TP Organics new position paper puts forward priority call topics to be included in the third and final Work Programme (WP) of Horizon Europe (2025-2027), both the general WP and the Missions WP (EU Mission “A Soil Deal for Europe”).

The presented research priorities reflect the knowledge and innovation needs of the organic and agroecological sector identified in TP Organics’ Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda, while also taking into account the new policy environment and practical challenges imposed by the current crises Europe and the world are facing.

Organic and agroecological farming offers multiple benefits for climate and biodiversity, guaranteeing the health of both people and the planet, and therefore the bases of food production and long-term food security, and should receive proper funding under WP 2025, which will be key to reach the EU Farm to Fork and Organic Action Plan targets, including 25% organic farmland in Europe by 2030.
