The data displays the number of organic farms in Finland from 2010 to 2017. Over the survey period, the number of organic farms fluctuated. According to the preliminary figures and estimations, the number of farms was expected to amount to over 4,600 by the end of 2017. This would indicate an increase of approx. 700 farms compared to the year 2010. In Finland, cold winters limit crop production potential but decrease the need for pesticides. Due to rainfall during summer months, irrigation is needed only occasionally.
