Imagine trying to triple the size of a garden in just a few years; you'd need a serious plan for seeds, tools, and buyers. This work creates those blueprints for organic food production across Europe. It identifies what is blocking growth and maps out the best paths to get more organic food from the farm to the plate.
Organic producers and retailers face a massive gap between current production levels and EU 2030 targets. There is a lack of clear roadmaps to scale production without crashing the value chain.
The project produced 4 transformation scenarios for agriculture and aquaculture, an inventory of growth constraints, and a set of policy recommendations for the CAP and EU regulations.
If you are a seed company dealing with unpredictable demand for organic varieties — this project developed transition pathways and identified knowledge gaps that help you align your product pipeline with the target of 25% organic farmland by 2030.
If you are a retailer dealing with supply shortages of organic produce — this project developed scenarios for change and analyzed market drivers that help you secure long-term sourcing as the sector aims to triple its current organic area.
If you are a fish farm dealing with low market penetration — this project developed specific scenarios for organic aquaculture to help increase its share from 2% toward a 5% target.
Based on available project data, the project analyzes the socio-economic impacts of increasing organic farmland and the mechanisms that drive demand, though specific price points are not provided.
Yes, the project specifically focuses on the upscaling of production and consumption to reach a target of 25% of EU agricultural land by 2030.
Based on available project data, the project focuses on policy recommendations and knowledge exchange rather than patented technology or licensed software.
The project provides policy recommendations for the CAP, EU organic regulation, and national organic action plans.
The project provides short-term options up to 2027, a reform plan from 2028 onwards, and a long-term outlook up to 2034.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward research and academic expertise, with 9 research organizations and 5 universities. However, it maintains a practical edge with 5 SMEs and 1 industry partner across 12 countries, ensuring that the 4 developed scenarios are grounded in the realities of 8 focus countries including Germany, Italy, and France.
