EU organic farming has grown significantly, reaching 9.1% of agricultural land in 2020. The sector shows economic, environmental, and social benefits. CAP support and research drive further expansion, aiming for 25% organic land by 2030. Challenges include yield gaps and market development.
EU food quality schemes (PDO, PGI, TSG) protect and promote products with specific qualities linked to geographical origin or traditional production methods. These labels inform consumers, add value to products, and protect EU gastronomic heritage globally, playing a key role in trade negotiations.
The EU organic logo guarantees F&B products meet strict organic standards. It represents environmentally friendly farming, high animal welfare, and limited use of chemicals. This logo helps consumers identify genuine organic products across the EU, supporting ethical food production.
