      abstract = {Organic farming has been supported in almost all EU Member  States since the early 1990s by means of an EU-wide legal  definition, agri-environmental conversion and maintenance  payments, rural development marketing and processing  grants, promotion funding, public procurement and research  and information initiatives. Often the support has been  combined in organic action plans, designed to integrate  supply push and demand-pull measures. The latest CAP round  (2023-2027) has delegated responsibility for setting  organic farming policy to Member States, but with an EU  Farm to Fork Strategy target of 25% of agricultural land  area to be managed organically by 2030, and an expectation  that Member States will implement policies and action plans  for organic farming to help deliver this. This paper charts  the development of organic farming in the EU since the  1990s, the motivations for policy support, and the types  and levels of support implemented in the 2010-2020 period.  It analyses how Member State plans for policy in the next  five years compare with previous periods and whether they  are able to meet the challenge of the 25% target.},
