Inception Report The Preparatory Survey on the Project for Fisheries Pormotion in Republic of Ghana
Provedor de dados: 20
Autores: Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority.
Challenges the fishing ports of Ghana, notably Sekondi Port include the congestion and the deteriorating efficiency due to the increase of users and decreasing quality of catch due to the shortage and ageing of landing facilities, fish handling sheds and ice-making facilities. The Government of Ghana made a request to Japan for an extension of the wharf, construction of additional breakwater, cold storage and ice-making facility at Sekondi Fishing Port in 2010 in order to overcome these challenges. In response the Government of Japan conducted a survey for the project to promote efficiency and improvement of Ghana's fishery sector. The survey was to examine the need, relevance and urgency of the proposed project.

Zusammen schaffen wir was! - Beschäftigung von Menschen mit Behinderung in der Landwirtschaft
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Kleinheitz, Rebecca; Hermanowski, Robert.
Sie haben noch nie in Erwägung gezogen, einen Menschen mit Behinderung auf Ihrem Betrieb zu beschäftigen? Warum eigentlich nicht? In diesem Leitfaden erfahren Sie, welche Möglichkeiten es gibt, wo Sie finanzielle Unterstützung beantragen können und was Sie beachten müssen. Welche Facetten die Beschäftigung von Menschen mit Behinderung hat, zeigen zusätzlich dreizehn Porträts von ganz unterschiedlichen Betrieben.   So lernen Sie einen Hof kennen, auf dem zwei Männer in der sogenannten psychiatrischen Familienpflege leben sowie Betriebe, die Arbeitsplätze für Beschäftigte einer Werkstatt für behinderte Menschen anbieten. Was allen gemeinsam ist: Die Menschen, die dort arbeiten, sind nicht nur durch ihre Persönlichkeit eine Bereicherung für den Betrieb,...

Konfliktbewältigung in Hofgemeinschaften (am Beispiel von fünf biologisch-dynamischen Hofgemeinschaften)
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Wohlers, Jenifer.
In jeder Gemeinschaft stellt sich die Frage, wie mit zwischenmenschlichen Differenzen, Problemen und Konflikten umgegangen wird. Gerade in Hofgemeinschaften, wo sowohl zusammen gearbeitet als auch gemeinsam gelebt wird, die Ausweichmöglichkeiten also denkbar gering sind, und wo dahinzu noch Menschen mit sehr individuellen Lebenseinstellungen und -vorstellungen zusammenkommen, (wo ein hohes Arbeitspensum und meist eher schwierige ökonomische Verhältnisse herrschen), fällt die Problematik immer wieder auf.   Diese Arbeit befaßt sich mit den Ursachen, den Auswirkungen und dem Umgang mit Konflikten in Hofgemeinschaften. Dazu gehört die Beschreibung dessen, was eine Hofgemeinschaft ausmacht, die Stellungnahmen und Hinweise von Literatur zu dem Thema Konflikt,...

Anforderungen an die Kommunikation von "Werten" ökologischer Lebensmittel
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Zander, Katrin; Hamm, Ulrich; Stolz, Hanna; Stolze, Matthias.
Durch die zunehmende Beliebtheit ökologischer Lebensmittel bei Verbrauchern steigt das Angebot. Gleichzeitig nimmt jedoch auch der Wettbewerb zwischen ökologischen Erzeugern zu. Viele Produkte werden mittlerweile unter Bedingungen erzeugt, die zwar noch den Minimalanforderungen der EU-Öko-Verordnung an die Produktion entsprechen, in denen aber die ursprünglichen Werte der ökologischen Bewegung kaum noch beachtet werden. Diese ursprünglichen Werte bestehen z. B. in fairen Arbeitsbedingungen, in der Integration von benachteiligten Menschen, in besonders artgerechter Tierhaltung oder in der Erhaltung von bäuerlichen Traditionen und den regionaltypischen Landschaften. Eine wachsende Gruppe von Erzeugern und Verbrauchern wünscht sich eine Orientierung des...

Agricultura e biodiversidade nas ciências sociais brasileiras: alimentando a comunicação entre ciência e políticas públicas.
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Carneiro, Maria José; Danton, Thais.
O presente artigo decorre de uma reflexão sustentada em dois pressupostos: a) que as ciências e, em particular, as sociais, podem contribuir para informar as tomadas de decisão e a formulação de políticas públicas visando a melhoria da vida das pessoas no planeta e b) que o papel da agricultura na conservação da biodiversidade é uma questão atual de extrema relevância e que merece ser aprofundada. A relação entre a agricultura e a biodiversidade tem sido objeto de questionamentos recentes na sociedade e no campo das políticas públicas. Contudo, se os estudos relacionados à biodiversidade e à agricultura, separadamente, têm observado um considerável crescimento no Brasil, poucos são os investimentos de pesquisa sobre a relação entre esses dois grandes...

O programa nacional de fortalecimento da agricultura familiar no Brasil: uma análise sobre a distribuição regional e setorial dos recursos.
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Azevedo, Francisco Fransualdo; Pessôa, Vera Lúcia Salazar.
No Brasil, as políticas públicas para o espaço rural sempre tenderam a priorizar a agricultura patronal, em detrimento dos agricultores familiares. Todavia, os estudos realizados pelos órgãos FAO - INCRA deram subsídio para a criação do Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento da Agricultura Familiar (PRONAF), resultando em um novo direcionamento dos investimentos públicos, os quais passaram a contemplar o segmento dos agricultores familiares. Entende-se o PRONAF como uma política não-compensatória, que, apesar de seus problemas, tem contribuído de fato para mudanças e melhorias no espaço agrário brasileiro. Desde sua criação no final da década de 1990, o PRONAF passou por várias mudanças em sua estrutura administrativa e operacional, a fim de alcançar seus...

Danish case report: The Danish Food Communities
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Kjeldsen, Chris; Noe, Egon; Laursen, Klaus Brønd.
The Food Communities was chosen as a case for HealthyGrowth because they constitute a major novelty within the Danish foodscape. As indicated in section 3, the Food 2 Communities have emerged as the latest incarnation of a series of attempts to forge alternative food networks operating beyond the supermarket system. Denmark is distinguished by a large market share of organic food being sold via supermarkets, but The Food Communities are a novelty due to two factors, (1) they have experienced a rapid growth since the outset in 2010, and (2) they are organised in a decentralised manner, where they continue to split up the network in chapters, each operating within their distinct local area. The Food Communities are a predominantly urban phenomenon.

Autores: Assis, Renato Linhares de.
A agricultura organica tem sido citada recentemente por um numero cada vez maior de pessoas como uma opção viavel ao modelo agricola atual, o qual tem provocado sérios problemas ambientais e para saude humana. No entanto, pouco se tem observado como se da o processo de adocao deste sistema de producao por agricultores e consumidores para que se possa difundi-lo cada vez mais. A partir de entrevistas com produtores organicos fluminenses, procedeu-se a uma analise do processo de adocao deste tipo de agricultura e das dificuldades para sua difusao no Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Verificou-se que os agricultores entrevistados, possuidores de forte posicionamento ideologico, funcionam como importante vanguarda no processo de difusao, o qual, para ser incrementado...

Energy production and energy use in organic agriculture (OA) need to be addressed in order to reduce the reliance on non-renewable fossil fuels and minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Thus, there is an obligation to find consensus between the apparent opposing aims of renewable (bio) energy production and soil fertility in OA. This project aims at designing and evaluate a combined concept for biomass and bio-energy production in OA, while considering soil fertility.

Rentabilität und Lebensqualität auf Bio-Milchviehbetrieben:  ein Paradoxon?
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Strauss, Agnes; Kirner, Leopold; Neumayr, Christoph; Quendler, Elisabeth.
This study examines a possible relationship between the economic key data of dairy farms and the family members’ subjective assessment of their perceived quality of life. Seven organic dairy farms were evaluated as part of the on-going project, “Integrative assessment of ecological, economic and social-ethic characteristics of sustainability of agricultural production systems in dairy farming”. Total costs, entrepreneurial profit and return on labour were chosen as key data for rentability. Job satisfaction, wealth in time and health were selected to describe the quality of life. The results confirm that bigger farms with more dairy cows operate more cost efficiently, but the farm with the most dairy cows was not the most successful economically. It was...

Preisstrategien zur Steigerung der Wertschöpfung in der Biomilch Wertschöpfungskette
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Hellberg-Bahr, Anneke; Pfeuffer, Martin; Brümmer, Bernhard; Spiller, Achim.
In recent years, growing price volatilities in the milk market have triggered a discussion about fair prices in agricultural supply chains. Given the increasing complaints by German farmers, agricultural organizations and politicians reached the conclusion that farmers felt unfairly treated due to their dissatisfaction with the current prices for agricultural products. In the context of this discussion the question arose of what fair and innovative pricing systems in the German organic milk supply chain might be. Results of scanner data analysis and a survey of 531 farmers lead us to recommend a supplier oriented fair pricing system including fairness communication to consumers (fair distribution of margins).

Heute sind die unterschiedlichsten Akteure im Biosektor aktiv. Auch ihre (oft unbewussten) Antriebe und Wertorientierungen im Biolandbau sind sehr unterschiedlich.. Dies führt zu Spannungen.  Für viele Menschen im Biolandbau verliert ihre Lebensform an Lebensqualität, weil sie mit der Anpassung an äussere Ansprüche ihre eigentlichen Werte und ihren inneren Kompass verlieren. Dies führt zu einer Sinn- und Zukunftskrise in der biologischen Landwirtschaft  Hier sind tragfähige und glaubwürdige Zukunftsperspektiven und Umsetzungswege gefragt. Ziel des Workshops mit ForscherInnen und BeraterInnen ist erstens, die eigene innerliche Basis zu reflektieren und die eigenen Wertkonflikte vorzubringen.

Wenn die Schweiz darauf verzichtet, genmanipulierte Pflanzen in die Umwelt freizusetzen, so ist dies vor allem auch eine grossartige Marktchance für die Schweizer Landwirtschaft. Denn Gentech-food ist out, in ganz Europa. Die Schweiz könnte dann das liefern, was eine große Mehrheit gerne möchte: naturnahe und gentechfreie Lebensmittel.  Die Frage ist bloß: Kann sich die Schweizer Landwirtschaft einen Verzicht auf Gentechnik leisten? Dieser Frage ist die Studie "Zukunftsmodell Schweiz - eine Landwirtschaft ohne Gentechnik?" nachgegangen. Untersucht wurden die sechs Kulturen Kartoffeln, Weizen, Mais, Raps, Salat und Reben.  Gentechnische Lösungsansätze und die wichtigen Anbauprobleme der Schweizer Landwirtschaft sind sehr oft nicht deckungsgleich. Die...

Autores: Lima, Ronaldo Guedes de.
A caminhada recente da transição agroambiental na região tradicionalmente produtora de fumo do RS, a sub-região centro do Vale do Rio Pardo, constitui-se, hoje em dia, em uma alternativa técnica e socioeconômica, aparentemente, ainda nos seus primórdios. As dificuldades em desenvolver o projeto da transição embasado nas referências agroecológicas partem, essencialmente, do contexto da economia agrícola local à base da cadeia do fumo. A histórica produção fumageira local tem-se preservado economicamente dominante, por conta das garantias comerciais da produção dos agricultores, dentre outras vantagens oferecidas pelo sistema de integração. Por outro lado, o sistema de produção verticalizado produz indicadores sociais e ambientais ineficazes, devido,...

Systemic Sustainability of the French Organic Rice and PGI Einkorn Value Chains: A Preliminary Assessment Based on Network Analysis
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Quiédeville, Sylvain; Bassene, Jean-Baptiste; Lançon, Frédéric; Chabrol, Didier; Moustier, Paule.
Public authorities and consumers increasingly support food value chains that are more environmentally friendly. However, these value chains are faced with technical, economic and institutional limitations, calling into question their long-term viability. Based on two case studies of alternative food chains in France, namely einkorn (Triticum monococcum) in Haute Provence and organic rice in the Camargue, we evaluated their capacity to remain both viable and environmentally, economically and socially sustainable. After assessing the traditional economic, social and environmental performance of their sustainability, we performed a network analysis to determine the survivability of the systems. The combined use of the traditional pillars of sustainability and...

In Northern Vietnam differing management of PGS systems can determine their level of social and ecological success, as well as the impressions of farmers and retailers. Nevertheless, more farmers’ groups are turning to individual management and this may have negative consequences for the future of PGS in the region.

Økologiske brug skaffer indtægt fra mange slags aktiviteter
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Frederiksen, Pia; Langer, Vibeke.
Økologisk jordbrug dækker over en række forskellige strategier for levevis og produktion. Strukturudvik-ling og øgede bedriftsarealer er en realitet også for økologiske jordbrug, men andre måder til at sikre indtægten er fremherskende for store dele af økologerne.     Herudover foregår der en lang række aktiviteter på bedriften udover selve fødevareproduktionen. Nogle af disse bidrager væsentligt til økonomien, andre har kun en lille økonomisk betydning. De økologiske jordbrug bidrager således til landdistriktsudviklingen, såvel ved sikringen af en fortsat bosættelse på landet, som ved en række aktiviteter, der formentlig kan styrkes ved et fokus på dette.

As múltiplas funções da agricultura familiar: um estudo no assentamento Monte Alegre, região de Araraquara (SP).
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Gavioli, Felipe Rosafa; Costa, Manoel Baltasar Baptista.
A partir da emergência da ideia de sustentabilidade, a agricultura adquiriu novas conotações, associadas não apenas ao aspecto produtivo, mas também à conservação dos recursos naturais e dos territórios rurais, em um reconhecimento de sua multifuncionalidade. Com base nesta noção, que valoriza as funções socioambientais desempenhadas pelas famílias rurais e pelas agriculturas praticadas, o presente artigo analisa um assentamento rural no estado de São Paulo, buscando identificar quais são e de que forma se expressam as funções para além da produção neste território particular. Por meio de uma metodologia de cunho quali-quantitativo, observou-se que, no assentamento em foco, a agricultura encerra em si questões de coesão territorial, manutenção da segurança...

