In European comparison, Switzerland’s per capita agricultural area is small
Switzerland, like the Netherlands, is one of the European countries with a small agricultural area per person. The share of the utilised agricultural area that is organically farmed, however, is almost twice the European average. Austria is the leader in organic farming.
Germany and Switzerland imported more food in 2022 than they exported in terms of value. The Netherlands, Poland and Spain, in contrast, stand out as export countries in terms of food.
