FIRAB – Italian Foundation for Research in Organic and Biodynamic Agriculture
FIRAB was set up in 2007 by organic and biodynamic farmers' organisations as well as environmental and trade union associations. FIRAB promotes applied research in low-input farming through a participatory approach, including through farmer-to-farmer exchanges. The Foundation operates technical and scientific dissemination. At European and international levels, FIRAB cooperates with scientific and civil society organizations involved in research governance, policy analysis, food and agriculture scenarios, land issues, and agroecological models of production.
Role in the project
FIRAB promotes applied research in low-input farming through a participatory approach that fosters both scientist-to-farmer and farmer-to-farmer knowledge exchange. Within the BIOGREENET project, it contributes as a technical and scientific disseminator in the field and carries out socio-economic research to support sustainable agricultural transitions.
