From 2024 to 2028, the area of UK arable land converted to organic farming is forecasted to decline steadily, starting from 130.42 thousand hectares and reaching 122.01 thousand hectares. Comparing to the level in 2023, this represents a diminishing trend of approximately 2 percentage points annually. The compound annual growth rate over this period indicates a consistent contraction in organic arable land conversion.

• Growing consumer demand for organic products, potentially impacting conversion rates.
• Technological advancements that may enhance the feasibility and attractiveness of organic farming.
