EU Organic Awards 2024 Ceremony
Description
The EU Organic Awards, which recognise excellence in the organic value chain, will be presented in Brussels on 23 September . They comprise 7 categories and 8 individual awards.
The EU Eco Awards are an opportunity to recognise the work of various actors along the organic value chain who have developed an excellent, innovative, sustainable and inspiring project that produces real added value for organic production and consumption.
The award ceremony will coincide with EU Organic Farming Day and will be attended by representatives of the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions, COPA-COGECA and IFOAM Organics Europe. The winners will have the opportunity to explain their project to the public.
Farm to Table Strategy
Organic production has been identified as playing a key role in achieving the objectives of the European Green Deal, the Farm to Fork Strategy and the Biodiversity Strategy. The Commission also adopted the Action Plan for the Development of Organic Production in March 2021, including the launch of annual awards recognising excellence in the organic value chain.
For this third edition of the EU Eco Awards, any actor or institution along the organic value chain with a noteworthy project was encouraged to apply. Each submitted project had to contribute to increased affordability and/or accessibility of organic products in the EU.
