IFOAM Organics Europe is the leading umbrella organization for organic food and farming in Europe. With almost 200 member organizations across 34 European countries, we represent the entire organic food chain. Our mission is to advocate for the transformation of food and farming practices through organic principles.

At IFOAM Organics Europe, we work towards establishing and promoting strict organic regulations in the European Union. We believe in the principle of ‘public money for public goods’ and advocate for agricultural policies that reward farmers for preserving natural resources. Organic farming is at the core of our values, and we prioritize the protection of the collective genetic heritage by remaining GMO-free.

We also focus on organic seed conservation and the evolution of genetic diversity in agriculture. In addition, IFOAM Organics Europe addresses pressing issues such as climate change, plant health care, biodiversity, soil and water conservation, animal welfare, and organic textiles. We strive to create more sustainable food systems and ensure fairness and transparency in the organic supply chain.

As a member-based organization, we offer a diverse range of resources, including research and innovation advocacy, knowledge-sharing, and support for organic youth engagement. We are proud to celebrate 20 years of advocating for the development and integrity of organic food and farming in Europe. Join us in our mission to make Europe more organic by becoming a member, sponsoring our initiatives, or collaborating with us.

Together, we can create a healthier and more sustainable future for food and farming. Contact us to learn more about how you can get involved
