Analysis of the Dynamics of Productive Performance of Organic Farming in the European Union

Abstract

This research is focused on identifying the potential of organic farming by testing the efficiency of productive yields and identifying pragmatic means to quantify it such as the function of the productive yield of organic farming. The results of the study are concretized in the definition of a new tool (the organic productivity function) and its testing in order to capture the evolution of organic farming in relation to external influencing factors (economic and epidemiological crises) during the analyzed period and the influence of support measures adopted at European level. The study is useful to national and supranational decision makers for adjusting organic agriculture development strategies.
