Over 2,000 new farmers confirmed for Organic Farming Scheme this year
Reaching 10% of all land farmed organically by 2030 is "hugely ambitious", but there is "real; progress" being made already, Ms Hackett said.
All eligible new applicants to the Organic Farming Scheme for 2023 will be accepted immediately, Minister of State Pippa Hackett has said.
Over 2,000 farmers applied in the most recent opening of the scheme, and this week they will receive their approval providing them with a five-year contract commencing on January 1, 2023.
