The majority of organic meadows and pastures globally are concentrated in Australia, which dominates with 34.62 million hectares in 2024, far ahead of Uruguay and Spain. Over the last two years, Chile experienced significant expansion with a 181.6% increase, while Romania saw 35.06% growth. Conversely, Ireland and Bulgaria faced declines of 6.18% and 22.8%, respectively. The data indicates a diverse range of growth rates across countries, with variations attributed to differing adoption rates of organic agricultural practices.
Looking ahead, factors such as governmental policies, consumer demand, and climate change may influence further expansion in organic meadows and pastures globally. Watch for innovations in sustainable farming practices that could impact growth rates, particularly in European countries, as they adapt to new environmental standards.
