* In-conversion refers to farm land in the process of converting to full organic farm use. Furthermore the source states: 'In most cases land must be managed organically for a minimum of two years (three years for top fruit orchards) before it is granted approved 'organic' status and is eligible for organic certification. Producers can then sell their produce as 'organic' and organic livestock breeding can commence.'
This statistic shows the in-conversion to organic farmland area in the United Kingdom in 2021, by type of usage. As shown on the graph above, permanent pastures covered the largest area of in-conversion land used in the United Kingdom during this period of time at **** thousand hectares. Additionally, separate statistics on the in-conversion land area by region and by year are also available.
