ÖMKi is the only independent organization in Hungary devoted specifically to sustainable agriculture. Since 2011, we have been working to ensure the competitiveness of organic food production in Hungary by practical research, authentic advices, consultation possibility and knowledge transfer. We believe that the future belongs both to organic production methods that embrace tradition and the results of scientific research and innovation.
With almost 40 employees and over 100 on-farm partners, our research focuses on topics that can bring significant and novel results for organic food production. Our participation in international research projects allows us to channel Hungarian organic farmers into the international circulation of agriculture. ÖMKi’s main fields of activity include participation-based On-farm research network (certified Living Lab), as well as knowledge sharing and representation. For Hungary, organic agriculture is one of the greatest opportunities to refresh the national agricultural and food industry and to achieve sustainability. In order to maintain the dynamic growth of organic agriculture, it is essential to lay the foundations through scientific research and strategic market development.
