HDRA's contribution to organic horticultural data collection in Europe

摘要

The paper gives a short introduction into HDRA's (Henry Doubleday Research Association) contribution to the collection of organic horticultural data relevant to the EISfOM process. As a non-profit NGO, HDRA is involved in various public funded research projects on organic farming. Farm level business data and market data of organic vegetables and top fruits are the current focus of the research. The methodology used and selected results are shown for some studies to highlight HDRA's research approach. Problems with data collection are listed and discussed.
