What the content was all about
On day one, the focus was on previous experiences and starting points for the further development of the area-based support of organic farming from the participants' point of view. Building on this, more fundamental changes to the current ways of support were discussed on the second day. Against the backdrop of the policy goals for the expansion of organic farming in Germany and the EU, a key question was how to better target the support and enhance the economic performance of organic farming in Germany. A presentation by the BMEL (Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food) on latest political developments within the framework of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) rounded off the busy and very interesting exchange.
The workshop was initiated by the Thünen Institute of Farm Economics and organised in cooperation with the relevant departments of the BMEL. A continuation in 2025 is being considered, as the work for the CAP period after 2027 is already underway.
