The Future of Organic Food
and
Farming within the
Reformed CAP
Reviewing the European Organic
Action Plan and future
perspectives
In cooperation with partner
organisations, the IFOAM EU Group is organising a
European Organic Congress on 4 - 5 December 2007 in
Brussels.
The timing of this event is key:
- The EU Action Plan on organic food and farming is
coming to an end: all actions have started to be
implemented or are completed.
- At the same time, the Commission has initiated a
CAP Health check and the budget review in 2008/2009,
together with the post-2013 discussion. All these will
influence the political framework of the Common
Agricultural Policy.
- Additionally, policy has to take into account
future environmental challenges such as mitigating
climate change and halting the loss of
biodiversity.
Thus, the Congress aims,
not only to assess the current situation of EU organic
production, but also to identify the contribution of
organic production to various EU political objectives.
It aims to define clear political recommendations that
will enhance a dynamic development of organic food and
farming sector for the years to come. |
