Despite these hurdles, interest is growing. In France alone, 30-50% of future farmers have an organic project. Organic farming is proving a major driver of innovation, generational renewal & sustainable agrifood systems.

Young organic farmers face many challenges, but the CAP provides tools, funding and rewards for ecosystem services to help them get started.
More improvements are still needed.

€386 billion - that’s the CAP budget for 2021-2027.
It’s not just numbers.
It’s a system that supports farmers, prioritises organic farming, and invests in the future of food.
This budget shapes how Europe farms.

#PressRelease | Young organic farmers are key to Europe’s sustainable future - yet the new #GenerationalRenewal Strategy overlooks their role. Without recognition & targeted tools, the EU risks missing its 2040 ambition.

Europe’s farming future is in the hands of young people 🌱
21% of organic farm managers are under 40.
Organic attracts youth faster – but they need support. CAP can make the difference, shaping a greener, fairer food system. #CAP #OrganicYouth #GenerationalRenewal #EUorganic #IMCAP

🌱 Only 6.5% of EU farmers are <35. For resilient food & farming, we need a new generation, fresh energy and new ideas! 💡
