Search EUROPA Increased consumer awareness of food safety issues and environmental concerns has contributed to the growth in organic farming over the last few years. Although it only represented around 3 % of the total EU utilised agricultural area (UAA) in 2000, organic farming has in fact developed into one of the most dynamic agricultural sectors in the European Union. The organic farm sector grew by about 25 % a year between 1993 and 1998 and, since 1998, is estimated to have grown by around 30 % a year. In some Member States, however, it now seems to have reached a plateau. Organic farming has to be understood as part of a sustainable farming system and a viable alternative to the more traditional approaches to agriculture. Since the EU rules on organic farming came into force in 1992, tens of thousands of farms have been converted to this system, as a result of increased consumer awareness of, and demand for, organically grown products. The sustainability of both agriculture and the environment is a key policy objective of today's common agricultural policy (the 'CAP'): 'Sustainable development must encompass food production alongside conservation of finite resources and protection of the natural environment so that the needs of people living today can be met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.'
