From a niche concept to a proven sustainable practice, organic farming has come a long way over the years. The European Parliament has highlighted that the EU could reduce its emissions with organic farming. Studies also show that organic lands have 30 % more biodiversity than conventional ones (European Commission, 2021). To build on these key benefits, the EU action plan on organic production set an ambitious target: 25 % of EU farming should be organic by 2030.
