The European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation funding program released its 2016-2017 plans, and provided €33 million for organic farming. In particular, funding requests concerning organic plant breeding and contentious inputs used in organic farming were allocated a total value of 28 million euro. Furthermore, additional funding was devoted to challenges relevant to organic farming. Organic food processing was left out of hte funding, however.
