Summary
Clusters help farmers gain funding or technical advice. Regional networks addressing local needs strengthen community cohesion and the organic narrative nationally.

Farmers in Romania who are organic, are interested or want to convert to organic, should join one the following existing clusters in their region:
Inter-Bio
Cluster Bio Oltenia

Bio Concept Valea Praho-vei Cluster
BioNest Cluster
AKIS should work with communities at the regional level to scale organic, emulating similar initiatives,
e.g., biodistricts in Italy or Living Labs. Bio-districts in Italy or Living Labs.
