ORC’s annual Organic Producers' Conference is the event where organic and other producers interested in ecological approaches to sustainable food production come together with researchers and advisers to share ideas on making agriculture perform better, for businesses and society.

This conference provided the opportunity to hear about and debate new ideas that are already being investigated, as well as to get together with like-minded people to develop new ideas for projects to help you move forward.

The second project meeting of the TILMAN-ORG project took place during the Organic Producers' conference, and first project results were presented in a workshop.
