The Farm-to-Fork Strategy and Biodiversity Strategy, integral components of the European Green Deal, share a common goal of establishing a fair, healthy, and environmentally friendly food system within the European Union (EU). These strategies acknowledge the vital significance of organic farming and aquaculture in attaining this overarching objective.
With the European Green Deal, the Farm-to-Fork Strategy and the Biodiversity Strategy, the EU has set targets of:
Farm-to-Fork Strategy and Biodiversity Strategy Targets
Achieving these targets requires a balanced up-scaling of production and consumption, implying a considerable transformation in farm structures and value chains.
OrganicTargets4EU aims to achieve expected outcomes that drive the growth and development of the organic sector:
Policy implementation
Evidence-based decision making
Increased and coordinated Research & Innovation
Increased knowledge sharing
Focus Countries
Key drivers and lock-ins assessment, policy analysis and R&I investment work are covered in all Member States as well as associated countries. Detailed analyses are carried out in 8 focus countries represented by a Practice Partner with close connections with producers and value chain actors:
7 FOCUS COUNTRIES (agriculture):
DE, HU, DK, IT, RO, AT, FR
2 FOCUS COUNTRIES (aquaculture):
GR, DE
The focus countries were chosen based on their representation of different EU geographical contexts, as well as their current stages of organic development in terms of farmland share and market demand.
