Summary
Twenty-five people active in research, extension, certification and industry related to organic production in Norway came together in October 2019 to discuss inputs used in organic growing and possible effects of phasing out common inputs such as conventional manure, and copper for plant protection. Experienced advisors warned against phasing out any inputs from already quite vulnerable farming systems. The lack of growth in the Norwegian organic sector since 2010 may affect the capacity to cope with changes in practice. This paper refers the discussion during this 2-day seminar, arranged in relation to the Organic-PLUS project (Horizon 2020).
