The EESC recognises the role of organic farming in achieving the objectives of the European Green Deal and sees this action plan for the development of organic production as a solid basis for developing the organic sector in a sustainable manner. It supports in particular the Commission's market-oriented approach to further increasing consumer demand and confidence in organic products As a balance between demand and supply is crucial for the sector's successful development. It considers the target of making 25% of agricultural land in the EU organic by 2030 to be very ambitious.
