ALPE-ADRIA

'Alpe-Adria' is a bioregion in Central Europe, embracing all of Slovenia, the Austrian states of Carinthia and Styria, and the Italian regions of Friuli-Venezia-Giulia and Veneto. As of 2004, it is the subject of a proposal to create the world's first organic bioregion.
Italy and Austria are leaders in organic farming, both having over 10% organic agriculture as of 2004. Slovenia has far less of its land under organic cultivation, although between 1998 and 2003 their organic sector grew from less than 0.1% of Slovenian agriculture to roughly the European Union average of 3.3%.
