From 25 March to 5 June 2022, farms will be able to apply for EU premiums for organic production. The awards, established by the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions, Copa-Cogeca and Ifoam Organics Europe, are seven, will recognise excellence along the biological value chain, and will be attributed to the best and most innovative actors in organic production. "I am proud to see that the EU awards for organic production have become a reality. We have worked hard to ensure that the awards follow on from the establishment of the EU Day for Organic Production, which has been celebrated every 23 September since last year. Organic production plays and will play a key role in the transition to sustainable food systems and we cannot achieve this without the various actors in the organic supply chain. These awards represent a great opportunity to celebrate them, while promoting examples of good practice across the EU. I encourage all stakeholders in the organic sector to apply," said Janusz Wojciechowski, Commissioner for Agriculture.
