The root crops area in Italy, fully converted and under conversion to organic farming, is expected to increase from 4.42 thousand hectares in 2024 to 5.32 thousand hectares in 2028. This marks an average annual growth rate of approximately 4.7% across these five years. Prior to these forecasted years, the 2023 area stood at a lower level, indicating a consistent trend towards greater organic farming adoption.
