2021 European Organic Congress

ONLINE

Organic's contribution to the European Green Deal

• The European Organic Action Plan • The reform of the Common Agricultural Policy • From Farm to Fork Strategy

The European Organic Congress 2021 took place online, live from Lisbon, on 16-18 June 2021.

The 2021 Congress, with the title “Organic’s contribution to the European Green Deal” aimed to inspire the participants by focusing on how the agri-food sector’s initiatives enhance the transition towards a more sustainable food system, through the aid of leading examples from representatives and experts amidst the organic sector. The New EU Organic Regulation 848/2018 will also was explored, while focusing on its implications for the objective of 25% EU organic land by 2030. We drove deep into how organic districts, living labs and farm demonstrations contribute to rural development and the success of the Organic Action Plan. Moreover, organic’s contribution to climate change mitigation, with the EU Green Deal, the Biodiversity and Farm to Fork strategies and last but not least, the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) were the key themes for the Congress’ debates.
