Organic agriculture enables farmers to produce high-quality food with a low environmental impact. By reducing the use of chemical fertilisers, pesticides and antimicrobials, organic farming systems can have positive effects on our environment, climate, biodiversity, animal welfare, farmer incomes, rural development and more. More practical information about conversion to organic is needed.
Solution
As part of the European Green Deal, the ‘Farm to Fork’ and Biodiversity Strategies aim to achieve at least 25% of the EU’s agricultural land under organic farming by 2030. The Action Plan for the Development of Organic Production in the EU was developed to help the organic sector reach its full potential and meet the goals of the European Green Deal. As part of the Action Plan, an EU network of national ‘organic ambassadors’ promotes organic production at the national level and helps exchange best practices at the EU level. Promoting innovative approaches, including new ways to collaborate, and exchange good practices can support farmers, organisations and others in the value chain in their efforts to successfully convert to organic farming.
