Show Notes
The EU's recently launched Organic Action Plan sets ambitious goals to boost organic food production and raise organic farming in Europe to 25% of all farmland by 2030. The Action Plan will benefit the environment, biodiversity, animal welfare and contribute significantly to achieving the EU's goals set out in the European Green Deal. It can also be a game changer for thousands of farmers: increased support for organic farming may be the way to safeguard the disappearing small and medium-sized farms, which are unable to compete with industry giants.
What does the new Action Plan bring to the table and how can the food and farming sector be strengthened in the future? Find out the answers from the expert discussion in the latest episode of the Food for Europe mini-series on organics.
