What is EU Organic Day?
23 September, EU Organic Day, the ideal opportunity to widely celebrate the organic sector and to evaluate Europe’s progress towards achieving its goal of 25% organic land by 2030.
As European organic movement, we celebrate this day and use it to raise awareness of organic and its benefits. For two years, many members joined to celebrating organic online and also organised their own events celebrating in the spirit of organic’s principles of Health, Ecology, Fairness and Care.
Why EU organic Day?
The launch of the annual EU Organic Day follows up on the Action Plan for the development of organic production, adopted by the Commission on 25 March 2021, which announced the creation of such a day to raise awareness of the characteristics and benefits of organic production.
The Action Plan aims at stimulating organic production and consumer demand for organic products, for this reason, together with the EU Organic Awards, the EU Organic Day marks a moment of high purpose for organic in Europe.
