Organic.Lingua is aiming to enhance an existing Web portal (http://www.organic-edunet.eu) with educational content on Organic Agriculture (OA) and Agroecology (AE), introducing automated multi-lingual services that will further support the uptake of the portal from its targeted audiences, facilitate the multilingual features of the portal, and further extend its geographical and linguistic coverage.

Organic Lingua project has been selected for presentation as a poster in the Project Track at the 16th Annual Conference of the European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT ) 2012.
