Description
The Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (Forschungsinstitut für biologischen Landbau – FiBL) is the world’s leading information and documentation centre for organic agriculture. The close links between different fields of research and the rapid transfer of knowledge from research to advisory work and agricultural practice are FiBL’s strengths. The German sister-institute FiBL Deutschland e.V. was founded in 2001. Since 2004 FiBL exists also in Austria.
