The Global Organic Survey 2008 • Since 2000 the global organic survey is carried out by FiBL, IFOAM and SÖLsupported by Nürnberg Messe, since 2008 also by ITC and SECO • Data provided by country experts, including representatives from NGOs, certification bodies, governments, researchers • Data of 31.12.2006 • Data from 135 countries • Land use information for almost 90 % of the world‘s organic land, varying levels of data depth though. • Main results as well as other information on the current status of organic farming published in the book ‚The World of Organic Agriculture‘ (FiBL/IFOAM and Earthscan)
Global Organic Agriculture 2006: Key data • 30.4 million hectares of agricultural land are managed organically • 12.3 million hectares are in Australia • Almost 30 % of the agricultural land in Liechtenstein are organic • During 2006: Growth in all continents
Development of organic and in-conversion land area 2000-2007 • In 2006 the organic/in-conversion area grew by 1.8 million hectares • Largest growth in Europe and Oceania • Major growth expected to have happened in 2007

Current trends • The organic/in-conversion grape area has grown considerably since 2004 • There is a trend for large wine estates to convert (e.g. Germany, New Zealand) • The share of the organic/in-conversion grape area, however, tends to be lower than that of organic farming general; possible reasons: • production based problems, • direct payments not high enough, • in Northern Central Europe: Competition from Southern countries. • There are signs of a strongly growing market for organic wine in many countries, triggered by a generally growing interest in organic products and growing demand (particularly in Europe and North America)
