It shows that the EU’s use of organic agricultural land has almost doubled in recent years; Europe now has 27% of the world’s organic agricultural land, while North America has just 7%.
Austria, Sweden and Estonia have the highest proportion of organically farmed land in Europe, with 19%, 17% and 16%, respectively.
