The main objective of the BIOFRUITNET project – “Boosting Innovation in ORGANIC FRUIT production through stronger networks” (GA 862850) is to close the gap between existing innovative knowledge and its practical implementation, aiming to fulfill the needs of the organic fruit growing. The project focuses on organic pome, stone, and citrus fruits and aims to strengthen the competitiveness of European organic fruit production by:

• Collecting and synthesizing existing practical and scientific knowledge on organic fruit-growing to distribute it widely among the EU countries through easy formats like e-learning, podcasts, videos, and short articles.
• Strengthening the established networks in organic fruit growing and establishing links between them to create strong networks of organic fruit producers and stakeholders with a good flow of information.

The project is coordinated by the International farmers association Naturland and carried out in collaboration with 15 partner organisations representing 12 countries in total. They will work together for 3 years to provide information to the farmers in a practical way to tackle the challenges of pests and diseases in fruit crops.
