• Steadily growing sector: area doubled in relation to 2002 and increased by 63% in decade 2007 – 2016
• Currently about 185.000 farms across Europe, trend increasing while consolidation of conventional agricultural holdings in EU-28
• Value of organically grown products doubled in the last decade: more than 30 bn€ in 2016

Challenges for the organic sector in Europe
• The average share of organic farmland is at about 6% and differs significantly depending on sector and countries (e.g. 21% in AT, 14% IT, 7% DE, 3% NL)
• Consumption of organic products is unevenly distributed across the EU
• Increases in area devoted to organic farming slowing down and in some Member States the area is even declining
• Organic production is lagging behind the growth of the organic market (e.g. from 2012 – 2016 sales of organic products grew by about 50% while organic farmland only grew by 19%).
• Consumer demand to be met by imports: need for equivalence in standards
• New organic regulation resulting in increased need for organic seed, organic varieties and other inputs
H2020, CAP and EIP-AGRI
The current European context for organic farming, research and innovation
EU Organic Regulation
Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and Common Fisheries Policy (for organic aquatic production)

The future CAP & Horizon Europe
Scaling up synergies between future policies on research
(Horizon Europe) and agriculture (CAP)
Knowledge, innovation, digitalisation of
agriculture as cross-cutting objective
CAP Strategic Plans at regional level
requested to address AKIS and digital
technologies as part of modernisation
Main AKIS building blocks:
o Farm advisory services
o EIP AGRI, operational groups
o CAP networks (EU, national, regional):
knowledge exchange, set up of OGs
10 bn allocated to R&I on food,
agriculture, rural development and
the bioeconomy (under Cluster 5 on
Food and Natural Resources)
Innovation, impact and societal
relevance firmly embedded into
research activities
Continued support to multi-actor
approach, thematic networks and
Agricultural Knowledge and
Innovation Systems (AKIS)

R&I Missions
R&I Missions Connecting to citizens: Missions will relate EU's
research and innovation to society and citizens'
needs, with strong visibility and impact
Horizon Europe proposal defines mission characteristics and criteria
Specific missions will be co-designed with Member States, stakeholders and
citizens and programmed within the Global Challenges and Industrial
Competitiveness pillar (drawing on inputs from other pillars)
A mission will consist of a portfolio of actions intended to achieve
a bold and inspirational as well as measurable goal within a set
timeframe, with impact for science and technology, society and citizens
that goes beyond individual actions.
Horizon Europe Strategic planning to define
multiannual work programmes and calls for proposals
• Transparency and stakeholder involvement
• Prioritisation and flexibility to align to political priorities
• Internal programme coherence & synergies with other programmes
