Global-scale challenges such as climate change, the sustainable use of natural resources, and environmental degradation have made it imperative for countries to restructure their agricultural policies. In this context, the expansion of organic farming and the increase in organically cultivated land hold significant importance in terms of both environmental and economic impacts. The primary aim of this study is to comprehensively analyze the economic and environmental effects of expanding organic farming practices. The research focuses on two Northwestern European countries— the Netherlands and Denmark—both of which have advanced agricultural policies and high levels of public awareness and implementation in the field of organic agriculture. In this study, economic and environmental impacts are evaluated in detail within the agricultural sector. The analysis also includes product- and product group–level assessments, enabling inferences about each country’s potential in organic agriculture and their positioning in international trade. The core methodological framework of the study is based on input–output analysis. This approach not only allows for the evaluation of the effects of organic farmland expansion on the agricultural sector but also facilitates an assessment of its broader economic implications across related sectors. The economic impacts are examined through indicators such as economic growth and supply increases at both national and sectoral levels, while environmental impacts are assessed based on greenhouse gas emissions. The findings reveal that the expansion of organic farming supports environmental sustainability and may lead to notable structural transformations in the economic system.
