This report provides a structured analysis of current knowledge gaps and research needs within organic advisory systems across Europe. Drawing on inputs from thematic networks, advisory practice, and cross-country exchange, it identifies areas where existing knowledge is insufficient, fragmented, or not effectively transferred into practice.

A key finding of the report is that many challenges are not solely related to a lack of knowledge, but rather to accessibility, usability, and integration of existing knowledge into advisory processes. Differences between countries and advisory systems further highlight the need for more context-sensitive approaches and improved coordination within the Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation System (AKIS).

• strengthening knowledge flows between research and practice
• improving the accessibility and usability of advisory tools
• enhancing collaboration across actors and networks
• addressing emerging challenges in organic farming through targeted knowledge development

A central element of the document is the catalogue of 50 advisory tools, which translates these needs into practical resources. The tools cover a wide range of formats—such as guidelines, videos, and digital applications—and are selected to support advisors in different contexts and thematic areas. They serve as concrete entry points for integrating knowledge into advisory work and for fostering peer learning.

Overall, the report combines analytical insights with practical solutions. It supports advisors, coordinators, educators, and policy actors in identifying relevant knowledge resources, addressing existing gaps, and strengthening the effectiveness of organic advisory services in a rapidly evolving sector.
