Priserne er en belønning for topkvalitet i den økologiske værdikæde samt anerkendelse af enestående bidrag i kategorier såsom bedste økologiske landbruger, by, region, fødevareforarbejdende SMV, detailhandler og restaurant/restaurationsvirksomhed. EØSU står specifikt for tre kategorier:
Vinderne vil blive afsløret den 23. september 2025 (EU-dagen for økologi). Økologiske aktører – herunder landbrugere, forarbejdningsvirksomheder, detailhandlere og offentlige myndigheder – opfordres til at ansøge.
Nærmere oplysninger om ansøgningskriterier og ansøgninger findes på Europa-Kommissionens websted. Spørgsmål om de kategorier, som EØSU står for, kan sendes til EUorganicawardsEESC@eesc.europa.eu.
Dette initiativ understøtter EU's handlingsplan for økologi ved at fremme økologisk produktion og forbrugerbevidsthed. (ks)
