About us
An innovative structure of research, training, information and advice that focuses solely on organic farming and organic agroecology
The institute serves farmers, institutions, associations, companies and citizens.
​
Located in Upigny (Eghezée) in Wallonia, the BRIOAA has 60 hectares of field crops in organic agroecology, directly linked to a weather station of the Agromet network. This infrastructure allows the development of an "open-air organic laboratory" in Wallonia.
​
Define a new agricultural paradigm, with today's tools, to meet the challenges of tomorrow
​
This concept of "open-air organic laboratory" corresponds to the setting up of innovation and testing platforms in real production situations, based on the co-creation of knowledge and technical tools adapted to the local reality and which can serve as inspiration for other contexts.
​
​An independent, dynamic, forward-thinking and innovative structure
​
Financially and intellectually independent, the research institute raises questions and provides pragmatic answers in order to create a fairer balance between a nourishing agriculture and the natural balance.
