Land share of organic farming - Period 2000 - 2018 (MSSD indicator 16)

Organic farming area is unprecedentedly booming (more than x 4 time since 2000, in a majority of countries) but still only covers 3 % of the agricultural land in 2018. Italy, Slovenia and Spain are in the first positions in the Mediterranean region for their share of organic farming, and ranked respectively 8th, 17th and 20th worldwide in terms of proportion of agricultural land used for organic farming. France, Spain and Turkey are among the world’s top ten countries with the highest increase of organic land in 2018.

source_abstract	The evolution of the number of organic farms in the Mediterranean countries, as well as the share of agricultural land used by organic farming. Organic areas: certified organic land/areas that are fully converted as well as land under conversion. “Organic Agriculture is a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people. It relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of inputs with adverse effects. Organic Agriculture combines tradition, innovation and science to benefit the shared environment and promote fair relationships and a good quality of life for all involved."" (IFOAM).
