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.
