Agriculture
German term or phrase: Österreichische Archekommission
Does anyone know if there is an official English language name for this committee? Is it the same thing as the Standing Committee on Agricultural Research? I've seen organic agriculture sites in English for ARCHE NOAH, Slow Food International, Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity, ARCHE AUSTRIA and Ark Austria, but can't find an exact English match for Österreichische Archekommission (Austrian ARCHE Committee?).

Austrian Noah's Ark Committee
Explanation:
Maybe?

Food in Austria today. Gamerith's approach may have been influenced to some extent by the writings of Rudolf Steiner, whose theories on biodynamic agriculture not only originated in Austria, but are still widely practiced there to one degree or another. Because of the lack of large open agricultural lands, Austrian farmers have concentrated on intensive agriculture on small plots of land. Organic farming is extremely popular, and the country supplies a large amount of its own food. Interest in heirloom fruits and vegetables is high and is well-coordinated under the grass-roots organization Arche Noah (Noah's Ark), which is headquartered at Schloss Schiltern. The most recent trend in Vienna's leading restaurants has been a turn away from the old imperial cuisine so popular with tourists, and the placement of new emphasis on seasonal local produce and traditional cooking methods. Thus the cuisine of the countryside is now finding new status on high-end menus in the creative hands of numerous young chefs.
