In 2020, we can be a leader in the production of organic food in Europe Every third farm in our country is well placed to deal with the production of organic food. It does so only every hundredth. Potential can not be fully exploited if you do not develop at the same time processing, distribution and promotion of healthy food at home and in foreign markets. Such requests shall be drawn from yesterday's meeting at the Ministry of Agriculture dedicated to organic farming, which was organized by "Cluster Bioprodukt", an association of businesses, farmers, research institutions involved in organic agri-food sector. Waldemar Sadowski, independent consultant and advisor to agriculture, he said that organic crop and animal husbandry farms may occupy an area ranging from 5 to 15 hectares. There are 580,000 in Poland, which is 33 percent. the total number of farms. Sadowski pointed out, that in 2006 we were in fifth place in the world and the second in Europe after Italy, in terms of increase in surface area of \u200b\u200borganic farms. - By 2020, Poland can be a leader in the production of organic foods in the European Union - said Sadowski. According to Sadowski, thanks to ecology we can also ensure greater food security. Such agriculture consumes about 60 percent. less oil and other energy than the traditional. Experts are even over that of organic agriculture and processing to exclude oil, replacing it with biofuels. We would then become independent from high oil prices on world markets. - It is difficult to entrust their food security Putin and the Arab sheiks - Sadowski said. John K. Ardanowski, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, believes that the basic problem in the development of organic agriculture is to develop processing and distribution. It happened in the past that farmers are switching to a production, but had no where to sell it. After such experiences, abandoning their ecology. Now, fortunately, the situation is different, because it works more and more companies, which offer consumers not only preserves, fruit and vegetable juices, but also meats, ready meals and even alcohol. A lot to be desired leaves a promotion, even if traders learn about the Polish healthy food only during international trade fairs. But it is the export allows for abrupt increase in organic production. - We collect information about export opportunities, prepare map of areas of the world where we promote our food - said Deputy Ardanowski. The naturalists emphasize another, pozamaterialny value of organic farming - it is biodiversity. Dorothy Metera, program coordinator of the World Conservation Union on organic farming, she explained, that in Poland, in contrast to Western countries have retained the traditional rural landscape. Poland is known to naturalists as a country, where nests every third European wagtail. But the proof of our biodiversity is a stork, which lives only in areas where there is a lot of insects, rodents and frogs. - In Western Europe in the fields, even where there is organic farming, no insects and birds, as extinct as a result of the use of pesticides and other chemicals - explains Dorothy Metera. Therefore, Poland will strive to EU measures are not only certified organic food, but also biodiversity. It gave us that added advantage in the struggle for European consumers. Chris
