The overarching project goal is to create and further develop site-specific know-how based on suitable transfer trials, combined with a rapid, efficient and, if possible, loss-free transfer of the information gained to consultants and farmers.

The following prerequisites are necessary to achieve this central project goal:

* Establishment and management of a network of experimental and demonstration farms in all arable farming regions of Austria.

* Site-specific adaptation of domestic and foreign scientific experiments to practical conditions of organic farming using regional transfer trials.

* Site-specific review and demonstration of innovative crops, cultivation strategies and promising new varieties regarding their regional suitability for cultivation, using the results of official variety evaluations.

* Critical, professional support for interested farmers regarding the use of current plant and soil amendments.

* Rapid knowledge transfer of the project results and insights gained through:

- Conducting field days and excursions

- Preparation of documents for farmers, consultants

- Conducting educational events for farmers

- Sharing knowledge with interested biological actors
