SFRI’s goal is for the sustainable use of soil and water to promote soil health. It aims to accomplish this goal by researching measures to combat soil erosion and improve the fertility of agricultural soils. Specifically, studies examine soil moisture conservation, the relationship between rainfall and runoff, and the effects of macro-and micro-nutrients on agricultural production.

SAFO was an EU funded Concerted Action, which was carried out between 2003 and 2006. The objective of SAFO was to improve food safety and animal health in organic livestock production systems through exchange and active communication of research results and conclusions between researchers, policy makers, farmers and consumers. Although the project has competed, the website includes various publications of relevance, including conclusions and recommendations and the proceedings from SAFO workshops on certification and standards, quality and safety, animal health, animal husbandry, and socio-economic aspects of organic animal production.
