According to this first draft, the \u00d6PUL programme \u2013 which also regulates the support for environmental measures and rural development via the CAP\u2019s second pillar \u2013 will be reformed. But the new plan no longer includes a separate scheme that compensates farms for the additional costs of complying with EU organic regulation, as was the case under the CAP\u2019s previous programming period. Instead, farms will be rewarded for their environmentally friendly practices through general measures that are also available to conventional farmers.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" style=\"margin-bottom:13px\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">For Bio Austria, the country\u2019s plans \u201cdo not do justice to the systemic additional services of organic agriculture\u201d.

This means Austria has already achieved the EU target set by the Commission\u2019s flagship Farm to Fork and Biodiversity strategies, which calls on member states to have 25% of their land dedicated to organic farming.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" style=\"margin-bottom:13px\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">\u00a0\u201cWith the proposals on the table, we would not be able to increase the share (\u2026) in Austria\u201d, was written in a working paper published in April by various \u00a0associations \u201cThere would even be a serious risk that we would lose many farms that have already converted to organic farming\u201d.
