Resumo: | In 2004, the European Action Plan for Organic Food and Farming was launched. Many European countries have also developed national Organic Action Plans to promote and support organic agriculture.    As part of the EU funded ORGAP project (“European Action Plan of Organic Food and Farming - Development of criteria and procedures for the evaluation of the EU Action Plan for Organic Agriculture”) a toolbox to evaluate and monitor the implementation of national and European Action Plans has been developed.    In order to communicate the results of this project as widely as possible, a practical manual for initiating and evaluating Organic Action Plans has been produced.    This manual has been created to inspire the people, organisations and institutions involved, or with an interest, in the organic food and farming sector to engage in the initiation, review, revision and renewal of regional, national and European Organic Action Plans.    The objectives of the manual are to provide:  • a tool for stakeholder involvement in future Action Plan development and implementation processes at EU, national and regional level  • a guide to the use of the Organic Action Plan Evaluation Toolbox (ORGAPET) developed through the project    The manual summarises the key lessons learnt from more than 10 years experience of development, implementation and evaluation of Organic Action Plans throughout Europe.  The Organic Action Plan Evaluation Toolbox (ORGAPET), which includes comprehensive  information to support the Organic Action Plan development and evaluation process is included with the manual as a CD-ROM, and is also accessible on-line at www.orgap.org/orgapet.  The ORGAP website www.orgap.org provides a further information on the project  and the European and national organic action plans.
