CAP Seminar Organic Farming and Lisbon Strategy
November 07, 2006
The seminar Organic Farming and Rural Development in the Context of the Lisbon Strategy took place in Brussels at the Bureau de Liaison Bruxelles - Europe from October 19-20, 2006. It aimed at examining to which extent organic food and farming can contribute to the overarching strategy of the European Commission, the Lisbon strategy.

About 32 participants coming from all over Europe (23 different countries) were participating in the seminar. The participating experts from each country were selected by their national organisations to be able both (1) to bring the highest level possible of representation of organic expertise all around Europe and (2) to bring most benefit back to the countries. This allowed guaranteeing the quality of the debate and relevance of the conclusions.

The outcome was that Organic farming delivers the objectives of the Lisbon Strategy. The European Commission should use organic farming to its maximum advantage.
