Europe boosts organic supply, but what about demand? ‘Consumers dictate the food chain’ Does the European Commission’s ambition of achieving 25% agricultural land under organic farming risk tipping the scales of supply and demand?
Organic farming is thought to play a crucial role in the move towards a more sustainable food system.
According to the European Commission, organic farming provides a higher income for farmers and benefits smaller, family-run operations.
Organic farms are also perceived to be more resilient and are known to encourage greater biodiversity. Further, their animals enjoy higher animal welfare than their conventionally farmed counterparts.
Given these benefits, the European Commission wants to increase organic production across the bloc. Specifically, the Commission has set a target of achieving at least 25% agricultural land under organic farming by 2030.
Europe’s ‘difficult target’ of 25% organic by 2030: Is the Organic Action Plan doing enough? The European Commission has detailed how it plans to achieve a target of 25% agricultural land under organic farming. Should it be doing more?
Under the Green Deal’s Farm to Fork strategy, the European Commission has committed to a target of at least 25% agricultural land under organic farming by 2030.
Coming from a current starting point of just 8.5%, the Commission has its work cut out for it.
“We don’t dispute that it’s a difficult target,” said Diego Canga Fano, Principal Adviser at DG Agri, who revealed a ‘big challenge’ lies in the varying starting points of the EU 27.
