[EBOOK] Conversion of conventional farming into organic farming

Module No.5 (Conversion of conventional farming into organic farming) aims to enliance the competence in the field of organic agriculture and the possible implementation of its principles and methods in practice. The module focuses on the staff of regional and municipal administrations concerned with sustainable rural development and the environment. Therefore the emphasis is rather on the actualization of questions of organic agriculture, then on the realization of principles and methods in specific practical conditions.

The topics of the module cover topical and problematic questions connected with organic agriculture and integrate them in the system where both traditional forms and methods, as well prospective innovative approaches in development of organic agriculture are considered. Therefore we hope that the issues will be of interest to anyone interested in ecological (organic) agriculture. Expected result of this training module is the development of knowledge of a complex approach and the ability to assess efficiency and possibility of modernization and introduction of elements of organic agriculture.

The module was developed in the frame of the Tempus project “Vocational Training in Rural Development and Ecology”. In co-operation with eleven Russian agricultural academies and universities, the Russian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, practise partners from the public and private sector in Russia and EU partners from Germany.
