Abstract
AbstractThis chapter focuses on the development of governmental support for organic farming in Europe. Policy support for organic farming takes several forms, including legal standards that define organic farming; government inspection, certification and labelling activities; and direct payments to converting and established organic producers. Organic farming is also affected by the mainstream measures of the CAP and some special provisions introduced to mitigate these effects, as well as by the use of rural development programmes to support the development of marketing infrastructure and organic institutional capacity building, by information activities and research and by the balancing of various measures in integrated action plans.
