From malting barley to organic beer - blueprint for regional and sustainable value chain management (OrganicMaltingBarley)
Project
Project code: EIP-Agri-Rlp-2019-BVDLEVLGMLPT
Contract period: 01.01.2019
- 31.12.2023
Budget: 541,183 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
The aim is that the concerned regional value chain from organic malting barley to organic beer will remain successful beyond the project duration. On one side efficiency-enhancing measures will be regarded in the project. But communication and marketing measures are seen as even more important.
If the politically desired expansion of organic agriculture only takes concern on promoting the conversion of agricultural farms, but leaves aside the necessary increase of processing capacities and consumption, then markets for organic commodities will collapse and a high dependency on subsidies will remain. For a successful transformation, the higher costs of organic production must be paid by the consumers.
