Field trials
In the OH-FINE project, we are committed to improving organic farming practices, encouraging the exchange of knowledge, and strengthening the European organic community.
A key part of our work involves carrying out 26 agricultural field trials across eight partner countries, on both experimental sites and case study farms.