Autores: Høgh-Jensen, Henning; Odgaard, R.; Myaka, F.A.; Sakala, W.D.; Adu-Gyamfi, J.J.; Vesterager, J.M.
Pressure on natural resources implies that millions of farmers in semi-arid eastern and southern Africa face very low and declining crop yields. Major natural constraints are the nitrogen and phosphorus supply together with insufficient and highly variable rainfall. This article addresses the possibilities for improved soil fertility, increased productivity and income opportunities among smallholders in semi-arid eastern and southern Africa through the integration of improved pigeonpea in maize-based cropping systems. Specifically farmers’ experiences with cultivation and integration of pigeonpea in maize-based cropping systems are discussed. This includes how the integration of pigeonpea affects the livelihood situation of rural smallholders – male as...

Does organic supply growth leads to reduced price premiums? The case of salmonids in Denmark1
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Ankamah-Yeboah, saac; ielsen, Max; Nielsen, Rasmus.
Consumers buy organic products to increase utility, while farmers invest in organic production to achieve price premiums. However, investors would like to avoid the risk of falling prices when organic supply increases to maintain profit. We suggest the use of market integration tests between non-stationary price series of organic/conventional products to reveal whether increasing organic supply can be expected to reduce price premiums. Increased organic supply will induce price falls if organic/conventional markets are independent. Organic supply growth will leave price premiums unchanged, if prices move together over time, since conventional supply typically is larger than organic. The method is applied to the Danish market for farmed salmonids....

Soziale Faktoren der Umstellung auf Biolandbau in der Deutschschweiz
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Home, Robert.
The number of organic farms in Switzerland fell between 2005 and 2009, and has remained stable since then. Several studies show that financial arguments should mean that more farms convert to organic production, which means that other reasons inhibit farmers from conversion. In this study, 24 organic and non-organic Swiss farmers were interviewed with the aim of identifying the barriers to conversion and learning how these have been overcome. The results suggest that the structural conditions for conversion are in place but a range of social factors create barriers. These factors include negative attitudes towards organic farming held by family members; problems with mutual acceptance between organic and non-organic farmers; technical reasons such as fear...

Vestlandsjordbruket - tilpasning til klima og landbruk i endring
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Serikstad, Grete Lene; Jørgensrud, Årolilja Svedal.
Rasjonaliseringsprosesser i landbruket påvirker bøndenes sårbarhet og evne til å tilpasse seg klimaendringer. Landbruket i Rauma kommune brukes som eksempel i en analyse av forholdet mellom strukturendringer og klimatilpasning i norsk landbruk. Studien antyder at en utvikling mot større bruk, færre bønder og økt avhengighet av leiejord gjør bønder i Rauma mer sårbare og mindre tilpasningsdyktige til klimaendringer. Det trengs økt kunnskap om samspillseffekter mellom klima- og samfunnsendringer og om konsekvensene for bøndenes tilpasningskapasitet og sårbarhet. Denne type kunnskap er viktig for å møte en usikker fremtid med omfattende sosiale, politiske, agronomiske og klimatiske endringer.

Organic sheep breeding on the Causse Méjan: challenges and drawbacks of organic breeding in a national park in France
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: BLANC, J.
This work highlights the ecological stakes and the drawbacks associated with the development of organic lamb production on the Causse Méjan, a calcareous plateau, part of which is included in the Cévennes National Park (PnC). It analyses the tensions underlying a valorisation project for organic lambs by a small group of stockbreeders that is supported by the national park because of the ecological quality of their practices. On the one hand, since breeders are highly dependent on the ecological characteristics of the environment, they are forced to multiply their marketing channels and to invest a great deal of energy to obtain good prices for their meat whose characteristics do not match the current standards of quality (homogeneity, clear meat). On the...

Durabilité systémique de la filière du riz Camarguais: comparatif et interaction entre la sous-filière bio et conventionnelle
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Quiédeville, Sylvain.
La durabilité de la filière du riz camarguais se pose avec une acuité particulière. Il est surtout question de la suppression récente de l’aide couplée Riz de même que de la future réforme de la PAC. Et la durabilité de la filière se pose en des termes singuliers quant à la « conservation » du territoire camarguais, étant donné le rôle du riz pour la désalinisation des terres.  Nous proposons dans cette étude de rendre compte de la durabilité systémique de la filière du riz camarguais en s’attachant spécifiquement au rôle de l’IGP pour le mode de production conventionnel de même qu’à l’émergence de la sous-filière Bio. L’hypothèse de fond était que la sous-filière Bio soit plus solide que son homologue en conventionnel et qu’elle confère une plus grande...

Analyse empirique des bénéfices non-économiques de l’agriculture biologique : cas des agriculteurs en PACA

Autores: Deneuville, Laurence.
Grâce à une enquête postale auprès de 1278 agriculteurs situés dans la région PACA, nous analysons les bénéfices non économiques de l’agriculture biologique (AB). L’analyse des réponses individuelles (N=267) démontre que pour la majorité de ces bénéfices, une proportion non négligeable des agriculteurs a choisi le niveau élevé. En revanche, la plupart des agriculteurs estiment que leur travail n’est pas reconnu à sa juste valeur par la société et par les autorités publiques. En outre, notre estimation économétrique (modèle probit bivarié)montre que le fait d’être en AB augmente la probabilité que les agriculteurs choisissent des niveaux élevés de satisfaction (personnelle et au travail) et favorise l’autonomie et le sentiment d’être en phase avec ses...

Dem biologischen Landbau haftet das Image an, teure Produkte für eine begrenzte Käuferschicht zu produzieren. Allerdings definiert sich die biologische Landwirtschaft nicht als elitär, und trachtet nach fairen Beziehungen zwischen ProduzentInnen und KonsumentInnen.  Einen Beitrag zur Verständigung zwischen Produktion und Konsum leisten auch Initiativen einer „gemeinschaftlich getragenen Landwirtschaft“. Dabei werden Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten in unterschiedlicher Form an der Produktion beteiligt, sei es durch Gemüseabonnements oder durch die aktive Mitarbeit auf dem Feld. Allerdings hat sich gezeigt, dass auch diese Initiativen insbesondere eine gut gebildete und eher gut situierte Kundenschicht anziehen.   Die Frage ist, wie das Potential des...

Fairness and satisfaction in business relationships: results of a survey among Swiss organic farmers and buyers
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Mühlrath, Daniel; Möller, Detlev; Schumacher, Jörg.
This paper presents results of a standardized online survey among Suisse organic farmers and their buyers on fairness and satisfaction in business relations. A majority of participating Suisse organic farmers and buyers are satisfied with their business relationships. Farmers not only expect their buyers to pay fair prices but also to act consistently, be transparent and invest in good personal relations. Buyers expect their agricultural suppliers to provide high quality products, be reliable and transparent while fair prices are mentioned less frequently. Especially regarding perceived fair payments by business partners, this slightly differing perspective between farmers and buyers can also be observed. Presented measurement items of an adapted...

Organic Marketing Initiatives in Europe

Autores: Sylvander, Bertil; Kristensen, Niels Heine.
In the second half of the 20th century, agriculture in Europe has undergone profound technological change, associated with and to an extent supporting the long post-war economic boom. This process has not gone unchallenged, however; some resistance to the process has come from a growing perception of environmental (and to an extent social) degradation, and some farms and businesses, particularly in Less Favoured Areas, have been simply unable to keep up. For both groups, organic farming has much to offer, and as problems of the CAP have become more apparent such alternatives have been legitimised, and this has been bolstered by growing commitment of consumers who buy organic products to safeguard their health, or make an effective contribution to...

Organic Farming as a Commons for Protecting Water Resources / L’agriculture biologique comme bien commun pour protéger la ressource en eau
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Allain, Sophie.
Today, organic farming is also a provider of public goods, promoted by an increasing number of actors. It may be seen as a “commons”, that has to be shaped and developed by new types of collective commitments to study. Two French experiences in that perspective aiming to protect water resources and led by local authorities have been analyzed. The study shows that the local authority behaves as a facilitator of territorial development plan. It acts through two complementary levers, the control of supply (land and ownership) and demand (institutional catering). Whereas environmental efficiency remains to be proved, the projects rely on an increasing collective mobilization and develop according to their ability for budding and territorial rooting. New modes...

In the field of sustainable development the strategy of sufficiency is often less used in business companies in comparison to the strategies of consistency or efficiency. This is based on the difficult implementation of sufficiency measures in practice. This scientific paper develops an approach how to implement sufficiency in business companies of the organic sector. Wolfgang Sachs’ 4-E-Model has been used, supplemented by the practice of creative methods. Approaches are found in the area of work-life-balance, infrastructure, types of payment and integration of the employees. Also a new impulse for communication and production was developed. These approaches should lead to company-specific methods that can be implemented on the individual business level....

Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar os espaços rurais, tomando como referência o local de moradia e a ocupação da população nos pequenos municípios do Estado do Paraná. A partir dos dados do Censo Demográfico 20003, questiona-se alguns resultados de estudos realizados sobre o rural brasileiro, que tendem a interpretações generalizantes a partir de médias estaduais ou mesmo nacionais. Esta forma, que se entende aqui, subjacente ao “mito das médias”, tende a ocultar um rural diverso e formado, sobretudo por pequenos municípios com população predominantemente rural, composta por trabalhadores agrícolas, camponeses e agricultores familiares, residentes no espaço agrário onde desenvolvem atividades agrícolas.

La certificación ecológica como instrumento de revalorización de lo local: los Sistemas Participativos de Garantía en Andalucía
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Cuéllar Padilla, Mamen.
The procedures established to build confidence in the organic sector significantly condition its trends, promoting some types of visions while marginalizing or rendering invisible others. Participatory Guarantee Systems are credible mechanisms that break with the established formal logic of certification by a third party. Constructed from networks of production and consumption, they seek to turn the need for credibility into a collective processes of mutual education, group identity and, ultimately, local rural development. The pillars of these processes are established by working on a small scale, by the convergence between production and consumption revitalizing the local economy, and by traditional and endogenous knowledge associated with managing...

Percepção agroambiental dos agricultores familiares no sudoeste do Paraná: o caso de Capanema.
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Nascimento, Humberto Miranda do.
Até que ponto um maior discernimento dos agricultores familiares em relação a questões ambientais contribui de fato para reduzir as vulnerabilidades ambientais? A percepção agroambiental do agricultor familiar acerca do recrudescimento do processo degradação dos solos revela que, por causa do forte incentivo às culturas de exportação, foi gerada uma contradição entre a necessidade de divisas para o país e a sustentabilidade da agricultura familiar. O objetivo do artigo é analisar a percepção agroambiental do agricultor familiar por meio do estudo de caso do município de Capanema, vizinho ao Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, situado na Região Sudoeste do Estado do Paraná. Como metodologia, realizamos um Diagnóstico Agroambiental para captar a percepção de trinta...

Autores: Dias, José Eduardo; Abboud, Antônio Carlos de Souza; Guerra, José Guilherme Marinho; Salles, Rodrigo dos Reis; Ferreira, Vagner Gonçalves; Silva, Jorge Xavier da.
The objective of this paper is to study in detail the land use and plant cover of an Integrated Agroecological Production System (IAPS) from 2003 through 2005. Four quarterly updating visits were performed on the 26 land units of the System from January 2003 to December 2005. Cartographic documents and QuickBird satellite images were also used to generate the final index maps for agrodiversity, fallow intensity and green manure use intensity. A high diversity of crops was observed. In some land units up to 40 plant species were recorded. However, this diversity was not uniformly distributed throughout the terrain. A high intensity of land use, mostly with annuals was also observed in a large part of the area. In most cases, fallow periods were up to 3...

Die Bedeutung des ökologischen Landbaues für die Gesellschaft

Autores: Oppermann, Rainer.
Anlässlich der gemeinsamen Sitzung von Kuratorium und Vorstand der Agrarsozialen Gesellschaft e.V. am 21. März 2002 referierte Dr. Rainer Oppermann zur Bedeutung des Ökologischen Landbaus für die Gesellschaft. Seiner Ansicht nach ist es keine Frage, dass der ökologische Landbau eine feste Größe in der Landwirtschaft ist und dass die Entwicklung eines Wirtschaftsbereichs, der im Jahr 1980 449 Betriebe zählte und heute bei rund 15000 Betrieben angekommen sein dürfte, insgesamt als Erfolgsgeschichte zu bezeichnen ist.

Autores: Schick, Alissa; Helmle, Simone.
Alternative way of live, self-determination and autonomy were key words characterising  organic oriented farmers in the past. It seems that such values were part of organic  pioneers’ personal identity at a time when organic farming was not well accepted in  politics and society. However, what can we learn from these pioneers’ experiences  and their particular ways of interpreting social life, overcoming critical life phases and  farm development? Based on the theories of social change and social movements 13  semi-structured interviews with farmers practising organic-farming over a period of  approximately 30 years were conducted. The autobiographical reports reveal that the  willingness to create something new, perseverance and stress tolerance are among...

Økologisk fiskeopdræt er en god investering – prisgevinsten holder
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Nielsen, Max.
Det er muligt for ørredopdrætterne at opnå en prisgevinst.  Robustfish fandt, at den højere pris på økologisk ørred har været stabil over længere tid, også når udbuddet er steget. Det er derfor sandsynligt, at prisgevinsten fremover vil forblive stabil. Med denne nye viden kan investeringen i en omlægning foretages med lidt mere ro i maven, selvom prisen stadig vil variere. Den overordnede prisudvikling afhænger nemlig af udbud og efterspørgsel efter konventionel ørred, da markedsandelen for økologisk ørred er lille.

Autores: Patoju, Sri Krishna Sudheer.
India achieved self-reliance in food production in the shortest span of time in the World, but despite everything, her traditional agrosystem suffered a great setback, especially owing to the indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides and herbicides. This has also lead to erosion of soil fertility, contamination of water resources, and chemical contamination of food grain. In addition to this, India has shown interest on the Genetically Modified Crops (GM Crops) like Bacillus Thurungensis (Bt) cotton etc. which are highly hazardous to the environment and also increased her dependence on the foreign seed companies like Monsanto. Of late, many advanced countries like the USA, Switzerland, Australia, Western Europe etc evinced...

Existe uma distinção relevante entre valores cognitivos e sociais?

