(24) Member States should set farm advisory services for the purpose of improving the sustainable management and overall performance of agricultural holdings and rural businesses, covering economic, environmental and social dimensions, and to identify the necessary improvements as regards all measures at farm level provided for in the CAP Strategic Plans. These farm advisory services should help farmers and other beneficiaries of CAP support to become more aware of the relationship between farm management and land management on the one hand, and certain standards, requirements and information, including animal welfare, environmental and climate ones, on the other hand. The list of the latter includes standards applying to or necessary for farmers and other CAP beneficiaries and set in the CAP Strategic Plan, as well as those stemming from the legislation on water, on the sustainable use of pesticides, as well as the initiatives to combat antimicrobial resistance and the management of risks. In order to enhance the quality and effectiveness of the advice, Member States should integrate advisors within the Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS), in order to be able to deliver up-to-date technological and scientific information developed by research and innovation.

Recital 30 a (new)
(30a) Organic farming is developing in many European countries and has a proven track record of delivering public goods, preserving ecosystems services and natural resources, reducing inputs, attracting young farmers and women in particular, creating jobs, experimenting new business models, meeting societal demands, and revitalising rural areas. Yet the growth in the demand for organic products continues to outpace the growth in production. Member States should ensure that their CAP Strategic Plans include objectives to increase the share of agricultural land under organic management in order to meet the increasing demand for organic products, and to develop the entire organic supply chain. Member States may fund organic conversion and maintenance through rural development measures or eco- schemes, or through a combination of both, and should ensure that allocated budgets match the expected growth in organic production.

(32) Member States should be allowed to use part of their financial ceiling available for direct payments for coupled income support in order to improve competitiveness, sustainability, and/or quality in certain sectors and productions that are particularly important for social, economic or environmental reasons and undergo certain difficulties. Support should be conditional on the respect of strict sustainability criteria, including on animal welfare, and animal health. Furthermore, Member States should also be allowed to use an additional part of their financial ceiling available for direct payments to grant coupled income support specifically for the support of protein crop production in order to reduce the Union's deficit in this regard.

(40) In order to ensure a fair income and a resilient agricultural sector across the Union territory, Member States may grant support to farmers in areas facing natural and other area-specific constraints. As regards payments for ANC, the designation of the 2014-2020 Rural Development policy should continue to apply. For the CAP to deliver enhanced Union added on the environment and reinforce its synergies with the financing of investments in nature and biodiversity, it is necessary to keep a separate measure aiming at compensating beneficiaries for disadvantages related to the implementation of Natura 2000 and Water Framework Directives. Support should therefore continue to be granted to farmers and forest holders to help address specific disadvantages resulting from the implementation of Directive 2009/147/EC and Directive 92/43/EEC and in order to contribute to the effective management of Natura 2000 sites. Support should also be made available to farmers to help address disadvantages in river basin areas resulting from the implementation of the Water Framework Directive. Support should be linked to specific requirements described in the CAP Strategic Plans that go beyond relevant mandatory standards and requirements. Member States should also ensure that payments to farmers do not lead to double funding with eco schemes, while at the same allowing enough flexibility in Strategic Plans to facilitate complementarity between different interventions. Furthermore, the specific needs of Natura 2000 areas should be taken into account by Member States in the overall design of their CAP Strategic Plans.

(50) EAFRD should not provide support to investments that would harm the environment, endanger human or animal health or are unable to meet animal welfare requirements. Hence it is necessary to provide in this Regulation a number of exclusion rules, as well as the possibility to further develop these guarantees in delegated acts. Notably, the EAFRD should not finance investments in irrigation which do not contribute towards the achievement, or the preservation, of good status of the associated water body or bodies and investments in afforestation which are not consistent with climate and environmental objectives in line with sustainable forest management principles.

Section 3a - Organic farming Article 13a - Organic Farming Organic agriculture, as defined under Regulation 2018/848, is a certified farming system that can contribute towards multiple CAP specific objectives as laid out in article 6.1 of this Regulation. In view of the benefits of organic farming, as well as its growing demand which continues to outpace the increase of production, Member States shall assess the level of support needed for agricultural land managed under the organic certification. Member States shall include in their CAP Strategic Plans an analysis of the organic sector’s production, of the expected demand, and of its potential to fulfil CAP objectives, and shall set up objectives to increase the share of agricultural land under organic management as well as to develop the entire organic supply chain. Based on this assessment, Member States shall determine the appropriate level of support towards organic conversion and maintenance, either through rural development measures in article 65 or through eco-schemes in article 28, or through a combination of both, and should ensure that allocated budgets match the expected growth in organic production.
