The data displays the average size of organic farms in Finland from 2010 to 2017. Over the survey period, the average size of organic farms increased annually. According to the preliminary figures and estimations, the average size of organic farms was projected to total to nearly 57 hectares per farm by the end of 2017. 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.