É útil trabalhar com um modelo das práticas de pesquisa científica segundo o qual existem três momentos-chave nos quais é preciso fazer escolhas, a saber, os momentos de: (i) adotar uma estratégia (ou regras metodológicas), (ii) aceitar teorias e (iii) aplicar o conhecimento científico. Os valores sociais podem ter papéis legítimos e importantes no primeiro e no terceiro momentos, porém não no segundo, quando apenas os valores cognitivos e os dados empíricos disponíveis têm papéis essenciais. A distinção entre valores cognitivos e valores sociais é necessária para sustentar este modelo e, portanto, para apoiar a visão de que o conhecimento científico imparcial pode ser o resultado de um processo influenciado por valores sociais, e também para indicar como...

Maintaining Trust and Credibility in a Continuously Evolving Organic Food System
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Thorsøe, Martin H.
Credibility is particularly important in organic food systems because there are only marginal visual and sensorial differences between organic and conventionally produced products, requiring consumers to trust in producers’ quality claims. In this article I explore what challenges the credibility of organic food systems and I explore how credibility of organic food systems can be maintained, using the Danish organic food system as a case study. The question is increasingly relevant as the sale of organic food is growing in Denmark as well as globally, and consumers’ expectations of organics continuously evolve. The inquiry is threefold, first I outline a conceptual framework for understanding trust and credibility in the food system, secondly I explore the...

The paper explores whether an organic control system could include elements of an improvement standard as compared to the current minimum requirement standards. It is based on a review of rules of organic certification and of literature. The discussion explores whether an approach of agreeing individual improvement targets between operator and certification body could allow the consideration of some areas of the organic principles that are currently not audited in the form of minimal certification requirements. Such a system would allow the determination of whereof whether an operator is on the way to making improvements and strengthen operators’ responsibility.

Conservation practices are important in improving the environmental protection of agroecosystems in semiarid regions, as these are considered to be fragile environments. Soil-quality indicators are useful elements in evaluating the impact of some agricultural management practices, and the use of recognized indicators which are able to be measured by farmers is an innovative approach that seeks to integrate both scientific and local knowledge. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of various management practices through indicators of soil quality related to soil structure, in areas of family farming where agroecological consortiums are employed. These indicators were identified as important by the farmers themselves, and methodologies were suggested for...

Linking Research and Policy: Assessing a Framework for Organic Agricultural Support in Ireland
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Duram, Leslie A.; Clavin, Daniel; Bloom, Shauna M.
This paper links social science research and agricultural policy through an analysis of support for organic agriculture and food.  Globally, sales of organic food have experienced 20% annual increases for the past two decades, and represent the fastest growing segment of the grocery market.  Although consumer interest has increased, farmers are not keeping up with demand.  This is partly due to a lack of political support provided to farmers in their transition from conventional to organic production. Support policies vary by country and in some nations, such as the US, vary by state/province.  There have been few attempts to document the types of support currently in place.  This research draws on an existing Framework tool to investigate  regionally...

Homegardens in Uganda. Diversity and Potential
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Whitney, Cory W.; Gebauer, Jens.
Ugandan homegarden systems are sustainable small-scale solutions for food security and conservation containing a great diversity of native plant species and preserving the associated time-tested traditional knowledge for nutrition and conservation. Furthermore, the people of Uganda have a diversity of uses for these native species. However, these systems and traditions are under threat for a variety of reasons. Organic may hold some of the keys for the revitalization of these oases of diversity and culture. The organic markets in Uganda now sell only a few species but can embrace the great diversity through increasing access to organic markets for more small producers and indigenous plant species.

The social dimension of sustainable agriculture: Swedish farmers’ social conditions today and tomorrow
Provedor de dados: 21
The preconditions for farming is constantly changing together with society at large. Many Swedish farmers give up farming or divert their production. Today’s consumers demand food at low cost as well as they demand the traditional mosaic agricultural landscape. What features characterize farmers’ social conditions today? How does the farmer relate to society at large and how does the society relate to the farmer? Are there institutions in society that take the farmers’ social conditions into account? How do we accomplish a sustainable development of agriculture in a social perspective?                                The aim of the project is to build knowledge about how one can achieve a social situation that the farmer percieve as sustainable. The study...

Autores: Radomsky, Guilherme Francisco Waterloo; Leal, Ondina Fachel.
This paper analyzes the links and overlappings between traditional knowledge and biodiversity in the context of ecological family farming in southern Brazil. The data presented are part of an ethnographic study carried out among a network of ecological farmers, Ecovida, in the west of Santa Catarina state. The current global patent regime, most prominently the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) of the World Trade Organization (WTO), has had direct effects on seed production and agricultural food crops. In a scenario of increasing creation of patents, patent regulations, provisions on cultivars (plant varieties and seed breeding) and a number of other global trade control mechanisms, family farmers and other related...

Community financing in the German organic food sector: a key for sustainable food systems?
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Behrendt, Gerlinde; Peter, Sarah; Sterly, Simone; Häring, Anna Maria.
The rise of socially responsible and impact investing funds provides evidence for an increased interest private investors have in combining their financial and ethical concerns. At the same time, citizens increasingly engage in food networks and take on a vital role in the governance of agri-food systems. These developments might benefit farms and firms which are committed to sustainable food and seek funding. Through different community financing models, they can involve citizens who aim to support the development of a more sustainable food system.  This contribution presents case study evidence on community financing in the German organic food sector and discusses the role it can play in food system transformation.

Análise agroecológica de dois paradigmas modernos.

Autores: Goulart, Fernando; Vandermeer, John; Perfecto, Ivette; Matta-Machado, Rodrigo P.
O presente estudo é uma revisão sobre a contribuição da agroecologia para o debate conservacionista e desenvolvimentista. O discurso tradicional da biologia da conservação traz um enfoque exclusivo nas unidades de conservação (UCs), prejudicando os esforços de preservação da matriz paisagística como todo. Por outro lado, o discurso pautado por alguns desenvolvimentistas é levado por uma diferente, mas não menos equivocada, corrente de pensamento que acredita na superioridade da produção agrícola intensiva frente à agricultura familiar. No Brasil, essa modernização precoce da agricultura teve consequências catastróficas para o pequeno produtor bem como levou o aumento da pobreza no campo e nas cidades. Através da crítica agroecológica, ambas as correntes, a...

This paper evaluates the relevance of undertaking a Social Network Analysis (SNA) to better understand the role played by the network of actors during innovation processes as well as validate stakeholders’ views on actors’ relationships in a case study on the transition to organic farming in the Camargue territory (South of France). The SNA method is part of a set of methods that forms an approach that was developed to evaluate ex-post the impacts of agronomic research in the framework of the European research project IMPRESA.  The analysis particularly confirms, through the indicator of Betweenness, the growing role played by INRA (French National Institute of Agronomic Research) in the network and its contribution to the transition to organic...

Measurable Impacts of the “Principles of Organic Agriculture”; Survey of a Vietnamese Organic PGS
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Whitney, Cory W.; den Braber, Koen; Từ Tuyết, Nhung; Thorndal Jørgensen, Søren.
In a farmers' survey within Organic Participatory Guarantee Systems (PGS) in Soc Son Hanoi, Vietnam farmers indicated that they feel there is room for improvement, but that they are largely satisfied with the management schemes and farming systems. They gave a high score for questions related to the principles; health 74%, ecology 79%, fairness 68%, and care 71%. These results are outlined and the case is made that the organic principles are measurable and comparable. It is further argued that with a quantifiable measurement of the functioning of organic systems from the farmer we may find more ways to promote and help shape the future of the movement according to the principles.

Autores: Padilha, Douglas Ochiai.
Esta pesquisa investiga o movimento agroecológico em Rio Branco do Sul/PR, como um novo movimento social, buscando analisar as trajetórias e obstáculos na construção de um paradigma ecológico para a produção e comercialização alimentar. Desde os anos 1990 agricultores familiares de Rio Branco do Sul têm convertido suas unidades de  produção para bases ecológicas como uma estratégia de reconstrução de suas relações com a natureza. Através de entrevistas semiestruturadas e dados acumulados pelos programas de Pós-graduação em Sociologia da UFPR e Doutorado em Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento da UFPR, verifica-se que as razões para a conversão à agricultura ecológica estão relacionadas às preocupações com a saúde da família em primeiro lugar, mas também com a...

Autores: Padel, Susanne; Rubenstein, Oliver; Woolford, Amelia; Egan, Jim; Leake, Alastair; Levidov, Les; Pearce, Bruce; Lampkin, Nicolas.
The term agroecology is used mainly to describe an approach “emphasising ecological principles and practices in the design and management of agroecosystems, one that  integrates the long-term protection of natural resources as an element of food, fuel and fibre production” (Lampkin et al., 2015, P9). Agroecological approaches in farming can make a major contribution to the sustainable intensification of agriculture in the UK but there is no specific policy framework for ‘agroecology’ in the UK.   Building on a previous builds on the LUPG report by Lampkin et al.

‘Consumerism’ characterises the pattern of consumption which relates to and forces the economic dynamic of globalisation. An empirical study by means of qualitative research shows that organic food consumption can result from four basic consumer orientations but the consumeristic one is amongst these. Sustainable changes do not only need new products. Probably more it needs to support another culture of con-sumption.

Landbouw in een leesbaar landschap: hoe gangbare en biologische landbouwbedrijven bijdragen aan landschapskwaliteit / Agriculture in a legible landscape: how conventional and organic farms contribute to landscape quality
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Hendriks, dr. Karina; Stobbelaar, dr. Derk Jan.
De landbouw is door het na-oorlogse moderniseringsproces steeds verder ontkoppeld van de ecologische en sociale omgeving. De kwaliteit van het cultuurlandschap, dat immers is ontstaan in een wisselwerking tussen landbouwactiviteiten en natuurlijke gebiedskenmerken, is hierdoor sterk afgenomen. Tegelijkertijd is er vanwege de toenemende ruimtevraag voor andere functies behoefte aan een multifunctioneel platteland. Onze doelstelling is zichtbaar te maken hoe verschillende typen landbouw, waaronder de biologische landbouw, (kunnen) bijdragen aan de landschapskwaliteit en multifunctionaliteit van een streek.  Met het begrip leesbaarheid is het mogelijk de bijdrage van landbouwbedrijven aan de landschapskwaliteit van de streek te bepalen. De leesbaarheid van...

Consumer competence and loyalty in a highly uncertain market: a novel learning mechanism in relation to organic farming
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Sylvander, Bertil; François, Martine; Persillet, V.; Sirieix, L.
This study presents a novel learning process for consumers in relation to organic farming. The conditions for the development of consumer loyalty were studied against a background of great uncertainty about this market in relation to changes in consumer behaviour. Consumer competence with regard to organic farming was evaluated through cognitive and experiential experiments (labelled ‘myth’ or ‘management’). Group effects and learning effects (‘complete’ or ‘incomplete’ learning) were variously observed in the different tests. Indeed, both the cognitive phase, directed at ‘management’, and the experiential phase contributed to an improvement in consumer competence. However, improvement was not lasting in all respects. The study provides some insight into...

Today, and especially in the years to come, agriculture, as well as all other human activities, will have to pay much more attention to their environmental impacts. In other words, it is expected that in the near future only technologies which care about environmental aspects will be promoted and accepted by policy makers, scientists, consumers, and society in general. This is not surprising since the environmental problems are among the most urgent ones our civilization will have to tackle and solve. This demand for more careful stewardship of environment is also acknowledged by philosophy of sustainable development - a widely recognized concept and necessity of future development.     Although established at the very beginning of this century, ecological...

The EU-CEE-OFP project will identify how the complementary development of Organic Farming in both existing EU states, Switzerland, and in Central and Eastern European (CEE) Accession states can be fostered through policy design and innovation. Addressing the issue of complementarity requires a detailed knowledge of present conditions at both production and policy levels. At the production level, it is necessary to gather data on the structure and development of the OF sector. At the policy level, it is necessary to know the existing policy measures and their impacts on that structure in order to identify policy instruments that are successful or have the desired impacts. Having decided what is successful and from a scientific perspective desirable, one...

Attitudes and decision making amongst Scottish organic farmers

The number of organic farmers in Scotland increased dramatically in the period between 1997 and 2000, from 120 in 1997 to approximately 600 at the end of 2000; a five fold increase. Currently the outlook for organic farming in Scotland appears positive, despite recent publicity about farmers leaving the sector. Market prospects for all organic commodities are buoyant and there are increased Scottish Executive Organic Aid Scheme (OAS) maintenance payments in the offing. But what do Scotland’s organic producers really think about the system, which has them, tied in for at least five years?  In June 2004, a representative group of Scottish organic farmers in the South of Scotland was surveyed to determine how many intended to continue farming organically once...

Autores: Gonçalves, Maria da Penha Moreira; Higa, Antônio Rioyei; Silva, Ivan Crespo; Silva, Luciana Duque; Oliveira, Rafael Kuster.
O sistema agroflorestal (SAF) com bracatinga (Mimosa scabrella Bent.) constitui-se em alternativa de renda e manutenção da qualidade ambiental, contribuindo para a fixação do homem no campo. A análise emergética permite a avaliação ambiental de um sistema sendo levadas em consideração todas às contribuições da natureza na sua construção. O presente estudo objetivou avaliar o desempenho ambiental de um SAF com bracatinga através do método de análise emergética. O SAF foi formado pela espécie florestal bracatinga e pelas espécies agrícolas milho e abóbora. O estudo demonstrou que os recursos naturais renováveis exercem grande participação nos fluxos emergéticos do sistema, configurando ser o maior contribuidor energético na construção do SAF de bracatinga....

Welche Faktoren hemmen die Umstellung von Ackerbaubetrieben auf ökologischen Landbau?
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Zimmermann, Albert; Ferjani, Ali.
Der biologische Landbau in der Schweiz verzeichnete vor allem im Zeitraum zwischen 1990 und 2005 ein grosses Wachstum und hat sich in der Landwirtschaft und bei den Konsumenten etabliert. Deutlich untervertreten sind die Biobetriebe jedoch in den Ackerbauregionen, was sicherlich auf die im Vergleich zum Grünland meist höheren Anforderungenrungen an die Betriebsumstellung zurückzuführen ist. Mit einer Umfrage unter rund 300 Bio- und ÖLN-Ackerbaubetrieben wurde untersucht, welche Gründe Landwirtinnen und Landwirte von einer Umstellung abhalten.   Die grössten Befürchtungen sind der Unkrautdruck und der damit zusammenhängende höhere Arbeitsaufwand, die ungenügende Wirtschaftlichkeit durch zu geringe Zuschläge auf die Produktpreise, Probleme bei der...

