2 Objectives Evaluate the current practices for organic grain wheat production and flour-processing in Europe. Improve crop management strategies to enable breadmaking quality wheat to be produced on organic farms with and without livestock. Develop optimal post-harvest treatment to prevent mycotoxin contamination and enhance bread making quality and nutritional value. To generalise results from experiments in order to enhance farm management strategies in various climates and soil types observed in Europe. Common use of research facilities Long term experiments DOK Trial (Fibl-FAL) OFCR Trial (DIAS) MUBIL Trial (BOKU) SoilMan Trial (ISARA-ESA) Transnational Field experiments N management and crop rotation N fertilization (DIAS, FIBL, FAL, ISARA) Green manure (DIAS, BOKU) Intercropping (ESA, ISARA, FAL) Soil tillage management (ISARA, ESA, FIBL) Baking properties (INRAN, INRA) Nutritional properties (INRAN) Mycotoxin contamination (DIAS) Post-harvest treatments (INRA, INRAN, Goëmar) Milling process stone vs roller Ozonation and heat treatments 2

5 Added value of the collaboration The use of long term experiments, surveys and analytical trials The assessment of innovative crop management and milling processes The combination of agronomical and technological methods A multidisciplinary consortium A permanent link with farmers and millers through participatory research Context It is a challenge to organic farmers, millers and bakeries to fulfil consumer expectations of providing healthy and safe products without impairing yield performance. The quality of organic grain can be modified by agronomic conditions such as crop management, crop rotation, and soil fertility. Therefore, food processing technologies such as the post-harvest handling of the grain and the flour processing are also key factors in producing bread of high nutritional value without contaminants. 5
