Sustainable communities

Organic agriculture plays a vital role in creating healthy rural economies and communities, by producing high quality, nutritious food while providing space for recreation, education and community development. Organic farms and food supply chain actors create jobs on-farm and throughout the supply chain, and are committed to fair employment conditions and employee rights. Community-based food systems reconnect consumers with farmers, diversify farm income, revitalise rural economies, reduce food miles and improve food literacy.

Here, tools related to topics like sustainable rural development, agrotourism, education and food security, are featured.