Perceptions of French private veterinary practitioners’ on their role inorganic dairy farms and opportunities to improve their advisoryservices for organic dairy farmers
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Duval, Julie; Bareille, Nathalie; Fourichon, Christine; Madouasse, Aurélien; Vaarst, Mette.
Veterinarians could be the expected sparring partners of organic dairy farmers in promoting animal health which is one of the main organic principles. However, in the past organic dairy farmers did not always consider veterinarians to be pertinent advisors for them. The objectives of this study are – from private veterinary practitioners’ point of views- i) to describe the roles of veterinarians today in organic dairy farmers’ animal health promotion strategies, ii) to identify factors related to organic farming which determine their role on organic dairy farms, and, iii) to identify opportunities for improvement of veterinarians’ advisory services for organic dairy herds. Fourteen veterinarians, providing herd health advisory services to dairy farmers,...

A pilot socio-economic impact assessment was carried out on three dairy projects within QLIF to identify the business, consumer and policy issues likely to influence the adoption of the innovations resulting from QLIF.  A socio-economic analysis is pre-sented related to the key outcomes from the three projects which include: manage-ment systems to reduce mastitis and antibiotic use in organic dairy farms and how milk quality can be enhanced through high forage organic feeding systems.  Due to a lack financial data costs had to be assumed based on other studies.

Impact of the dynamics of discourses on the development of organic farming in Flanders
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: De Cock, L.; Dessein, J.; de Krom, M.P.M.M.
Discursive dynamics have played an important role in determining the development of the organic farming sector in Flanders (the northern part of Belgium). These dynamics co-shaped political and institutional changes including the implementation of EU regulations and the deployment of supply-and market-driven measures. Moreover, discursive dynamics mediated the effects of these political-institutional changes on the willingness of agricultural stakeholders –including individual farmers– to contribute to a growth of the organic agricultural sector. Our results suggest that a focus on institutional changes or individual farmers’ willingness to convert may be useful but only partially explains organic agricultural developments.

Organic vine growing: from breaking new ground to bringing back the taste of the terroir
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: TEIL, G.; BARREY, S.
Organic farming certification has certainly contributed to unifying organic production, particularly by reducing the number of private charters. However, this reduction should not be misleading. Organic agriculture cannot be reduced to just a label and includes other requirements related to ethics, agronomy and economic policy whose implementation contributes to the diversification of marketing organisations that selectively ensure the marketing of organic products. Furthermore, in the case of viticulture, organic producers have recently placed more emphasis on the taste quality of their wines that they have linked in various ways to the quality of the environment. This new link between taste and environment has added a new complexity to marketing...

The employment benefits of organic farming
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Green, M; Maynard, R.
Organic farming in the UK provides a range of economic and social benefi ts. In particular, it provides 32% more jobs per farm than equivalent non-organic farms. These new findings are based on the fi rst national survey of employment on UK organic farms, carried out by the University of Essex for the Soil Association. Organic farming is helping to reverse the decline in the UK’s agricultural workforce, which has fallen by 80% in the last 50 years. In contrast to the ageing overall farming population, organic farmers are, on average, seven years younger than their non-organic counterparts. Organic farmers are also three times more likely to be engaged in business innovations activities, such as direct marketing and on-farm processing. If all UK farmers...

Perspektiver for økologisk fisk
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Nielsen, Thorkild.
En analyse af forbrugernes opfattelse af økologisk fisk viste bl.a. at, op attelsen af økologisk fisk var påvirket af den generelle opfattelse af opdrættet fisk. Ofte var opdrættet fisk forbundet med noget negativt - på linje med industrialiseret landbrug og i modsætning til ”vilde fisk”. Meget få forbrugere var i stand til at identificere regler for økologisk fisk og ofte sammenblandedes de med MSC, ASC og andre certificeringer. Der er således behov for en systematisk kommunikationsplan for økologisk fisk med henblik på at øge forbrugernes bevidsthed om hvad økologiske ørred er; at det er opdrættet, og at økomærket ikke er det samme som miljømærkerne MSC og ASC.

‘Organic farming’ in Denmark: Enhancement or dissolution? A survey among organic farmers
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Noe, Egon.
The Danish organic farmers’ strategy of strategic cooperation with actors of the conventional food production chains is widely seen as a success story, not least in terms of volume and efficiency. On the other hand it has been claimed that this strategy would easily lead to a dissolution of the network forces that produce and reproduce the ideas and values of organic farming and thereby the forces that are developing the organic farming practice. The objective of this paper is to re-examine the surveys among the Danish organic farmers, conducted by Michelsen and his colleagues to examine whether the process we are witnessing is a process of enhancement or dissolution of ‘Organic farming’. Michelsen finds a minor difference in attitudes toward organic and...

As perspectivas da pequena produção familiar na agricultura.
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Ciprandi, Olivio; Neto, João Fert.
As perspectivas da pequena produção familiar na agricultura constitui um tema controvertido na sociologia e na economia rural. A modernização da agricultura alterou suas relações com o restante da economia. As mudanças na base técnica e as políticas agrícolas determinaram a necessidade de crescimento das escalas mínimas viáveis do ponto de vista técnico e econômico, promovendo um processo de seleção e exclusão entre os pequenos produtores rurais, sem no entanto implicar na eliminação da pequena produção familiar.

O objetivo do artigo é apresentar elementos antropológicos que podem contribuir com o processo, já em curso, de edificação da agroecologia como campo de intersecção entre diferentes conhecimentos e práticas. O foco de atenção é a relação entre os agentes de saberes e práticas acadêmicas e os agentes de saberes e práticas locais e etnicamente determinadas. Para tanto, (1) buscamos discutir a incursão teórica da agroecologia sobre a diversidade cultural e suas decorrências práticas; (2) empreendemos uma destilação sobre as principais situações de estranhamento entre técnicos/cientistas e famílias agricultoras; e (3) apresentamos elementos conceituais da antropologia – “cultura”, “alteridade” e “simetria” – que podem contribuir tanto para superação dessas...

Organic consumption: a form of hybrid communication
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Laursen, Klaus Brønd.
This paper discusses how the consumption of organic food can be understood as a form of hybrid communication. By describing the consumption of organic food as a form of hybridity the paper shows how different codes such as health, aesthetics and morality can be reproduced by re-entering the economic code. This process of hybridizations allows the communication to handle more complexity than had it only been coded economically. But on the other hand the hybridization also creates an increased amount of social complexity. The paper argues that in order to better understand how consumption functions systems theory provides an analytical perspective that is well attuned into the entanglement of the different logics.

Pigeonpea is one of the few crops with a high potential for resource-poor farmers due to its complementary resource use when intercropped with maize. A three year comprehensive comparative study on the performance of six pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) varieties on farmers’ fields in Eastern and Southern Africa where intercropping with maize is normal practice, was undertaken. The varieties were tested for accumulation of dry matter (DM), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in all above-ground organs for three years under farmers’ conditions. The study revealed that the latest introduced ICEAP 00040 outperformed all the other tested varieties (ICP 9145; ICEAP 00020, ICEAP 00053, ICEAP 00068, and a local variety called “Babati White”) under farmer-managed conditions....

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar os fundamentos teóricos para definição de um grupo social como "tradicional" e as implicações deste termo, freqüentemente norteado r para tomadas de decisão referentes ao manejo de unidades de conservação - como a decisão sobre a permanência ou não de comunidades em áreas de acentuado interesse ecológico -, para a conservação ambiental e a agroecologia. A partir da pesquisa bibliográfica constatou-se que as populações tradicionais, com forte correlação com a noção de "camponês", têm sido definidas pela sua inserção no meio envolvente, pelo uso de técnicas de baixo impacto ambiental e pelo respeito aos ciclos naturais. É destacado que, para uma comunidade ser considerada tradicional, esta não precisa ter padrões...

Ziel des Projekts "Bio mit Gesicht – Erfolgschancen einer kundennahen und innovativen Marketingstrategie“ war es, die Markteinführung der Produktlinie BMG wissenschaftlich zu begleiten und praxisrelevante Aussagen über die Konzeption zukünftiger Marketingstrategien zu treffen. Dabei wurde im Rahmen einer quantitativen und einer qualitativen Studie untersucht, worauf das Vertrauen in Bio-Produkte grundsätzlich beruht und ob BMG geeignet ist, das Vertrauen in Bio-Produkte zu steigern.

Common People’s Sustainability: Connectivity within a Food System Rhizome
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Mikkola, Minna.
They say that sustainable development has been around for about 20 years and not very much progress has been achieved. However, this view may refer to difficulties in identifying sustainable developments in everyday business activities without particularly visible publicity. Currently, new serious activity towards sustainable food systems, starting from retailing, processing industries and farmers as well as other food system actors seem to strive to connect the supply chains for sustainable food. This paper makes use of the notion of ‘social rhizomes’ structured as different networks to identify sustainable developments in actors’ lived experience. Furthermore, the notion of connectivity, as the ability to activate heterogenous ideas, persons, materials...

L'AB en 3D : diversité, dynamique et dessein de l'agriculture biologique
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Allaire, Gilles; Bellon, Stéphane.
Avec une reconnaissance croissante, l’agriculture biologique (AB) continue son développement. Dans cet article, nous l’abordons selon deux paradigmes cognitifs - décomposabilité et identité - et dans une perspective relative au dessein de l’AB, en rendant compte des contributions de recherches agronomiques et en sciences sociales. Ces clefs de lecture transversales sont déclinées en trois temps. En premier lieu, nous montrons que la tension entre identité et diversité de l’AB est résolue par l’adaptation de ses cadres de référence. Ensuite, nous rendons compte des principales dynamiques récentes de l’AB et les traduisons en enjeux de R&amp;D, en précisant le rôle des institutions dans ces orientations. Enfin, nous abordons les enjeux de re-conception de...

Farmers’ reasons for deregistering from organic farming
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Koesling, Matthias; Løes, Anne-Kristin; Flaten, Ola; Kristensen, Niels Heine; Hansen, Mette Weinreich.
Every year since 2002, 150 to 200 farmers in Norway have deregistered from certified organic production. The aim of this study was to get behind these figures and improve our understanding of the reasoning leading to decisions to opt out. Four cases of deregistered organic farmers with grain, sheep, dairy or vegetable production were selected for in-depth studies. The cases were analysed from the perspective of individual competencies and the competencies available in the networks of the selected organic farmers. Besides the conspicuous reasons to opt out of certified organic farming, such as regulations getting stricter over time and low income, personal reasons such as disappointment and need for acceptance were also important. This shows that hard...

Presentation: Comparing reasons for opting out inAustria, Denmark, Estonia and Norway
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Koesling, Matthias; Løes, Anne-Kristin.
While the number of organic farms was rising rapidly in almost all European Countries since the beginning of the 1990s, some organic farmers were opting out of certified organic farming the later years. For farmers in Estonia and Denmark, unsatisfactory economic results were named as dominating reason for opting out. In Denmark these problems were mainly due to marketing problems. Other important reasons in Estonia were too much bureaucracy, difficulties to fit animal production to the regulations and difficulties in weed control. Difficult and changing regulations, getting stricter over time, were mentioned most frequently by Norwegian and Austrian farmers and also important for those in Denmark.

The constitution of trust: Function, configuration and generation of trust in Alternative Food Networks
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Thorsøe, Martin H.; Kjeldsen, Chris.
Alternative Food Networks (AFN) is often mentioned as a way to reconfigure the link between producers and consumers and build trust in the food system. This article explores the function, configuration and generation of trust in AFNs. The structure is twofold. First we discuss the theoretical underpinnings of trust, in both recent AFN literature and in sociology, and develop a conceptual framework for analyzing trust in AFN. Second, we explore the function, configuration and generation of trust in the Food Communities of Copenhagen and Aarhus (in Danish: “Fødevarefællesskaberne”). The Food Communities are a network of urban consumers sourcing organic products from regional producers. Empirically, the article demonstrates that trust functions as a mechanism...

A mudança de rumo nas discussões sobre desenvolvimento que as sociedades contemporâneas estão exigindo e empreendendo, colocam cada vez mais no centro do debate e do jogo político o ideário da sustentabilidade. As propostas daí advindas se derivam e exigem uma nova visão de ciência e tecnologia. Assim, para promover uma agricultura sustentável a formação e, por conseguinte, o perfil profissional dos técnicos não pode ser o mesmo daquele conformado pela agricultura dita “moderna”, posto que o processo formativo das ciências agrárias deve apresentar transformações substanciais em suas concepções educativas e práticas de ensino. Tal processo deve levar a um perfil do profissional que extrapole os limites da especialização, com base cultural ampla e que seja...

L’île de la Martinique vit aujourd’hui principalement du tourisme, de la banane et un peu de la canne à sucre (pour le rhum). L’agriculture,qui occupe plus de 14 % de la population active (4 % en France métropolitaine), perd de son poids économique, l’industrie se développe faiblement, seule la part de l’emploi dans l’administration progresse. Les ressources de l’île dépendent en partie des transferts publics et des aides européennes. Malgré une précarité et un chômage élevés, dans les vingt dernières années ces transferts ont permis un accroissement sensible du niveau de vie, qui dépasse aujourd'hui largement celui des pays voisins et concurrents de la Caraïbe.

Ch 2: Organic farming: The arrival and uptake of the dissident agriculture meme in Australia
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Paull, John.
Only four years elapsed between the coining of the term ‘organic farming’ and the founding of an association  devoted to the advocacy of organic farming. The world’s first association dedicated to the promotion and proliferation of organic agriculture, the Australian Organic Farming and Gardening Society (AOFGS), was founded in Sydney, Australia, in October 1944. It is a geographically surprising sequel to the coining of the term ‘organic farming’ by Lord Northbourne and its first appearance in war-time Britain. Northbourne’s manifesto of organic farming, Look to the Land, was published in London in May 1940. When the AOFGS published a periodical, the Organic Farming Digest, it was the first association to publish an organics advocacy journal. The present...

