About us
Context
The EU has set the target of reaching at least 25 % organic farmland by 2030. This requires the entry of about 700,000 new farmers into the organic sector, more than doubling of the current organic land area, a substantial increase in supply chains and the complete range of support services. Advisors with organic competences are essential to reach the 25 % target. We estimate that the sector needs about 15,000 advisors in the EU, who can support organic farmers.
