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. 000334516 546__ $$aEnglish 000334516 650__ $$aAgricultural and Food Policy 000334516 650__ $$aCommunity/Rural/Urban Development 000334516 6531_ $$aagri-environment policy 000334516 6531_ $$arural development policy 000334516 6531_ $$aorganic farming policy 000334516 6531_ $$aEuropean Union 000334516 6531_ $$acommon agricultural policy 000334516 6531_ $$afarm to fork strategy 000334516 700__ $$aLampkin, Nicolas 000334516 8564_ $$94699f563-25f9-41df-991c-0d174ec5d658$$s1244891$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/334516/files/AES2023_OrganicFarmingEU.pdf 000334516 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:334516$$pGLOBAL_SET 000334516 913__ $$aBy depositing this Content ('Content') in AgEcon Search, I agree that I am solely responsible for any consequences of uploading this Content to AgEcon Search and making it publicly available, and I represent and warrant that: I am either the sole creator and the owner of the copyrights and all other rights in the Content; or, without obtaining another’s permission, I have the right to deposit the Content in an archive such as AgEcon Search.