The supply chain and conversion to organic farming in Belgium or the story of the egg and the chicken
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Baecke, Eveline; Rogiers, Geert; De Cock, Lieve; Van Huylenbroeck, Guido.
Organic products form a growing segment of the food market. Recent estimates speak about market shares between 1 to 4.25 per cent. In Belgium the share is only 1 per cent, but the market is growing exponentially. Organic farmers in Belgium often have to sell their products as conventional products because of non-efficient marketing systems. Marketing problems are also mentioned as one of the main reasons by conventional farmers for not converting. Most conventional farmers are not only rather sceptical about the long-term perspectives of getting a price premium for organic products, but consider the organisation of the supply chain as one of the main sources of uncertainty and therefore as a constraint for conversion. Therefore more efforts should be made...

A multi-country case study of the process of conversion to organic farming in the EU
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Holt, Dr Georgina; Grey, Mr Peter; Nielsen, Mr Robert; Tranter, Mr Richard.
This paper reports on a series of case studies of the process of conversion to organic farming in five EU countries. The objectives of the case studies were: to identify factors affecting the decisions of conventional farmers considering conversion to organic farming; to identify problems that farmers thought they would face; and to consider and detail the financial impact of conversion on a range of farm businesses. National comparisons of the practice of conversion to organic farming reveals a wide diversity of support systems. Although these are in part necessitated by the diversity of enterprises suitable to different geographical locations, variation also results from different political agendas. Variation is also seen in farmer attitudes to organic...

La remise en cause du modèle fordiste de l’agriculture européenne, fondée sur une contestation sociale de ses excès et de ses dérives, a conduit au cours des années 1980-90 à une légitimation d’alternatives, qui étaient souvent apparues au cours des décennies précédentes. Une convention sociale s’est progressivement développée autour de la prise en compte des problèmes sociétaux liés à ce modèle de développement : dégradation du goût des produits, présence de résidus de pesticides et de nitrates dans les sols, les eaux et l'alimentation, atteintes au bien être animal, dégradation des paysages, inquiétude sur la biodiversité et le réchauffement de la planète, etc…Bref, les analyses et les valeurs du courant écologiste, longtemps confinés à une petite...

Farms and firms along the value chain for organic food in Germany increasingly complement or substitute traditional credit financing with financing models which base upon citizen participation. However, research on the role of consumers or citizens as investors is quite limited.  This contribution presents first insights from a research project on community financing models in the German organic food sector.

Landwirte und Klimaschutz – Ein Vergleich der Meinungen von Betriebsleitern konventioneller und ökologischer Betriebe in Bayern
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Niedrist, Alexandra; Helmle, Simone.
Der anthropogene Treibhauseffekt ist die Hauptursache für den Klimawandel. Es bestehen große Potentiale die landwirtschaftlichen Treibhausgase zu verringern. Dieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie Landwirte konventioneller und ökologischer Betriebe in Bayern Klimaschutz als betriebliche Aufgabe wahrnehmen. Das Ergebnis zeigt, dass die subjektiven Sichtweisen zu Klimaschutz sehr unterschiedlich sind. Daraus lassen sich vier verschiedene Betriebsleitertypen (farming styles) ableiten. Es wird gezeigt, welche Motive und Einstellungen der befragten konventionellen und ökologischen Betriebsleiter gleich sind und welche unterschiedlich. Abschließend werden Handlungsempfehlungen gegeben, um klimafreundliches Verhalten zu verbessern.

Indgåelse af fornuftige, holdbare og frivillige aftaler mellem myndighed og landmænd er en stor udfordring, der kræver kommunikation. En forudsætning for en god kommunikation med landmændene er at forstå, hvorledes landbrugsproduktionen er skruet sammen. Landbrugs-produktion i dag er komplekst, det involverer mange parter og er underlagt mange forskellige hensyn og restriktioner. Den enkelte bedrift må skabe en intern sammenhæng i denne kom-pleksitet gennem værdier og produktionslogik. Der findes mange forskellige måder at organi-sere en bedrift på, og det er en forudsætning, at de indgåede aftaler tager udgangspunkt i den enkelte bedrift, og at aftalerne involverer landmanden mest muligt i at opnå de ønskede mål.

Food systems and farmers’ bargaining power: The case of "Unfair Trade Practices" in the EU
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: de Porras Acuna, Miguel Angel; Quiédeville, Sylvain.
EU agricultural policies have often been formulated from an “orthodox approach”, without directly tackling the issue of markets structure that tend to lower the power and economic welfare of farmers. This situation reveals a need to better comprehend the long-standing dynamics and processes determining the structural position of farmers to find suitable strategies for pushing forward more sustainable food value chain models. Classical and neo-classical economic approaches to the problem often consider Unfair Trade Practices (UTP) as only cyclical phenomenon caused by temporary disequilibrium on the market. Market forces are intended to stabilise prices and to balance power among value chain actors. Such approaches underestimate the role played for example...

Economic sustainability and risk efficiency of organic versus conventional cropping systems
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Lein, G; Hardaker, J B; Flaten, O.
Environmental, social and economic attributes are important for the sustainability of a farming system. Resilience is also important yet has seldom been directly considered in evaluations of economic sustainability. In economic terms, resilience has to do with the capacity of the farm business to survive various risks and other shocks. A whole-farm stochastic simulation model over a six-year planning horizon was used to analyse organic and conventional cropping systems using a model of a representative farm in Eastern Norway. The relative economic sustainability of alternative systems under changing assumptions about future technology and price regimes was examined in terms of financial survival to the end of the planning period. The same alternatives were...

Strategies, innovations and characteristics specific to organic farmers. Elements of sociological analysis related to professional organic farming
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: LEROUX, B.
How can we approach strategies and innovations specific to organic farmers? Is the appearance of new practices evidence of a modification of the structure of professional organic farming? On the basis of a field study carried out in the Midi-Pyrénées region in France, sociological analysis casts light on several examples of strategies and innovations specific to the world of organic farming and from which they arise. The strategic courses of action taken by organic farmers are therefore analysed in relation to organic farming characteristics, defined as the set of issues, interests, representations and other specific characteristics that structure this socio-professional field. Organic farming innovations are the result of interactions between the...

The Governance of Urban Agriculture and Multifunctional Land Use in the City of Zurich
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Jahrl, Ingrid; Schmid, Otto.
Aspects of multifunctional land use are increasingly gaining the attention of different urban actors in the city of Zurich, including urban gardeners, farmers and policy-makers as well as city administrators. This contribution is based on an exploratory case study on approaches and challenges for multifunctional land use with regard to urban agriculture in Zurich, including personal interviews, document analysis and a workshop with different actor groups. The city of Zurich, as the owner of a large area of farmland, has taken several approaches to multifunctional urban agriculture, which follow typical aspects of rural development, mainly targeting farmers. City dwellers, who are active in urban agriculture and gardening initiatives, increasingly challenge...

From soy to egg: Solidarity in the poultry sector. Taking the next step towards social soy production
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Klinkert, Heleen; van Bree, Miriam.
A Dutch feed manufacturer and a soy trader felt that soy imports from overseas can only be justified, if in addition to the organic standards, also social standards are met. Their idea was well received by other stakeholders in the egg production chain and resulted in a Memorandum of Understanding that states that 100% of the soy used in organic poultry feed should meet social criteria by the end of 2015.

Agricultura apoiada pela comunidade: poderia a experiência dos agricultores americanos ser útil para os agricultores urbanos brasileiros?
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Branco, Marina Castelo; Liz, Ronaldo S de; Alcântara, Flávia A; Martins, Hélio AG; Hanson, James C.
O projeto "Agricultura Apoiada pela Comunidade" (AAC) é uma alternativa de mercado utilizada na Europa e nos EUA. Neste mercado alternativo, os produtores oferecem a sua produção aos consumidores, sob a forma de cestas de alimentos, alguns meses antes de iniciarem a produção de suas culturas. Algum tempo depois, durante alguns meses, os consumidores irão receber os produtos. Atualmente, diversos países têm uma parcela significativa da sua população vivendo na pobreza. Por isso, diversas políticas públicas foram desenhadas nesses países com o objetivo de reduzi-la. O estímulo à agricultura urbana é uma dessas políticas. No entanto, frequentemente, os produtores urbanos pobres têm dificuldades para adquirir os insumos necessários para manter a sua produção....

Cultivating market relations - diversification in the Danish organic production sector following market expansion
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Thorsøe, Martin H.; Noe, Egon.
Developing a model to characterize the influence of the market on organic production has long been sought within agro-food studies. This paper explores how the market influences organic production by looking at the relationship between the market and producers’ engagement in trust and quality building as well as farm level production strategy in the Danish organic food market. Our perspective on the organic market is based on Actor-Network Theory (ANT) and, using qualitative interviews, we identify four market agencements, arrangements of actors endowed with agency: 1) standardizing market agencement, 2) personalizing market agencement 3) specializing market agencement and 4) aesthetifying market agencement. The market agencements enact multiple versions...

Do the new organic producers differ from the “old guard”? Empirical results from Norwegian dairy farming

Autores: O., Flaten; G., Lien; M., Ebbesvik; M., Koesling; P.S., Valle.
Conventional farmers converting to organics has contributed to most of the rapid expansion of organic farming in recent years. The new organic farmers may differ from their more established colleagues, which may have implications for the development of the organic farming sector and its distinctiveness vis-à-vis conventional production and marketing practices. The aim of this study was to explore Norwegian organic dairy farmers’ personal and farm production characteristics, farming goals, conversion motives, and attitudes to organic farming, grouped by year of conversion (three groups). A postal survey was undertaken among organic dairy farmers (n = 161). The results show that the newcomers (converted in 2000 or later) were less educated than the early...

Main-streaming participatory and cross-disciplinary approaches in animal science research in developing countries

Autores: Aagaard-Hansen, J.; Larsen, C.E. Schou; Halberg, N.; Hjortsø, C.N.; Gausset, . Q.; Kabirizi, J.
Conventional research approaches have lost considerable momentum after their astonishing achieve-ments during the green revolution. The negative side of focusing rigorously on production improve-ment was eminent around 1980 and led to considerations of environmental, gender and equity aspects - making agricultural development much more complex than previously. In the search for new ways of addressing the persisting problems of food insecurity and malnutrition, new ways should be explored. Based on the experiences from three international, African research projects, the article argues the case of participatory action research and cross-disciplinarity as some of the key elements in future animal science research in developing countries. The benefits are...

Transição para agricultura de base ecológica: um processo social.
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Pacífico, Daniela A.; Soglio, Fábio Kessler Dal.
O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar o projeto de transição para uma cafeicultura orgânica que foi realizado em duas comunidades rurais no norte do estado do Paraná, em 2003. A partir da pesquisa de campo e das consultas bibliográficas sobre a Agroeocologia e a perspectiva teórica orientada pelo ator (POA) constatou-se que o método de transição, ao se utilizar de um modelo preestabelecido de atividades de transição, impossibilitou a participação do ator social e não contribuiu com o processo de empoderamento desses agricultores acerca da nova cafeicultura que se estabelecia. É destacado que, para o processo de transição ter se dado por completo não apenas o método foi determinante, mas, sobretudo, as conseqüências geradas por ele ainda no decorrer...

Values Based Supply Chains for Mountain Products. The Example of BioAlpin in Tyrol/Austria
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Schermer, Markus.
Values based Supply chains for Mountain Products: the example of BioAlpin in Tyrol/Austria     Growth processes are often problematic for small-scale farms as they may disturb the delicate balance of basic internal resources, like labor, buildings, machinery, land and animals. Most of these resources cannot be increased in linear processes and the smaller the unit the more problematic the task of realignment of resources becomes. Small-scale farmers often feel growth as enforced by outside factors, e.g. a market partner. Growing enterprises in processing and trading need more supply and obviously are not eager to deal with more small suppliers, as this tends to mean higher transaction costs and varying qualities. However, we find examples where dedicated...

Organic aquaculture production is attaining impressive growth and demand is strongest in Europe. Countries like Germany, France and Switzerland particularly have stronger consumption markets. In 2010, the European Union implemented a harmonized system of organic aquaculture production principles for all member states. The regulation requires that fish production should exclusively be based on organic fry from 2016. Given that antibiotic use is only allowed in very strict limits, robustness of the fry to diseases is very crucial, particularly for countries like Denmark where serious trout fry diseases are a major concern. In spite of this, Denmark is making headway in organic aquaculture production, currently being the leading supplier of organic rainbow...

Autores: LIMA, Kilvia Kalidia Sales de; LOPES, Priscila Fabiana Macedo.
The Brazilian land reform is a possible strategy to  reduce poverty and increase social equality, but it depends on  efficient public policies capable of making the peasants selfsustainable.  With the goal of presenting the main socio-economic  challenges of 33 rural settlements of former landless peasantsin Rio Grande do Norte State (Northeastern Brazil), we evaluated socio, economic and environmental aspects of 631 families from these settlements and 16 “Restoration Plan for Degraded Areas” (PRAD), prepared between 2007 and 2010. The emancipation of a settlement, measured through income  generation, schooling level, and changes in people’s  environmental habits, was not related to the age of the settlement. Also, the income of a settlement is hardly...

Analysis of transition forms towards more ecologically-oriented farming: the case of organic farming and integrated crop protection
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: LAMINE, C.; MEYNARD, J.-M.; PERROT, N.; BELLON, S.
Interdisciplinary approaches developed concerning the conversion to organic farming show that the types of conversion trajectories can be differentiated on the basis of the progression of crop protection changes within a larger framework where relationships to other “objects” are transformed – the soil, products, rotations, work organisation, marketing, social networks and knowledge acquisition. In the case of integrated plant production, the extent of changes depends on the degree of recomposition of agronomic practices. This transition implies major knowledge acquisition that relies on the support and contribution of advisors and on the group dynamics that develop within a group of farmers. Transitions towards integrated crop protection are, by their...

