Organic farming
Organic farming is a particularly resource-conserving and environmentally friendly farming system based on the principle of sustainability. With a turnover of 15.87 billion euro in the year 2021, Germany remains the largest market for organic food in Europe.
All organic products produced and sold in the European Union (EU) are governed by the standards defined in EU legislation and are controlled accordingly. Products of this type are labelled with the German organic production logo, which provides reliable guidance for consumers in this area. Moreover, some German organic production associations have standards linked to their own label that even go beyond those prescribed by EU law.
