%X Abstract - Improving the quality and safety and re-duction in cost in the European organic and ‘low in-put’ food supply chains (QLIF) is an Integrated Pro-ject under the 6th Framework Programme of the Euro-pean Commission which started in March 2004. After a two year period of research activities of the 31 partners, first preliminary results are available and will be presented during this congress. In our intro-ductory paper we try to develop an overall view on how the many work packages will strengthen the system approach of organic and ‘low input’ agricul-ture.