Muligheder for antibiotikafri produktion af økologisk mælk og svinekød i Danmark
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Vaarst, Mette; Sørensen, Jan Tind.
Muligheder for og udfordringer ved at lave en antibiotikafri økologisk produktion af mælk og svinekød er analyseret for to spor; antibiotikafri besætninger (spor 1) og antibiotikafri dyr (spor 2). Antibiotikafri besætninger kræver på kort og på lang sigt, en målrettet sundhedsfremmende indsats, som omfatter dyrenes omgivelser ude og inde, fodring, avlsmateriale og avlsmål, samt opmærksomhed og handlekraft i den daglige håndtering og pasning. Der skal være en handlingsplan klar for håndtering af syge dyr uden brug af antibiotika. Produktion efter spor 1 vil kræve en betydelig indsats. Sådan en produktion kan have virkninger på produktion (mælkeydelse og tilvækst). Mange af rutinerne vil sandsynligvis kræve flere arbejdstimer, samt ændringer i rutinerne. Der...

Na cena contemporânea, a questão ambiental tem sido foco de atenção da comunidade científica de diferentes países, subsidiando a formulação de políticas que permitam conciliar a produção com a satisfação de necessidades humanas e a conservação e uso racional dos recursos naturais. No âmbito rural, a agricultura é uma das atividades que mais deterioram o meio ambiente e cujas conseqüências sociais e ambientais adquirem proeminência no debate mundial. Desde a década de 60 do século passado, quando a crise ambiental ganhou espaço na agenda das discussões intemacionais da ONU, surgem mundialmente diversas iniciativas que se colocam como altemativas ao padrâo tecnológico da agricultura industrial, resultado da chamada revolução verde. Atualmente a visibilidade...

Innovations in low input and organic dairy supply chains - What is acceptable in Europe?
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Nicholas, Phillipa; Mandolesi, Serena; Naspetti, Simona; Zanoli, Raffaele.
The growth in organic and low-input farming practices is driven by both market demand for high quality, safe food, and European Union policy support, and these types of farming practices are considered in European Union policies for sustainable production, food quality, healthy life, and rural development. However, many constraints to the development of low-input and organic dairy farming supply chains have been identified, including economic, political, and technical constraints. In order for these types of supply chains to develop and provide further benefits to society, innovations are required to improve their sustainability. However, an innovation will only be taken up and result in desirable change if the whole supply chain accepts the innovation. In...

Public perceptions of rural landscapes in land consolidation procedures in Poland
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Kupidura, Adrianna; Łuczewski, Michael; Home, Robert; Kupidura, Przemysław.
A high level of fragmentation of farms exists in many parts of Poland, which leads to inefficiency in farm management and a range of logistical problems. Land consolidation is a process that reverses fragmentation by enabling an exchange of plots of equivalent value between participants. The primary aim of land consolidation is to improve spatial and economic conditions for farming by decreasing the number of separate plots that belong to a given farm, adjusting the shape of plots to enable mechanized cultivation of soil, and decreasing the distance between dwellings and cultivated plots. Contemporary consolidation works, performed in compliance with the principles of sustainable development, enable creation of legaland spatial conditions that allow the...

Les Indomptables: an ethnography of niche novelty production in Walloon agriculture
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Delobel, Vincent JMM.
My ancestors from both sides have been farming for ages. Peasants have continuously held this as ancestral as salutary art of nourishing “débrouillardise” (lit. problem-solving creativity) for ages; they have fed others in the plain as in the mountain, under dictatorship as under “democracy”. However, farmer newspapers today say we may disappear soon; ‘eternal’ peasant population rushes to the bottom.  Are we really going to disappear? How and why did we get to this situation? What is going on in farms today? What are farmers’ plans and projects? What futures do these projects lead to? This is in short the structure of this MSc thesis. This alarming observation motivated me to go and see in farms, not only at home but also to colleagues’ in order to better...

Autores: Lähdesmäki, Merja; Siltaoja, Marjo.
The study advances two lines of academic discussion. First, our study adds to the existing literature on organic farming. Even though previous literature on pioneer organic farmers has identified the attitudes among conventional farming community and social stigma as barriers to organic conversion (e.g. Rigby et al. 2001), it has not addressed the ways how pioneer organic farmers were coping with the social stigma. By demonstrating pioneer organic farmers as institutional entrepreneurs who challenged the existing institutional order by overcame the stigmatizing cultural categories at the time. Second, our paper further contributes to stigma management literature by demonstrating how stigmatization can be understood as an empowering condition, thus enabling...

Autores: Løes, Anne-Kristin; Nölting, Benjamin.
Increasingly, food consumption occurs in  out-of-home contexts, where organic food can also  have a role to play. Public food services may be  utilised to increase the sustainability of providing  nutrition. Although school meals may be well suited  to integrating organic food and sustainable nutrition  concepts, school food provision systems are very  different across Europe. This paper compares school  food provision systems and their utilisation of organic  food in Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy and  Norway, discussing how various strategies and instruments  used for organic food procurement in school  meals may increase organic food consumption. Using  five analytical categories—(a) type of school food  service, (b) degree of public financing, (c)...

Obstacles, levers and impacts of organic farming development in Camargue
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Delmotte, Sylvestre; Lacombe, C; Couderc, Vincent; Mailly, F; Mouret, J.C.; Lopez-Ridaura, S; Barbier, J.M.
We are presenting an analysis of the obstacles and levers for the development of organic cropping systems in Camargue, documented with a multicriteria analysis of scenarios of organic farming (OF) development. This communication is built using results from on-farm agronomic monitoring, stakeholders and farmers’ interviews and the use of models for integrated assessment of scenarios. At the farm level, the obstacles are related to identification of profitable cropping systems and rotations that include enough rice, conversion being therefore risky as impacting financial management and requiring a labour reorganisation. At the regional level, the constraints are related to the absence of advisory services for technical issues, and to the lack of coordination...

Balanços energéticos agropecuários: uma importante ferramenta como indicativo de sustentabilidade de agroecossistemas.
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Campos, Alessandro Torres; Campos, Aloísio Torres de.
No Brasil, pouca atenção se tem dado às formas e caminhos com que os fluxos energéticos se distribuem nos sistemas produtivos. Na agropecuária, a atenção tem sido voltada a novas fontes de energia (biomassa) ou em tecnologia alternativa, visando a racionalização do uso de energia fóssil ou elétrica. Entretanto, a agricultura tem se desenvolvido baseada fortemente na utilização intensiva de máquinas agrícolas, com conseqüente uso de combustíveis fósseis. Um fator de estrangulamento muito forte no consumo energético geral tem sido a utilização massiva de fertilizantes derivados do petróleo nos agroecossistemas. Estudos de Balanços Energéticos visam determinar os pontos de estrangulamento energético fundamentando a busca por tecnologias poupadoras de energia,...

Options for improving soil fertility in the southern part of the Republic of Bénin: Where does Mucuna find its niche?
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Akouègnon, Guy-Erick; Hoffmann, Volker; Schultze-Kraft, Rainer.
Empirical evidence has shown that small-scale farmers can use a non-food, green manure legume as soil-fertilising technology only if it provides immediate benefits other than soil fertility improvement. In the southern part of the Republic of Bénin, however, subsistence-oriented farmers chose Mucuna pruriens exclusively for soil fertility. In this they had the opportunity to select dual-purpose grain legumes for both soil fertility and food without season loss. The rationale behind this apparently irrational choice lies in the differentiated and economically sound land allocation to Mucuna and grain legumes.

Transição agroecológica e sustentabilidade dos agricultores familiares do Território do Caparaó-ES.
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Siqueira, Haloysio Miguel de; Souza, Paulo Marcelo de; Rabello, Lilian Katiany Castello; Ferreira, Rodrigo de Souza; Alvarez, Célio Ricardo da Silva.
O objetivo desse artigo é apresentar os resultados do levantamento dos agricultores familiares em processo de transição agroecológica no Território do Caparaó-ES, e discutir os fatores que afetam esse processo. O estudo revela o potencial dos sistemas agroecológicos para proporcionar maior sustentabilidade à produção familiar. Entretanto, os agricultores identificados enfrentam grandes dificuldades para desenvolverem este potencial, destacandose a falta de mais tecnologias e de assistência técnica com enfoque agroecológico, a falta de uma modalidade de crédito rural que atenda as exigências e peculiaridades do processo de transição e a falta de apoio à comercialização justa.

How can private standard accelerate the development of organic production?
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Gauffin, E.; Hällbom, L.; Sjödahl Svensson, K.
It is possible to use private standards to increase the speed in development of organic production in a wide range of areas and to do that on a solid scientific basis. KRAV has recently improved the standard performance in reducing climate impact of the production and the methodology from this work will be possible to use in several areas such as reduction of environmental impact, animal welfare and reduction of health risk for consumers  It is obvious, though, that we need to get more knowledge on how consumers value our extra requirements in the standard and their willingness to pay for these since this is of crucial importance to motivate the producers to accept more stringent standards.

Organizações sociais e agroecologia: construção de identidades e transformações sociais.
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Bauer, Márcio André Leal; Mesquita, Zilá.
No presente trabalho, procuramos discutir as transformações ocorridas no espaço da agricultura familiar pós-Revolução Verde, especialmente a partir do movimento contestatório engendrado por organizações sociais que defendem o ideário agroecológico. Inicialmente, procurou-se compreender como a identidade a e realidade social são construídas e reconstruídas socialmente. Utilizou-se uma abordagem fenomenológica para investigar como se dá a ruptura com a realidade convencional e a transição para a agroecologia. Com base nas evidências empíricas, é possível dizer que a agroecologia participa da ressignificação positiva da identidade social dos agricultores. Entretanto, o reconhecimento da nova identidade passa pelo questionamento da realidade dominante a partir...

Experiences of Organic Dairy Farmers with Ailing Milk Markets  - A Sociological Study in Northern Germany -
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Oppermann, Rainer; Rahmann, Gerold.
The case refers to organic milk production and the marketing of organic milk produce.  We describe the situation of two groups of organic dairy farmers working in  northern Germany.  The two groups are confronted with an extremely difficult choice. They have to  choose whether they will continue to follow a quality oriented strategy of organic farming  or whether they will favour mass production concepts – based on the principles for organic production of course.  Against this background several general results can be drawn from our study. The  process which we characterize as “transforming rural communication” is actually  underway in rural areas. The consciousness of problems and tasks related to the development of rural areas has become stronger.   More...

The Challenges of Governing Urban Food Production across Four European City-Regions: Identity, Sustainability and Governance
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Reed, M.; Mettepenningen, E.; Swagemakers, P.; Dolores Dominguez Garcia, M.; Jahrl, I.; Koopmans, M. E.
The development of food production in cities has raised some important questions about the governance of these activities and the role of city-regions. In this paper through four European case studies– Bristol (UK), Ghent (Belgium), Vigo (Spain), and Zurich (Switzerland) –we consider the ways in which food is governed at the city level. Our case studies demonstrate the role played by citizens in urban food and the challenges this brings to city-region governance. Through horizontal networking, being inspirational to other cities and citizens,communicating their demands and successes very clearly, urban food activists have raised significant questions about how cities are governed. Using the creation of localized identities, which are inclusive and...

Refined forage legumes as local sources of protein feed for monogastrics and high quality fibre feed for ruminants in organic production
Provedor de dados: 21
Protein supplementation is a challenge in organic livestock production. Use of imported protein feeds on organically managed farms limits the recycling of nutrients. Fractionation of forage legumes, through novel harvesting and biorefining techniques, into protein- and fibre-rich feeds for monogastrics and ruminants, respectively, can increase farm self-sufficiency with feed. Economic, environmental and social sustainability needs to be taken into account when developing concepts for localised food systems.  Mathematical models will be developed for protein yields of lucerne and red clover. Leaf stripping and juice production will be studied in experiments located in different regions in Europe and Turkey and assessed for feed value in monogastrics and...

In Denmark organic farming presently experiences a recession with 500 organic farmers leaving the organic sector this year (out of a total of 3500 farmers) and a lot more are considering to revert. A range of earlier studies has reported on the process of modernisation of organic farming. Not at least in Denmark where a lot of conventional farmers have converted to the organic mode of production and where conventional/traditional production and distribution channels have adopted a line of organic products, and the established extension and advisory service includes both conventional and organic farming.     The analysis in this paper is based on two qualitative interview studies among Danish organic farmers reverting in three regions of Denmark. The one...

Certified with trust and solidarity? Attitude, benefits and challenges of organic farmers in Participatory Guarantee Systems, Cacahoatán, Mexico
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Hochreiter, Claudia.
Organic marketing offers an important income source for many Mexican farmers. However, common certification by external agencies results in high costs and bureaucracy, thus limiting farmers’ access to markets. Participatory Guarantee Systems (PGSs) offer alternatives for farmer associations, organising certification as a process of social learning with broad stakeholder integration. The aim of my thesis is to give a socioeconomic profile of the farmers in PGSs and reveal their motives, agro-ecological attitudes, benefits from and challenges of collective organic certification with a particular emphasis on social aspects. For a comparison of a) participatory and b) externally certified farmers I realised interviews and focus group discussions in two groups...

Este texto tem por objetivo problematizar a noção de mundo rural e analisar as condições de emergência de novos atores. A partir da ideia de colonização do rural, os personagens que reagem ao processo de racionalização unilateral da vida social e biológica são definidos como novos atores, na medida em que reconstroem relações com o ambiente social e natural. A ação de novos atores inscreve-se no contexto de um campo de disputa de linguagens ecossociais e de distintas ruralidades, construindo-se uma racionalidade que se contrapõe ao domínio da racionalidade instrumental: a racionalidade ambiental ou ecológica.

Although the market for organic products has been growing in Austria for a few years, the rising competition of so called regional, natural or sustainable products should be taken seriously. One solution in times of “conventionalisation” of organic farming could be higher ethical standards in organic farming and more effective communication of ethical values, as it has already been practised by a great number of medium-sized and large enterprises under the name of “Corporate Social Responsibility” (CSR). CSR refers to all services that are beyond legal requirements, performed on a voluntary basis.

This  study  addressed  factors  influencing  farmers’  decisions  to  switch  from  conventional  to  organic  farming  with  special focus on outdoor horticulture production. A total of 343 horticulture producers responded to a survey con-ducted in 2014. The results indicate 12.1% of the farmers with conventional horticulture production were interested in converting to organic. Small farm size, horticulture being only a minor part of the enterprise, intermediate estimated yields, greater intent to grow new crops, hiring labor, having other income sources in addition to agriculture and participating in training courses emerged as significant predictors for the intention to switch to organic production in multivariable regression modeling. These results...

