The overall goals of the project Reduced tillage and green manures for sustainable organic cropping systems – TILMAN-ORG are to design improved organic cropping systems with enhanced productivity and nutrient use efficiency, more efficient weed management and increased biodiversity, but lower carbon footprints.
 
The TILMAN-ORG project is funded by the CORE Organic II Funding Bodies being  partners of the FP7 ERA-Net project, CORE Organic II (www.coreorganic2.org).
