Scenarier för växtföljd i ekologisk växthusproduktion

Summary

With the new EU legislation 2018/848 that entered into force on January 1, 2022, the exemption for cultivation in confined beds in organic production in greenhouses and tunnels disappeared. All production must take place in natural soil , where the soil is in contact with the subsoil. The conversion applies to all cultivation in confined beds, but those who were certified as organic before 28 June 2017 have a deferral of the conversion until 31 December 2031. For all others, the change applies as of 1 January 2022. In addition to the fact that organic production in greenhouses must take place in soil in contact with the bedrock, the new legislation places emphasis on plant diversity and soil fertility. The factsheet displays alternatives for how to proceed with this shift in paradigm.
