Objective
The EU currently imports a substantial proportion of organic produce. Converting to organic agriculture is a risky decision for farmers, despite the support payments available. This project seeks to increase the conversion rate through the identification of existing constraints. Furthermore, in keeping with EU policy to encourage market mechanisms for the support of agriculture, the project investigates the potential for growth and development of a niche market for horticulture, dairy and meat products from the second year of conversion. The project takes a food chain approach to the facilitation of conversion by including producer, retailer and consumer surveys. EU policies will be appraised in light of the findings of these surveys. The research findings and policy recommendations will be presented to representatives from the food industry and policy-making bodies.
