg". The Agricultural Technology Center (LTZ) Augustenberg is looking for organic farms that are willing to engage as partners in the network and become a platform for discussions and events with professional colleagues* and other professionals. The promotion and expansion of organic agriculture is part of the key issues paper of the state government and a building block of the action plan 'Bio aus Baden-Württemberg'. In the ÖkoNetz, practical topics of organic farming and conversion are worked on by and with farmers*. A special focus is here on the communication between the farmers*innen, this is created by "farmer to farmer - talks", as a platform for active dialogue and exchange.
