One of the main objectives of the European Commission's Farm to Fork (F2F) Strategy is to increase the share of agricultural land under organic farming to 25%. However, achieving this goal depends on several factors. Organic farming, in fact, differs from conventional farming in several aspects, including management practices, productivity, and risk exposure. This study adopts a dynamic approach that simulates farm-level decisions, explicitly distinguishing between the conversion and maintenance phases, and analyzing scenarios where organic farming expansion is incentivized by larger budgets. The objective is to estimate the financial support required to meet these targets, assuming that higher budgets encourage conversion. The study employs AGRITALIM, an agro-supply economic model based on microeconomic data, able to provide results at the farm-level.