Norwegian farmers ceasing certified organic production: Characteristics and reasons
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Flaten, Ola; Lien, Gudbrand; Koesling, Matthias; Løes, Anne-Kristin.
This article examines the characteristics of and reasons for Norwegian farmers’ ceasing or planning to cease certified organic production. We gathered cross-sectional survey data in late 2007 from organic farmers deregistering between January 2004 and September 2007 (n = 220), and similar data from a random sample of farmers with certified organic management in 2006 (n = 407). Of the respondents  deregistering by November 2007, 17% had quit farming altogether, 61% now farmed conventionally, and 21% were still farming by organic principles, but without certification. Nearly one in four organic farmers in 2007 indicated that they planned to cease certification within the next 5-10 years. From the two survey samples, we categorised farmers who expect to be...

Wegen des Fehlens offizieller Zahlen ist jedoch schwer einzuschätzen, welchen Beitrag diese Feste zu einer erfolgreichen Regionalvermarktung leisten. Hieran setzt die vorliegende Studie an, die sich folgendermaßen gliedert.  Im ersten Teil wird eine betriebswirtschaftliche Analyse von 19 Hoffest-Veranstaltern durchgeführt, die eine sehr breite Streuung der Kennzahlen aufweist. Im Allgemeinen wird den Betriebsleitern empfohlen, sich Transparenz über Aufwand und Ertrag ihrer Veranstaltung zu verschaffen und die betriebswirtschaftlichen Ergebnisse im Hinblick auf die für das Fest formulierten Marketingziele zu bewerten.  Der zweite Teil...

Co-operative or coyote? Producers’ choice between intermediary purchasers and Fairtrade and organic co-operatives in Chiapas
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Milford, Anna Birgitte.
Coffee producers in many parts of the world have the option of either becoming a member of and selling their coffee to a Fairtrade and organic co-operative, or selling it to a ‘‘coyote’’, the Central American nickname for intermediary purchaser. This study investigates why different producers make different choices, looking at both material and immaterial costs and benefits of the two choices. A qualitative study from Chiapas (Mexico) finds that a main reason for not choosing the co-operatives is the production requirements that follow organic certification. A survey on production costs confirms that members of an organic co-operative have more work hours than nonmembers in the same area. A probit analysis indicates that both coffee plot size and number of...

Empowered by stigma? Pioneer organic farmers' stigma management strategies
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Lähdesmäki, Merja; Siltaoja, Marjo; Luomala, Harri; Puska, Petteri; Kurki, Sami.
Pioneers of organic farming often faced social challenges as their innovative ideas on agriculture not only encountered opposition in the conventional farming community, but led to stigmatization of organic farmers as social deviants. In this study, we examine what kind of stigma management strategies pioneer organic farmers engage with in order to cultivate an alternative positive image of themselves. Our research is based on the interviews with 14 pioneer organic farmers. Based on a qualitative analysis of interviews, we provide a model of those strategies that the creation of from a stigmatized to valued identity requires. Our study increases the understanding of the institutionalization process of organic farming by demonstrating how pioneer organic...

What can research deliver for organic farming?
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Atkinson, D.
The research needs of any applied subject are always influenced by three major groups of criteria. These are the economic/political, the societal/ethical and the technical/scientific. This is especially the case for Organic Farming which explicitly sets out to present a positively value based approach to agriculture, an activity, which has commonly become dominated by the commercial economics of an industrial society. To maintain this ethical stance Organic Farming must challenge some of the tenets of conventional economics and politics and must work within the particular societal context. Its scientific needs are then driven either by the need to increase its role in terms of market share or the need to achieve its aims more effectively in respect of...

Science should be capable of covering issues as diverse as farming systems, technology, innovation, climate change adaptation, poverty alleviation, extension, policy and practice, as they all relate to sustainable agriculture and development. Some years ago, the call for a new farming systems approach was raised to accommodate the principles of interdisciplinary, systems thinking and participatory research. Society calls for systems performance that provides stability and sustainability (SDGs!), multi-scale and territorial approaches and looks for solutions for critical issues such as employment, migration and inclusion/exclusion at the global level (World Society). We propose here a way in dealing with this complexity by addressing the mentioned problem...

Autores: Meyer-Glitza, Patrick.
Vegetarianism and Veganism have become the subject of public debate. But even a vegetarian diet including milk products results in the slaughtering of cows after their productive life and in the slaughtering of fattened male breed cattle. Narrative and semi-structured interviews were conducted on 5 farms that do not slaughter their cattle. These farms were either certified as organic farms, or are former organic farms or strongly oriented toward organic farming. Subsequently the interviews were analysed applying Grounded Theory. The emerging four principles of a care-system for healthy, handicapped, old, ill and dying cattle are described and related to the IFOAM principles. Further on innovations leading to this care-system and the main challenges it...

Ethical oriented activities going beyond organic standards in European enterprises/farms from different theoretical perspectives
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Gössinger, Katharina; Hametter, Monika; Freyer, Bernhard.
This article deals with ethical activities that are going beyond the organic regulations (referred to as 'organicPlus' in this study) and their communication strategies practised by organic farms and enterprises. The results are based on a qualitative survey of 100 organic small and medium-sized enterprises/farms in five European countries. Their engagement can be perceived in a certain sense as an opposite trend of the ongoing conventionalisation process in the organic sector. The organicPlus activities are related to the three classical sustainability dimensions extended by a cultural dimension. All enterprises/farms represent unique approaches with more or less professional communication strategies and a local or regional orientation. Therefore they...

Preisgestaltung in risikobehafteten Wertschöpfungsketten: Innovative Ansätze für eine faire Preisfindung in der ökologischen Milchwirtschaft
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Brümmer, Bernhard; Hellberg-Bahr, Anneke; Pfeuffer, Martin; Spiller, Achim.
Derzeitige Milchpreisentwicklungen zeigen, dass die Diskussion um Preisgestaltungsmöglichkeiten in der Bio-Milchwirtschaft aktuell ist. Von Erzeugerseite wird dabei der Begriff fairer Preise diskutiert, da niedrige bzw. volatile Marktpreise zu der Wahrnehmung einer unfairen Behandlung führten. Strategien zur Steigerung der Wertschöpfung sind bisher in der Bio-Milchwirtschaft kaum betrachtet worden. Es war daher Ziel des Projektes, innovative Ansätze für eine faire Preisfindung in der ökologischen Milchwirtschaft zu erarbeiten und neue Preisstrategien zu erschließen, da Erzeuger und Molkereien besonders von Preisvolatilitäten betroffen sind.  Anhand einer Scannerdatenanalyse wird gezeigt, dass Biokäufer im Naturkosthandel (NKH) vergleichsweise...

No presente trabalho, procura-se apontar elementos importantes dos sistemas agrícolas desenvolvidos pelas populações tradicionais, destacando o início da agricultura, a domesticação das plantas, a construção do melhoramento de plantas nos primórdios da agricultura até o advento das modernas técnicas dando origem ao melhoramento convencional de plantas. Destaca-se a construção do melhoramento genético convencional associada ao uso de insumos químicos e a formação de grandes oligopólios na cadeia das sementes no qual envolveu processos de perda de variabilidade e diversidade genética estabelecendo fortes processos de erosão genética e cultural. Como contraponto a esta estratégia surge o melhoramento participativo vinculado a questões sociais como a segurança...

Healthy growth: From niche to volume with integrity and trust
Provedor de dados: 21
Organic markets are different in different European countries, but common to all is that local organic market chains have inherent problems in moving from niche to volume, and mainstream large-scale market chains have inherent problems in securing and advancing organic values. HEALTHYGROWTH aims to investigate a range of successful mid-scale organic value chains in order to learn how they are able to combine volume and values, and to use this knowledge of the prerequisites for healthy growth to support the further development of the organic markets. The project builds on the following hypotheses, derived from previous research: 1) these mid-scale value chains are based on new forms of organisations and partnerships between farmers, businesses and...

Conservation practices are important in improving the environmental protection of agroecosystems in semiarid regions, as these are considered to be fragile environments. Soil-quality indicators are useful elements in evaluating the impact of some agricultural management practices, and the use of recognized indicators which are able to be measured by farmers is an innovative approach that seeks to integrate both scientific and local knowledge. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of various management practices through indicators of soil quality related to soil structure, in areas of family farming where agroecological consortiums are employed. These indicators were identified as important by the farmers themselves, and methodologies were suggested for...

Disconnection of the ‘organic’ food production from the ‘organic network’? - A Danish actor network case study
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Noe, Egon.
The Danish case of organic agriculture is generally regarded as a success story. But the enrolment of new actors and the growing economic interest may lead to a change of the ideological foundation of organic agriculture. The scope of this paper is to explore what happens to organic agriculture through the process of dissemination of the organic mode of farming and enrolment of conventional farmers into organic farming from an Actor Network Theory (ANT) approach. This is explored through an in-depth case study of the local development and dissemination processes of organic farming. 11 organic farmers and two local advisors were interviewed. The narratives of the local organic network give the outlines to three phases in the network building. 1) The pioneer...

Gender Effects on Adoption of Organic Weed Management Techniques
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Lohr, Dr. Luanne; Park, Dr. Timothy.
Nearly 21% of U.S. organic farmers are women, compared with 9% of all U.S. farmers. Little research has isolated the factors influencing adoption of organic farming practices by male and female organic farmers. Male organic farmers adopt more weed control practices than female organic farmers and use a different portfolio of techniques. Results from a count data model and a national survey of U.S. organic farmers were used to decompose observed gender differences in technology adoption into a characteristics effect and a coefficient effect. The analysis shows that 40% of the adoption differential is due to differences in characteristics of male and female organic farmers.  Education, experience, information sources, and institutional support are key...

Does organic farmed fish exist?
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Nielsen, Thorkild.
Most part of the Danish organic  fish production is currently exported to Germany and due to this the research project RobustFish has investigated the perception of organic fish among German consumers. In cooperation with Fachhochschule Münster Aalborg University has made a survey among  German consumers on how they perceive organic fish.     The investigations showed that the perception of organic fish is influenced by their general perception of farmed fish and their perception of agricultural production. Many consumers have a negative perception of farmed fish and rank the production alongside the industrialized agriculture – often contradicting the catch of vild fish in the sea.     Specific for Germany is the existence of regional and local certified...

SAGRI ALP: Nachhaltige landwirtschaftliche Nutzung in europäischen Alpenregionen

Autores: Richter, Toralf; Bosshard, Dr. Andreas; Müller, Priska; Hartnagel, Siegfried.
Der landwirtschaftliche Sektor spielt eine bedeutende Rolle innerhalb des gesamten ökologischen und sozialen Netzwerkes in alpinen Regionen Europas. Gründe hierfür liegen im überdurchschnittlich hohen Anteil an Flächen, die durch die Bauern bewirtschaftet werden sowie der hohen Quote der in der Landwirtschaft Beschäftigten im Alpenraum. Weiterhin leistet der Bauer einen wichtige Beitrag zur Erhaltung eines attraktiven, abwechslungsreichen Landschaftsbildes.     Oft vergessen wird jedoch auch die Rolle der Bauernfamilie als Nachfrager von Produkten und regionalen Dienstleistungen. Somit besitzen Bauernfamilien auch eine stabilisierende Funktion für die Aufrechterhaltung einer Mindestinfrastruktur im ländlichen Raum.    Besonders in der Schweiz haben die...

"Feed less Food" - Kraftfutterminimierte Ziegenmilchproduktion
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Rahmann, Gerold.
Wiederkäuer werden auch im Ökolandbau mit einem hohen Anteil Kraftfutter gefüttert (40 % der Ration). Dieses „Futter“ (oder die Anbauflächen) kann für die menschliche Ernährung verwendet werden. In dem Fütterungsversuche mit Milchziegen konnte festgestellt werden, dass Ziegen mit 10 % Kraftfutter die gleiche Milchleistung (550 kg) und Gewichtsentwicklung zeigten wie eine vergleichbare Herde mit 40 % Kraftfutteranteil. Die Ziegen konnten aus dem Raufutter die wertvollsten Teile heraussuchen (+10 % über den Werten der vorgelegten Ration). Die Fütterung muss den Leistungsstadien angepasst werden. Ökorichtlinien sollten von den Vorgaben für den Raufutteranteil in den Tagesrationen abrücken und auf Jahresrationen ausgerich-tet werden.

Der Rückgang der Biodiversität im Schweizer Kulturland konnte bisher trotz des im Ökologischen Leistungsnachweis geforderten ökologischen Ausgleichs nicht aufgehalten werden. Oft erfüllen die ökologischen Ausgleichsflächen (öAF) aufgrund minderwertiger Qualität oder ungeeignetem Standort ihre Rolle zu Gunsten der Biodiversität nicht. Unsere Studie zeigt, dass diese Mängel mit einer gesamtbetrieblichen Beratung effizient behoben werden können – sogar auf Landwirtschaftsbetrieben des intensiv bewirtschafteten Schweizer Mittellandes. Mit allen beratenen Betriebsleitern konnten Vereinbarungen geschlossen werden, die den Anteil von öAF von durchschnittlich 8,9 auf 13,5 % der landwirtschaftlichen Nutzfläche steigen lassen. Insbesondere die Qualität der öAF nach...

Los países centroamericanos son importantes productores de productos orgánicos. Su base de exportaciones, sin embargo, es altamente dependiente de un número limitado de productos (café, cacao, banano, azúcar) lo que atenta contra la sostenibilidad del sector exportador. Por lo tanto, hay una urgente necesidad de diversificar la base de exportaciones y de desarrollar mercados nacionales y regionales, los cuales están creciendo continuamente y tienen un gran potencial. El propósito de este reporte es dar un bosquejo del comportamiento actual y del potencial del mercado orgánico y de comercio justo en Europa, así como el de los productos Centroamericanos.   Este estudio es un producto de ECOMERCADOS, un proyecto financiado por SECO.

