Sustainability and food security is the biggest challenge a country is facing especially this pandemic period. We’ve witnesseth the rise of organic producers and the number of farmers transitioning from conventional into regenerative practice in the past few years.
The key findings from DEFRA, National Statistics released on the 24th June are:
- Organic land area – 489 thousand hectares are farmed organically in the UK.
- Organic land use – 62% of UK organic land is accounted for by permanent grassland.
- Regional organic land use – 62% of the total UK organic area is in England.
- Organic crops – 9% of the total UK organic area is used to grow cereals.
- Organic livestock – 3.2% of the total UK cattle population is reared organically.
- Organic operators – there are 5.8 thousand organic operators in the UK
We are working with farmers both conventional and regenerative towards achieving sustainable and more nutritious crops. As our minerals have been verified and are permitted for use within Soil Association organic standards, alongside Biodynamics Association UK for producers as fertilizer, we are looking forward to helping more farmers as we go along.
Another milestone for Envirolizer!
Together, we can make a difference!
