Clearly less organic farming in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
In the North-eastern German state now there is 119,600 hectares of organic farming land. According to Till Backhaus, the Minister of Agriculture for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, on the one hand, the low growers prices are responsible for the decrease, and on the other hand, the revision of the organic farming regulation in the EU has effected this. This has led to a significant amount of uncertainty within the community of growers.
