SOAR is a research school. In addition to the focus on PhD students, SOAR also includes graduates, postdocs and supervisors in the activities and networks. This is important because they also constitute the research environment, in which the PhD student is under education. SOAR wants to contribute to the professional discussions with a special focus on the organic food and farming systems.

The research interests of SOAR cover a wide range of subjects within organic agriculture and food systems:

• Farming system research
• Crop production
• Resource management
• Ecosystem services
• Climate change mitigation and adaptation
• Livestock production
• Animal health and welfare
• Consumer and citizens’ involvement
• Regulations and policies
• Food chains
• Food sovereignty
