Business benefits of organic farming
Converting to organic farming is a complex business decision, that requires careful consideration and planning.
However, with strong growth in the organic market, the Government voicing their commitment to prioritising organic farming, with the UK’s first funded Organic Action Plan live in Scotland, and public interest in sustainable farming on the rise, there are huge opportunities for farmers looking to meet growing consumer trends for British sustainable food and drink.
Organic farming often results in significantly lower input costs and, in some cases, higher prices for products. In addition, organic farmers can be eligible for financial support, depending on the country in which they are based, helping to improve farm resilience and farm profitability.
