In 2023, France led the European utilised agricultural area fully converted and under conversion to organic farming with a significant share, followed by Spain and Italy. While Portugal and Romania demonstrated remarkable year-on-year growth rates of over 30% and 18%, Sweden and Iceland experienced declines, highlighting regional variability. Over the past five years, growth rates indicated steady increases, particularly in Luxembourg and Malta, despite some declines in Eastern Europe.
