Evaluation of support for organic farming in draft CAP Strategic Plans (2023-2027)

All 27-EU Member States had to submit their Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) national Strategic Plans (SP) by 1 January 2022 to the European Commission (EC). As of 3 March, one country has still not submitted its two CAP Strategic Plans (Belgium for Wallonia and Flanders). With this evaluation of the support for organic farming in the different draft CAP national Strategic Plans, IFOAM Organics Europe wishes to ensure that the European Commission has all the information necessary to address shortcomings in the national support to organic farming in its upcoming Observation Letters, and to ensure that Member States have plans that will guarantee at least the continued growth of organic production during the next CAP period (2023-2027). This report is based on a consultation process (questionnaire and interviews), undertaken by IFOAM Organics Europe with its members from April 2021 to February 2022, to assess the adequacy of the measures and budget to develop organic farming included in Member States’ CAP Strategic Plans. This document aims at providing an overview, based on IFOAM Organics Europe members’ feedback, of the extent to which the new CAP 2023-2027 will contribute to further developing organic agriculture in the EU. It also includes recommendations to improve the support for organic farming and level up the ambition of the CAP national Strategic Plans so that they contribute to reach the objectives of the new CAP, as well as the targets set in the Green Deal, the Farm to Fork Strategy and the Biodiversity Strategy
