Potential for learning or transfer
The competitive format, in which participation in the measurement of organic production is 12 points out of 100 and an increase of 2% in the aid intensity may encourage the increase of organic agribusiness production, although the difficulty of combining conventional and organic production in the same facilities can curb that impulse.
