Regenerative Organic Certified products gain momentum with 60% growth in 2025

This feels like a signal we shouldn’t ignore! > Organic is growing faster than non-organic, with 83% of UK households now buying organic in some form, it’s a clear demand signal > Despite that, UK organic farmland remains stuck at around 3%, showing how slowly supply is responding > There was some progress in England with land in conversion, but this dropped off when the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) closed, highlighting how fragile momentum is > The system is not yet set up to support farmers through transition, even as consumer demand increases > Scotland has an ambition to double its organic farmland > Demand is growing, but policy, incentives and supply chains are not keeping pace > If we want more nature-friendly farming, we need to create the conditions that make it viable for UK growers to transition and stay there 💯💯💯(Fast) https://lnkd.in/e3CScZJx David Burrows Sophie Gregory Paul Lightfoot Alex Cullen

Conventional farm organizations used to dislike us. Today, they support many organic policy measures and much of our messaging around organics because we focused on doing five things: 𝟭. 𝗪𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗲 Our organic farm leaders walked farms together with conventional farm leaders. We listened to their concerns about organic agriculture, and awakened their interest in organic solutions & craftsmanship. We debunked myths along the way. This takes time — and many cups of coffee. But these relationships open minds, lower tensions and create champions and allies for organic in farm organizations. 𝟮. 𝗪𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 We did what researchers call “constructive conflict.” We stood together with conventional farm organizations wherever possible, while standing firm on other areas like pesticides, GMO, antibiotics, animal welfare…. We built collaborative projects to develop organic farming, mobilizing knowledge and talented people within the conventional farm innovation and advisory system. 𝟯. 𝗪𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 In 25 years at Organic Denmark, I think I only spoke about conventional farming 4-5 times, and always when pressed by media or politicians. We used “positive messaging” about what organic farming can do — for biodiversity, environment, clean drinking water and food, better life for animals. Of course this did involve messaging on pesticides for example, and some farm leaders found this less than “positive.” But we didn't point fingers. This helped keep more farm organizations and political parties open to growing organics. 𝟰. 𝗪𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 There is no question that Organic Denmark’s success in growing the market for organic food got conventional farm organizations attention. As did the organic premiums going to organic farmers. We made great efforts to be sure that these breakthroughs got attention in agricultural media and conferences. 𝟱. 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗺 Agriculture is having great difficulty living up to society’s demands to lower nitrogen pollution, reduce pesticide use, and cut climate emissions. So it just made sense to support the inclusion of organic in policy measures — and support new goals and funding for organics — because we do a lot of the heavy lifting on those targets! I remember the day that conventional farm lobbyists realized that they would benefit if they stopped fighting the science on organics and accepted how much organic delivers on public goals. These five elements created a shift in mindset from “organic farmers as the enemy” to “organic farmers as colleagues.” Build allies instead of enemies. Wherever possible. And keep organics on the offensive!

In early March, organic farmers from across Canada gathered in Ottawa with Canadian Organic Growers (COG) for two days of meetings with Members of Parliament, Senators, and federal officials. Discussions with Parliamentarians and officials at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada centred on recommendations from COG’s Organic Task Force report, Cultivating the Organic Opportunity for Canadian Farmers and Consumers, and the sector’s Organic Action Plan 🌱 Pictured is Senator Robert Black, Deputy Leader of the Canadian Senators Group, meeting with André Houle of Ferme Houle Farm, Sébastien Gauthier of Les Fermes Binki and Marianne Bergeron of Coop Agrobio.⁠ 🙌 Many thanks to Senator Black for taking time to have such a meaningful conversation with André, Sébastien and Marianne. ⁠ Learn more about what was discussed during COG's Hill Days at https://lnkd.in/ehDwUeWF

Soil Association Certification's annual Organic Market Report shows demand for British organic produce is continuing to rise, yet the UK’s ability to supply it remains limited. With only 3% of UK farmland under organic management, the market is still heavily reliant on imports at a time when resilience and provenance matter more than ever.   Amongst farmer's top priorities is the need to strengthen UK organic farming by supporting domestic producers from a policy standpoint, as well as building the evidence base for the benefits of organic to strengthen credibility and consumer trust – and increase consumer engagement.   There are strong indications of what’s possible. In Scotland, organic land increased by 13.2% last year, bolstered by a funded Scottish Organic Action Plan and financial support schemes designed to support farmers in both organic conversion and maintenance. This demonstrates how coordinated policy and market alignment can accelerate sector growth and strengthen domestic supply.   Soil Association continues to build a growing evidence base for organic and highlight the opportunities for organic farmland to grow in line with the market for organic food, as well as continuing to work with government and partners to get an English Organic Action Plan over the line.   To find out more about the state of UK organic farming, download the report: https://bit.ly/4t9kAyO

