Organic Farming
Up until 2002, there was a marked increase in the area covered by the Organic Aid Scheme but this has declined since then. Until recently, the bulk of the increase has involved rough grazing, however, the Organic Aid Scheme is now targeted more towards attracting the conversion of arable land, where the environmental benefits of converting to organic land are greater.
