Organic Research Forum

The Organic Research Forum showcases research on organic farming practices. The Forum brings together researchers and farmers to discuss goals and future research needs. The Organic Research Forum is a project of Marbleseed and includes a juried poster session with awards for 1st through 3rd place, and a People's Choice Award.

The Organic Research Forum at the 2025 Marbleseed Organic Farming Conference, Feb. 20-22, includes a poster session presenting data and ongoing research projects in organic agriculture. Posters are expected to present a body of data rather than an outline of planned activities. Field research must be performed on certified organic land. Researchers, academic faculty and staff, graduate/undergraduate students and farmer researchers may submit poster proposals related to the following topics:

1. Organic fruit, vegetable and row crop production (including bio-fuels & fibers)
2. Organic dairy production
3. Economic and marketing research of organic products
4. Organic livestock production (other than dairy) and crop-livestock integration
5. Organic insect and disease management
6. Nutritional quality of organic foods
7. Consumer and market trends for organic products
   All accepted poster presenters receive full conference admission. Poster presenters are responsible for all
   lodging and travel costs. This is a juried poster session with awards for 1st through 3rd place
