Abstract

Despite the growing popularity of organic farming and its sustainability benefits, obstacles hinder widespread adoption. This study uses the Transformative Innovation Policy framework to explore strategies from leaders among 190 countries for promoting organic farming. We conducted a correspondence analysis of organic farming policy documents from the chosen nations, which were influenced by socio‐economic conditions, industrial specialisations and institutional cultures. We utilised directed qualitative content analysis of key players' policy documents, focusing on metrics such as the extent of land dedicated to organic farming, the number of organic producers and the proportion of the total agricultural area allocated to organic farming. The findings reveal the presence of transitional and mission‐oriented policy approaches at the policy plan level, yet the currently enacted legislative measures need to be revised to motivate significant progress.
