The School of Agriculture and Food Technology has four main disciplines: agricultural economics, extension, and education; animal science; crop science; and soil science and agricultural engineering.  Some of its current research activities include socio-economics of crop and livestock production, farmer participation in agricultural production, use of locally available feedstuff in livestock production, management of crop diseases; and minimizing soil erosion while maintaining a profitable crop production. 

NEFG and the School of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development at Newcastle University work together on organic agriculture and food research and provide advisory services to farmers, processors and consumers.  Recent and current research on organics looks at a range of issues, including consumer behaviour, the role of economics and marketing, nutrition, quality, health, food safety, pest and disease control and food policy.

The School of Biological Sciences aims to address the fundamental biological consequences of environmental change.  Researchers in the School are engaged in a number of research projects in organic agriculture and maintain a separate webpage dedicated to these endeavours.  Key research themes include crop and livestock production, pest and weed control, soil fertility, and marketing. 

The Scale Effects in Alternative Agricultural Systems (SCALE) analysis project within SPRU is aimed at studying the effects of alternative methods of agricultural cultivation, such as organic farming, and the factors that drive their adoption.  The project compares organic and conventional farms and researches bird, invertebrate and plant biodiversity; soil physical properties; ease of soil working; water infiltration rates; soil erosion among others.

SEA aims to create conditions that support sustainable agricultural development in the Dominican Republic.  The Department is currently working on a project aimed at supporting and building the technical assistance and extension services for organic agriculture; however, SEA does not focus exclusively on organic research.  The website is only available in Spanish.

SPC, originally the South Pacific Commission, is an international organization that provides technical assistance, training, and research services to twenty-two Pacific Island countries.  The programs of relevance include animal health and production, crop production, forestry and agriculture diversification, agricultural trade, forests and trees, genetic resources, and coastal and oceanic fisheries.

In the Section for Agriculture the focus is on research, collaboration and public representation in the areas of soil management, crop cultivation, animal husbandry and the farm organism. Knowing and working with planetary-earthly correspondences is basic to the bio-dynamic method of agriculture as practised worldwide. These experiences lead to social and economic perspectives, to insights and practical implications for market structuring and to associative activity on regional, national and international levels.

Created in 1987, Senegalese Association for the Promotion of Organic Agriculture SAPOA (ASPAB) supports and coordinates the activities of farmers on agro-ecology. Through its action on assistance, capacity building and advice, SAPOA (ASPAB) works for a rigorous respect of the norms of production of organic agriculture.

SEAE es una asociación con el propósito de aglutinar los esfuerzos de agricultores, técnicos, científicos y de otras personas, encaminados hacia el desarrollo de sistemas sustentables de producción agraria, fundamentados en los principios ecológicos y socioeconómicos promovidos por los movimientos de Agricultura Ecológica. Los fines de la sociedad son Fomentar, coordinar y facilitar la investigación, enseñanza, asesoramiento y la difusión de todos los aspectos relacionados con la Agricultura Ecológica y el Desarrollo Rural Sostenible; organizar curso y otros eventos formativos destinados a los distintos agentes del sector de la agricultura ecológica; Promover el desarrollo y mejora de las técnicas de la Agricultura Ecológica; Desarrollar la Cooperación Internacional, destinada a fomentar los fines anteriores.

The Soil Ecology Laboratory focuses on the effects of vermicompost teas on plant growth, pathogen suppression, plant parasitic nematode suppression, and arthropod pest suppression.
