What we do
Organic regulations
In the EU, organic farming and production are regulated according to strict rules. As voice for organic, we advocate for a regulation that meets the sector's needs.
CAP and rural development
The CAP should be based on the principle of ‘public money for public goods’, rewarding farmers on the basis of their contribution to preserving natural resources.
GMOs
Organic farming protects the collective genetic heritage by remaining GMO-free.
Organic seeds
Organic farming contributes to the conservation and evolution of genetic diversity in agriculture
Climate change
Organic agriculture, part of the solution to the climate crisis
Plant health care
Plant nutrition
Providing our crops with the nutrients they need while protecting soil, water and air
Plant protection
Plant health care that also promotes the health of crops, ecosystems and humans
Biodiversity, soil, and water
Health and ecology are two of the organic principles. Organic agriculture sustains and enhances soils and biodiversity. It helps to conserve water, store carbon in soils, and does not use synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.
Animal welfare
Animal welfare - key to sustainable productivity, high product quality and ethical responsibility.
Organic textiles
Organic textiles help ensure a more sustainable model for the environment, workers, and farmers. Organic textiles producers limit harmful emissions during textiles creation and processing, protect plant workers’ rights, and inform consumers about the impact of the garments they buy.
Food policy
Advocating for more sustainable food systems and showing how organic can be part of this process is one of the raison d’être of IFOAM Organics Europe.
Fairness and transparency
We work to strengthen the position of more vulnerable actors in the supply in line with the principles of organic farming.
Research and Innovation
Research and Innovation advocacy
By hosting TP Organics' secretariat, we shape research & innovation agendas and build the organic movement's capacity to engage in research and exchange knowledge.
Knowledge for organic
Organic food production is a path of continuous improvement. IFOAM Organics Europe brings knowledge to the organic sector helping it deliver on its principles.
