The country reports presented in this section provide a snapshot in time of the prospects in different countries as well as outlining the diversity of European organic farming and markets. This section builds on the information and analysis in Chapter 5, with reports from over 30 countries. The reports begin by summarising the key indicators for 2012, from developments in the area of agricultural land under organic production and the number of different organic operators to the latest information on the organic market and trade. In addition the authors observe the sector’s current highlights and history, key institutions, production base and the market for organic products. The reports also consider the application of organic standards, legislation and logos and public policy and research and advice environment in each country. Finally the authors look at the challenges and outlook for the future as well as sources for finding further information.\ud
