Ireland is almost bottom of the pile in the EU-28 when it comes to the percentage of land devoted to organic production. Just 1.8% of all agricultural land in this country is used for organic farming, according to figures from IFOAM, the European umbrella organisation for organic food and farming. This puts it equal to Romania as having the second-lowest percentage of land in organic production. Only the island of Malta has less organic land at 0.3% (61ha).
