Organic farming is a sector of European agriculture which has seen a constant growth in recent years. Through this website the European Commission provides all interested citizens with information on how organic farming contributes to the protection of our natural resources, to biodiversity and animal welfare, and how it helps in the development of rural areas. You can use this website as a point of entry to find out about all aspects of the EU’s organic farming policy and download information material such as brochures and flyers. Latest news and upcoming events are listed in a dedicated section of the website. Whether you are a professional in the food sector, a farmer, a school teacher or an interested consumer – we invite you to browse our website and we hope it will provide you with the information you are looking for.
