Research projects
FORI promotes research projects with different organizations. Our main fields of research are organic primary production, organic production and the environment, organic food and nutrition and organics in society and on the market.
The institute conducts research to produce information about organics for the business sector, consumers and society. FORI promotes organic food production and consumption throughout the Finnish food chain through research, education and development projects.
The Finnish Organic Research Institute coordinates the Research Programme for Organic Food and Farming in Finland 2014-2018.
