Organic excellence within agri-food value chains is being recognised by a new set of EU-wide accolades. These EU organic awards are conceived as a follow-up to the European Commission’s Action Plan for the development of organic production.
Designed to help raise awareness about organic production and increase demand for organic products, there will be eight different award categories. These are: best organic farmer female; best organic farmer male; best organic region; best organic city; best organic bio-district; best organic SME; best organic food retailer; and best organic restaurant. An award ceremony will be organised to announce the winners on 23 September 2022 EU organic day, and more information can be found on the EU Organic Awards page.
