Sponsor and support us

Why support us?

Organic agriculture is constantly expanding.

In 2020, the EU’s total area of farmland under organic production grew to 14.9 million hectares. Compared to 2019, the number of organic producers in the EU increased by 1.6% to 349,499. A significant growth of the EU’s organic retail market accompanies this development, marked by a record growth of 15.1%, reaching 44.8 billion EUR.

IFOAM Organics Europe represents the organic market in European policymaking. It makes sure that this growth is based on the four principles of organic agriculture: health, equality, fairness, and care, and that the production chain is transparent.
