Organic farming is an essential approach to agriculture that seeks reduce the negative impact of human activities on environment and ensure sustainability food production. The study aims determine integral index development organic create a clustering model in European countries. As research methodology, additive-multiplicative convolution was used development. Cluster analysis (the Ward method k-means method) identified respective clusters. integrated based eight indicators from Eurostat database, 2012–2020, ranges zero one. following countries have highest value index: Italy (0.57), France (0.54), Spain Germany (0.45), Turkey (0.47). Three clusters were according agriculture. first cluster includes countries-leaders agricultural territories (about 2.1 million hectare) with state financial support for (1.1 billion euros). second most minor operators (50-100 operators). third annual income sale farm products (200-220 points) but level usage dangerous pesticides (250 points). heterogeneity allows one strengths weaknesses

In compliance with European Regulation (EC) 2018/848, organic farming practices necessitate the use of organically produced seeds when available. When suitable cannot be sourced, farmers may seek an exemption permitting non-organic seeds. This study examines data from German national seed database to assess trends in crop varieties originating both and conventional production. Findings reveal that diversity cultivars is expanding across 15 17 analyzed crops. Correlation analysis suggests as availability cereal rises, recorded database, demand for derogations decreases, vice versa. positive development sector implies are adapting their response supply multiplied available through database. Nevertheless, challenges such diseases production limitations multiplication can lead deficits, which subsequently result increased derogation requests following year. The findings underscore importance ensuring robust increase supply, leading higher adoption a reduction contributes understanding impact on farmer behavior highlights need further strengthening facilitate full regulations.
