Coming training workshops
13-15 February 2008:
4th QLIF training and exchange workshop on farm nitogen management
From 13 to 15 February 2008, the Louis Bolk Institute will organise the 4th workshop, focussing on the relation between farm nitrogen management and food quality and the instruments at farm level to improve nitrogen management.
We strongly encourage you and your (junior) colleagues to join. Read more about the nitrogen workshop program, location and possibilities for bursaries.
Previous training workshops
Third QLIF workshop
Measuring food quality: concepts, methods and challenges
The third QLIF training and exchange workshop gave attention to different aspects of food quality.
A concept of good quality, how different quality aspects can be measured, but also the gaps in our knowledge and the challenges that we face in achieving a guaranteed high quality of organic food produce were discussed.
The workshop was held 12-14 February 2007, Driebergen, the Netherlands
Second QLIF workshop
Towards animal oriented methods of rearing animals in organic production systems
The aim of a two-days workshop for junior researchers was "to transfer both theoretical background knowledge and practical skills in using new approaches".
The workshop was held 20-22 February 2006 in Driebergen, NL.
First QLIF workshop
Healthy Soil, Healthy Crops, Healthy People
The first QLIF training workshop was held 2 - 4 February 2005 in the Netherlands. The aim of the two-days workshop was to transfer both theoretical background knowledge and practical skills in the use of new techniques and experimental approaches within soil quality.

Exchange and training
The project will provide training and educational programmes on organic and “low input” farming to junior scientists in the project and from European institutions not involved in the project.
It will thereby address the shortage of specialist scientists, advisors and lecturers with skills and in depth knowledge about multifactorial and interdisciplinary approaches needed for research programmes underpinning the growing organic and “low input” food industries; and thus ensure important human resources that can provide education, training and advice on organic and “low input” farming, and further increase the capacity for disseminating results and introducing innovation from the Integrated Project into industry.
Further information can be obtained from mr. G.J. van der Burgt, Louis Bolk Instituut (NL).
