Abstract

The EU’s Farm to Fork strategy aims to create fair, healthy, and environmentally friendly food systems, ensuring universal access to sufficient, safe, nutritious, and sustainable food. Increasing the production and consumption of organic food is considered crucial to achieving these objectives. This study explores the development of organic food in four selected Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. We have observed the variance in the market share of organic products in the retail sector among these countries, with 13, 2.5, 1.73 and 8.9%, respectively (2021 statistics). This highlights a significant gap, with Denmark and Sweden leading in organic food consumption. We seek to understand the reasons behind this disparity by delving into public policies governing organic food strategies in the selected countries. The analysis entails examining multiple policy documents to pinpoint fundamental strategies and significant milestones influencing the development of the organic sector. Our findings indicate that Denmark and Sweden have historically implemented supportive policies, including financial incentives, subsidies, and regulatory frameworks, to promote organic agriculture. Their consistent, credible, comprehensive and coherent governmental policies and long-term commitments offer a stable environment for the organic sector to flourish. They seem to possess extensive distribution networks and better market access for organic products, contributing to the sector’s growth. The accessibility and availability of organic products in retail outlets play a vital role in influencing consumer choices. The paper provides policymakers with valuable insights into how to foster the consumption and production of organic food, not only within the case studies but also in other national contexts.
