Summary in the original language of the document
The European Union as well as the Finnish authorities are guiding us towards a more sustainable world and the organic food system has an important role in it (Commission of European Communities 2004, MMM 2012). It is obvious that to develop the system more sustainable, we need food chain stakeholder-based research to give us better solutions as well as new innovations. The scientific research of organic food-related subjects in Finland has, for couple of decades already, been targeted mostly to the agricultural sector for the farm level operations. For being a complicated system, the research of the organic system needs more multidisciplinary, even holistic approach in the future. Also a better commitment from both, the Government as well as from the food system stake holders is needed.
