Why ?
• There is limited, credible organic agriculture information available on the web
• Extension personnel are increasingly asked for information on organic agriculture
• Many Extension and other LGU personnel have had limited experience with organic agricultural systems
• eOrganic’s Community of Interest (CoI) includes farmers and other practitioners, educators and agricultural professionals (including Extension personnel), and researchers

eOrganic - as Training System• New initiative: online public webinars for ag
professionals and farmerso Organic fundamentals (e.g. soil and pest
management)o Critical Issues (e.g. late blight)
• Series and single webinars
• The public can participate in live webinars or watch them online as recordings.
• Webinars will also be worked up into articles as appropriate.
• In the future: short courses

eOrganic.info
• A web community where organic agriculture practitioners (farmers and others), researchers, educators and agricultural professionals (including Extension professionals), and regulators can network, exchange information, work and learn together, and communicate nationally.
![Page 31: eOrganic: the National Organic Agriculture Information, Training and Networking System](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051817/5487bed4b4af9faf0d8b5511/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
eOrganic strives to provide SCIENCE- EXPERIENCE-, and REGULATION- based information on organic agriculture to eXtension.
We need to bring scientists, farmers and regulators together to create the content
Why .info?

Why .info? eOrganic must deliver SCIENCE-based information:I. Science-based information derived from research
conducted in conventionally-managed farming systems that is applicable to organic farming systems.
– Pest diagnostics and phenology (life cycles)– Cultural pest management
II. Science-based information derived from research conducted in organically-managed farming systems (on-farm or on organically managed research lands).
– Nutrient management – Pest management (weeds, insects and diseases)– Plant breeding and variety evaluation

Why .info?
• Only recently have LGU researchers conducted research in and for organic agricultural systems; our science-based understanding is limited
• To facilitate learning, researchers need to network and learn collectively
• There is no professional society for organic agriculture (no forum for shared learning)
eOrganic is developing eOrganic.info as a place where the organic research community can network, learn, work, collaborate, and develop eXtension content – the goal is to improve research quality and speed up translation of research findings into information useful to farmers.
