This study comprehensively analyzed the dynamic landscape of organic farming in the European Union (EU) from 2004 to 2021, investigating the shifts in dedicated agricultural areas influenced by evolving preferences and the priorities of farmers and consumers. Examining the impact of socio-economic factors, including gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, the human development index (HDI), and human population density, this study established multivariate relationships through country-level analyses based on correlations, principal component analysis, cluster analysis, and panel analysis. Despite a universal increase in the organic agriculture areas across all the EU countries during the study period, the production levels exhibited negative correlations with the human population density, GDP per capita, and HDI. Notably, the Baltic countries and Austria led in organic farming production, while Malta, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, and Luxemburg formed a distinct group in the cluster analysis with less intensive organic agriculture per capita. These insights are crucial for supporting the resilience and sustainability of organic farming as it continues to evolve. Predictions of organic agriculture share for 2030 based on trends evaluated using linear regression in the years 2004–2021 estimated about 12% of utilized agricultural area, which was much lower than the target share of the European Commission at 25%. Predictions based on linear regression showed that achieving the European Green Deal target of a 25% share of organic agriculture in unlikely in most EU countries by 2030. The target is only highly probable to be obtained in Austria, Estonia, and Sweden. The EU countries varied significantly across various indices characterizing organic agriculture, including organic agriculture area share. It should be noted that the study was conducted on the data obtained prior to the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, which could potentially alter the previous trends in the development of organic agriculture in the EU.

Sustainable agriculture seeks to balance human nutritional needs with the preservation of environmental quality and the economic viability of agricultural systems. Principles of resource conservation, economic resilience, social equity, and competitiveness underpin this approach. Despite its potential to address crucial issues like food security, energy sustainability, and environmental stewardship, sustainable agriculture faces challenges. These include the scalability of its practices, potential economic constraints in the short term, and the need for significant shifts in policy and consumer behavior. A more explicit definition could encapsulate sustainable agriculture as integrating innovative practices that are environmentally benign, economically feasible, and socially equitable. This encompasses practices that reduce water scarcity, combat soil degradation, and address climate change impacts—crucial steps toward a robust and future-proof agricultural system. By acknowledging these challenges and specifying issues like water scarcity, soil health, and climate change, this abstract presents a balanced view of sustainable agriculture’s role in a sustainable future, highlighting its necessity and the urgent need for integrated efforts to overcome its implementation barriers.

“…Pertanian berkelanjutan, yang mencakup strategi untuk keberlanjutan pertanian dan peningkatan efisiensi penggunaan input tanaman, menjanjikan peningkatan hasil pertanian sambil meminimalkan kerusakan lingkungan (BASHIR et al, 2022). Namun, dampak ekonomi dari praktik pertanian berkelanjutan pada petani buah secara khusus merupakan area yang membutuhkan eksplorasi lebih lanjut (Simin et al, 2023).…”

Penelitian ini menyelidiki interaksi yang kompleks antara metode pertanian organik, penggunaan pupuk hayati, dan hasil yang diperoleh petani buah di Jawa Timur. Dengan menggunakan pemodelan persamaan struktural, kami menganalisis hubungan antara variabel-variabel utama, yaitu, Metode Pertanian Organik, Penggunaan Pupuk Hayati, Kualitas Hasil Panen, dan Keuntungan Bisnis Petani. Hasilnya menunjukkan hubungan positif yang signifikan antara adopsi metode pertanian organik dan penggunaan pupuk hayati dengan peningkatan keuntungan bisnis dan kualitas hasil panen yang lebih tinggi. Temuan ini memberikan wawasan berharga bagi para pembuat kebijakan, pemangku kepentingan pertanian, dan petani buah yang mencari praktik-praktik yang berkelanjutan dan layak secara ekonomi. Mendorong adopsi metode organik dan pupuk hayati muncul sebagai strategi yang menjanjikan untuk mendorong kelestarian lingkungan, meningkatkan produktivitas pertanian, dan meningkatkan ketahanan ekonomi petani buah di wilayah tersebut.
