With the Farm-to-Fork Strategy, the EU has set targets of reaching at least 25% of the EU’s agricultural land under organic farming and significantly increasing organic aquaculture by 2030. The Horizon Europe project “OrganicTargets4EU” will develop in a multi-actor approach options and policy recommendations to support the achievement of these targets.
Based on an assessment of key drivers and lock-ins affecting the development of the organic sector, the project will develop possible scenarios for achieving the targets set by the EU. The socio-economic impacts of the expansion of organic farming on agriculture, value chains and the organic market will be analysed. Furthermore, the project will provide evidence on the mechanisms that can drive demand for organic food and the impact of changing diets and food waste reduction on mitigating the reduced yields from organic production.