A new window of opportunity is opening for organic farming in Poland 🇵🇱🌿🍏 For many organic growers, the challenge has never been commitment. The challenge has been the limited toolbox available for managing crop quality, plant condition and more stable commercial results under organic standards. That is why this development matters. Silver Mix® has now been officially recognized by IUNG-PIB as suitable for use in organic farming in Poland. The certificate is dated 02.03.2026, and the product has been entered into the official list under NE/944/2026. This is more than a formal approval. It is a meaningful step for professional eco-growers, orchard managers, fruit producers and horticultural farms looking for more modern, science-based foliar tools within organic production systems. Poland is one of Europe’s key fruit-growing countries. So when the organic sector gains access to better-qualified nutritional tools, it is not just a product story — it is a market signal. 🌍 In practice, organic production has often had to compete with fewer effective crop-management options, which could mean weaker consistency in appearance, uniformity or marketable quality. With solutions such as Silver Mix®, the gap between organic ambition and commercial performance can begin to narrow. 🍐📈 Available through the Agrosimex network in Poland, Silver Mix® now becomes a more relevant tool for growers who want organic programs to be not only compliant, but also stronger, more predictable and more competitive. 🧪✅ And this is only the beginning. We continue working to open similar opportunities in other EU countries — with a clear goal: to give organic growers better tools and help raise the quality standard of eco-production across Europe. 🇪🇺🌱 Buy in Poland: https://lnkd.in/e5t8b_m6 Follow our LinkedIn page for more orchard insights, field updates and practical recommendations for modern fruit growing and sustainable agriculture. 🌍 #OrganicFarming #Poland #EcoFarming #Orchards #FruitGrowing #Agrosimex #SilverMix #SustainableAgriculture #PlantNutrition #Horticulture

Global organic growth is moving fast. America isn’t. “Globally, organic acreage is increasing: • In 2022, global organic and transitioning to organic land comprised almost 240 million acres. Australia has the most organic and transitioning to organic acreage (131 million acres), with 97 percent devoted to extensive grazing. • As U.S. organic acreage declined, so has its rank as a top global producer. The United States was ranked ninth for organically managed land in 2022, down from third in 2016.” - Sharon Raszap Skorbiansky; Organic Situation Report, 2025 Edition The infographic shows a clear imbalance for the United States—we lead the world in organic consumption, but trail behind in organic production and farmland conversion. This gap represents both a vulnerability in food supply and a significant opportunity to expand domestic organic and regenerative farming. The Good News: American farmers are being recognized for what they truly are: critical partners in the health, security, and future of our food system. Through the MAHA Commission, the federal government is pairing near‑term food security with long‑term farm modernization—investing heavily in regenerative agriculture, better chemical risk research, and farmer‑driven innovation. With over $1 billion committed to soil health, whole‑farm planning, and new tools that reduce reliance on chemical inputs, the message is clear: - Productivity and stewardship don’t have to compete. - Farmers can do both—and be supported in the process. This is a moment of real opportunity to strengthen American agriculture from the ground up. What would make transitioning toward organic or regenerative systems feel more doable for farmers considering the move?

The Hidden Cost of Non-Organic Produce. calling Macclesfield based peeps to try an organic fruit and veg box from Scoop and Scales Many of you may not even know of Scoop & Scales at ethical supermarket in the heart of Macclesfield. I have a side hustle as their fresh produce manager and want to educate all of you about the benefits of organic fruit and veg and plug our veg boxes. https://lnkd.in/eQPrzijD When you stroll through a supermarket, non-organic fruits and vegetables often seem like the budget-friendly choice. But beyond the lower price tag, there are hidden costs; environmental, health-related, and even economic that aren’t reflected on the shelf label. 1. Environmental Damage Conventional farming relies heavily on synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Over time, this contributes to biodiversity loss and long-term agricultural instability—costs absorbed by communities and future generations. 2. Health Implications Non-organic produce may contain pesticide residues, even after washing. While regulatory agencies set “safe limits,” long-term exposure to chemical mixtures is still being studied. 3. Soil & Nutrient Depletion Conventional monocropping (growing the same crop repeatedly on the same land) can deplete soil nutrients. To compensate, farmers add synthetic fertilizers. This creates a cycle where soil health declines naturally, requiring increasing chemical input to maintain yields. 4. Economic & Social Costs The lower shelf price doesn’t account for: Water treatment costs from agricultural runoff Healthcare costs potentially linked to chemical exposure Government subsidies supporting industrial agriculture Loss of small farms unable to compete with large-scale operations These expenses are often paid through taxes or community impacts rather than at checkout. 5. Wildlife Impact  Pesticide use reduces insect populations, which directly affects birds, amphibians, and other animals that rely on them for food. Aquatic species are especially vulnerable to chemical runoff. Choosing more sustainably grown produce can indirectly support healthier habitats and food chains.

Tearing Down Organic Won’t Cost Them a Thing. It Will Cost You Everything. "There is a profound difference between demanding a better organic system and burning it down with nothing to replace it. When organic farmers lose markets, their farms fail. When their farms fail, they do not come back...Tearing down organic doesn't make anyone’s life better, except the person monetizing the outrage." Area 2 Farms is proud to be USDA certified organic, and are committed to making building up the movement with safety. This is an absolute must read, and once again Max Goldberg nails it on the head 👉 https://lnkd.in/eDzDFf7B
