Between 2012 and 2019, the cultivation of organically grown crops in Europe saw a significant increase of 46%, occupying nearly 13.8 million hectares or 8.5% of the continent's agricultural land, as reported by Eurostat. The countries with the highest percentage of organic agricultural land were Austria, Estonia, and Sweden, each accounting for over 20% of their total agricultural area. The report also highlighted that Sweden was the leading producer of organic cereals and fresh vegetables, while Greece had the highest concentration of cattle in organic farming. Furthermore, organic farm ownership tended to be younger, with twice as many owners under the age of 40 in comparison to conventional farms.