Autores: Flaten, Dr Ola; Lien, Dr Gudbrand; Koesling, Matthias; Valle, Dr Paul S.; Ebbesvik, Martha.
This study was conducted to explore organic and conventional dairy farmers' perceptions of risk and risk management, and to examine relationships between farm and farmer characteristics, risk perceptions, and strategies. The data originate from a survey of conventional (n=363) and organic (n=162) dairy farmers in Norway. Organic farmers had the least risk averse perceptions. Institutional and production risks were perceived as primary sources of risk, with farm support payments at the top. Compared to their conventional colleagues, organic farmers gave more weight to institutional factors related to their production systems. Conventional farmers were more concerned about costs of purchased inputs and animal welfare policy. Organic and conventional farmers'...

Neben der Erzeugung von Lebensmitteln und Leistungen für die Umwelt erbringt die Landwirtschaft auch vielfältige Leistungen im sozialen Bereich.  In der Wahrnehmung der Gesellschaft ist dies noch zu wenig verankert.    Untersuchungen, ob – und wenn ja, warum – Öko-Betriebe in höherem Maße als konventionelle Betriebe soziale Leistungen erbringen, gibt es nicht. Folgende Thesen sprechen jedoch für einen solchen Sachverhalt:    - Öko-Betriebe sind im Durchschnitt vielfältiger hinsichtlich ihrer Erzeugungs- und Vermarktungsstrukturen und bieten damit mehr Möglichkeiten zur Einbindung von Mitarbeitern mit unterschiedlichen Qualifikationen.  - Um die Vermarktung der Erzeugnisse zu unterstützen, betreiben viele Betriebe Öffentlichkeitsarbeit (veranstalten...

Sustainability of organic and conventional beef cattle farms in SW Spanish rangelands (‘dehesas’): a comparative study
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Escribano, A.J.; Mesias, F.J.; Gaspar, P.; Escribano, M.; Pulido, F.
Organic production in Spain has increased substantially in recent years due to several factors, such as the growing interest of the European Union towards preserving sensitive ecosystems; the potential role of organic production in the socio-economic development of rural areas and the growing consumers' demand for safer and higher quality foods. Within this framework, this paper analyzes the beef sector of SW Spanish rangelands (dehesas). These are traditional systems characteristic of the Iberian Peninsula where native herbaceous vegetation and evergreen species of Quercus provide the basis for extensive beef farms. Alt-hough traditional management in dehesa farms is of vital importance for the sustainability of this particular ecosystem, in the last...

Organic agriculture versus genetically modified organisms. Are these two agricultural technologies destined for co-existence or conflict? This is a case study from Australia about two neighbours in conflict - Michael Baxter who planted GM canola and Steve Marsh his organic neighbour. A timeline of the events before and after the contamination events of 2010 is presented. GM canola was approved for Australia in 2003 - but the WA government promptly put a moratorium in place. That changed when the WA government changed in 2010. Baxter immediately took advantage of the exemption to grow GM canola. What followed was ... the contamination ... the decertification ... the legal action. There are four elements to this case: nuisance, negligence. injunction &amp;...

Among several benefits of organic agriculture, emphasis on gender equality is one important aspect which makes it unique as it is believed that it empowers women. This can be contrasted with conventional agriculture, which is said to marginalise women. To understand gender dynamics in organic farming, 111 men and 69 women registered organic farmers were studied using a semi-structured interview schedule and on-farm observations in the context of livestock production activities during 2006-07 in the North Indian state of Uttarakhand, which has embraced organic agriculture by declaring itself as first organic state in India. Land and livestock ownership was mostly with men, whereas income was jointly managed by both men and women followed by women members...

Organic farming is recognized as one source for innovation helping agriculture to develop sustainably. However, the understanding of innovation in agriculture is characterized by technical optimism, relying mainly on new inputs and technologies originating from research. The paper uses the alternative framework of innovation systems describing innovation as the outcome of stakeholder interaction and examples from the SOLID  (Sustainable Organic Low-Input Dairying) project to discuss the role of farmers, researchers and knowledge exchange for innovation. We used a farmer-led participatory approach to identify problems of organic and low-input dairy farming in Europe and develop and evaluate innovative practices.

This study developed and employed a socio-economic-ecological-modeling (SEEM) framework in its analyses. The SEEM is made up of four resource use domains of high/low population density and high/low access to market and two agro-ecologies in the savanna of Nigeria. Data used comprises a sample of 320 farm households in northern Nigeria. The pattern of organic manure use varied slightly and insignificantly across agro-ecological and resource use domains. The major finding of the study is that the resource use domains made use of same amount of organic manure. The level of organic manure use is, however, below the recommended levels for the cereal-based production systems in the study area. Policy that encourages the intensity of manure use and crop-livestock...

Landwirte und verarbeitende Betriebe der Agrarwirtschaft, die sich dem ökologischen Landbau verschrieben haben, begreifen sich als grundlegende ökologische Alternative zur konventionellen Landwirtschaft und ihrem Prinzip der Intensivbewirtschaftung landwirtschaftlicher Nutzflächen (Lünzer 1992, Vogtmann 1992, Köpke 1997). Alternative Bewirtschaftungsformen sollen tragfähige Lösungen für die von Experten kaum noch ernsthaft bestrittenen Defizite in der modernen Intensivlandwirtschaft und in der Weiterverarbeitung von Nahrungsmitteln bieten. Die ökologischen Folgelasten moderner Agrarbewirtschaftung sind mittlerweile recht gut erforscht worden. Die industrielle Landwirtschaft basiert wie andere industrielle Produktionsformen einerseits auf einem intensiven...

In order explore the past development, the current situation and the future prospects of organic farming in Germany from a farm , a nationwide survey has been carried out. In total, 218 organic farms from all over Germany who participated in  a comprehensive status quo analysis of organic farming in the year 2002/2003 were asked to participate in a follow-up survey fourteen years later. 92 organic farms agreed to do so. Most of them assess the current situation positively. Also their current income situation and the general development opportunities in organic farming make them optimistic. Growth opportunities and the assessments of the lease market however are described in a rather negative light. The evaluation of the vocational training in organic...

Neste artigo, exploramos a relação entre Agroecologia e Agricultura Orgânica. O debate na comunidade científica em alguns países e a análise das posições ou discursos de pesquisadores e artigos apontam para distintas combinações, trocas e interações entre a Agricultura Orgânica e Agroecologia. Nesse sentido, primeiramente, com base na revisão de literatura, mostramos distintas interações entre esses estilos de agricultura. Além disto, analisamos as controvérsias das agriculturas em foco, bem como apresentamos uma síntese de dois estudos de caso para ilustrar a aplicação prática de princípios da agroecologia, ava¬liando práticas e valores éticos, relacionando-as com as lógicas familiares ou patronais de funcionamento da produção. Concluímos que as relações...

Support to organic farming and bio-energy as rural development drivers
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Abildtrup, Jens; Dubgaard, Alex; Andersen, Kristoffer S.
The paper conducts an analysis of the potentials of organic farming and bioenergy as win-win-win strategies promoting economic growth, employment and the environment at the same time. Empirical evidence does not indicate that conversion to organic farming will enhance economic growth and employment, but there are environmental benefits primarily due to the absence of pesticides. If energy crops are grown on idle land bioenergy has the potential of generating economic activities and employment alongside with CO2 reductions. Liquid biofuel production is a relatively expensive way of reducing CO2, but there is a potential for technological breakthroughs making it economically viable to use low value feedstock like straw and waste for bioethanol production. It...

GMOs and organic agriculture: Six lessons from Australia
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Paull, John.
GMO moratoria are in place in Australia, in some states and not in others. Is co-existence possible between organic farming and GMO farming? And if so, under what circumstances? Australia has more certified organic land than any other country, with a reported 12.0 million hectares of certified organic land compared to the world total of 37.5 million hectares. In a recent court case, an organic farmer lost his organic certification because of GMO contamination. A total of 325 hectares of his 478 hectare farm were contaminated with GM canola blown from a neighbouring property, and this resulted in the decertification of most of the farm. The organic farmer sued his neighbour, a GMO farmer, on the basis of nuisance or negligence, he sought damages for loss of...

Comparing attitudes and characteristics of  organic, former organic and conventional  farmers: Evidence from Ireland
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Läpple, D.
Despite an overall growth rate of the organic farming sector in the European Union, a considerable number of farmers  cease organic production each year. Given the commitment of many European governments to increase the size of their  organic farming sectors, reducing the rate of withdrawals from organic production may be an easier option than  attracting new farmers into organic farming. In order to reduce the rate of withdrawals, knowledge about those farmers is  required. However, to date, little is known about farmers who adopt and subsequently abandon organic farming. This  study attempts to fill this gap in the literature by comparing and contrasting the farm and personal characteristics of  organic, former organic and conventional farmers. To this...

Autores: Bauer, Márcio André Leal; Mesquita, Zilá.
No presente trabalho, procuramos discutir as transformações ocorridas no espaço da agricultura familiar pós-Revolução Verde, especialmente a partir do movimento contestatório engendrado por organizações sociais que defendem o ideário agroecológico. Inicialmente, procurou-se compreender como a identidade a e realidade social são construídas e reconstruídas socialmente. Utilizou-se uma abordagem fenomenológica para investigar como se dá a ruptura com a realidade convencional e a transição para a agroecologia. Com base nas evidências empíricas, é possível dizer que a agroecologia participa da ressignificação positiva da identidade social dos agricultores. Entretanto, o reconhecimento da nova identidade passa pelo questionamento da realidade dominante a partir...

Opportunities And Challenges for organic producers to access to finanacial services in Bolivia
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Jel, Jose Eduardo Lopez.
The lack of access to finance for small organic producers is the cause for side-selling experiences from the organic chains into the conventional chain. This issue risks the organic agriculture movement in some have not countries. Organic producers in these contexts frequently suffer from entering into the international and national organic markets. This is also due to the lack of suitable loan services that should be provided by public and private actors.    This study shows mainly the opportunities and limitations for small organic producers in Bolivia to access to loan services taking into account four study cases in this context.

Organic agriculture is one of the fastest growing agricultural activities. In Mexico, both the number of producers and hectares devoted to it increased in recent years, giving small producers an opportunity to eliminate part of the exclusion generated by conventional agriculture and allow them to get into the market. However, it is important to know the situation of these producers from various perspectives, so in this work the measurement of their economic, ecological and socio-cultural sustainability was carried out in order to show that their inclusion in tianguis and organic markets allows them to be sustainable. For this, three markets of the Red Mexicana de Tianguis y Mercados Organicos were selected in the states of Tlaxcala, Puebla and Oaxaca, 30...

Fairness ist ein allgemeines Grundprinzip des Ökolandbaus, wenngleich nur bedingt in Richtlinien festgelegt. Die zentralen Kriterien bzw. Werte von Fairness sind: Nachhaltigkeit, Qualität, soziale Standards, faire Preise, Transparenz.  In Bezug auf die Erzeugung, Verarbeitung und Vermarktung von Lebensmitteln gibt es einzelne, teilweise mit Schwierigkeiten behaftete Ansätze, Fairness zu operationalisieren. Um den Fairnessgedanken stärker implementieren zu können, sollen die Schnittstellen der einzelnen Glieder der Wertschöpfungskette in den Fokus genommen werden, denn die Definition der genannten Werte können je nach Kettenglied unterschiedlich sein. Hinzu kommt das Problem einen definierten Wert in eine überprüfbare Norm umzuwandeln.

Beef Cattle Farms’ Conversion to the Organic System. Recommendations for Success in the Face of Future Changes in a Global Context
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Escribano, A.J.
Abstract: Dehesa is a remarkable agroforestry system, which needs the implementation of sustainable production systems in order to reduce its deterioration. Moreover, its livestock farms need to adapt to a new global market context. As a response, the organic livestock sector has expanded not only globally but also in the region in search for increased overall sustainability. However, conversions to the organic system have been commonly carried out without analyzing farms’ feasibility to do so. This analysis is necessary before implementing any new production system in order to reduce both the diversity of externalities that the variety of contexts leads to and the vulnerability of the Dehesa ecosystem to small management changes. Within this context and...

EKOLOJİK BİR YAŞAM MÜMKÜNDÜR!
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Karaman, Hasan.
Current situation in the world and economic systems damage the environment; humanity consumes as it never did before and does this with a big damage to the environment. We can only be saved from this damage and the dangers it causes with policies and activities that are sensitive to ecosystems and that support nature and traditional agriculture. Ecological agriculture works to create an ecological system fighting against industrial agriculture that destructs the nature. We are a part of this fight, producing organic apricots in Malatya and showing that an nature-friendly agriculture is possible.    Günümüzdeki dünya dengeleri ve ekonomik sistemler doğaya zarar vermekte ve insanlık hiç olmadığı kadar tüketmekte ve bunu çevreye zarar vererek yapmaktadır....

Pueden los cambios tecnológicos basados en el análisis costo-beneficio cumplir con las metas de la sustentabilidad? Análisis de un caso de la Región de Tres Arroyos. Argentina.
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Flores, Claudia C.; Sarandón, Santiago J.
En la agricultura actual, los cambios tecnológicos son determinados según su conveniencia económica, analizada mediante el análisis costo beneficio, el cual no permite tener en cuenta los costos ecológicos asociados a la utilización de las nuevas tecnologías. En la década del ’90, en la Región de Tres Arroyos, se ha observado un importante incremento en el uso de fertilizantes, debido a un análisis costo beneficio conveniente. Para analizar las consecuencias de esos cambios sobre la sustentabilidad de la agricultura regional, se calcularon los balances de N, P y K (diferencias entre las entradas y salidas) para los principales cultivos de la zona (girasol y trigo) durante cinco ciclos agrícolas de la década del ’90. Las entradas de nutrientes no estuvieron...

Produktudvikling og kommunikation af det økologiske fiske-mærke
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Nielsen, Thorkild.
Fiskeproducenten var bekymret for om produktionen kunne følge med en evt. kraftig stigning i efterspørgslen efter økologisk ørred, og forslog en koordineret indsats, f.eks. en årlig kampagne omkring høst og slagtning. Det blev foreslået at tilskynde til øget brug af økologisk fisk i offentlige institutioner (skoler, hospitaler, kantiner osv). Informations kampagnen for økologisk fisk  bør fokusere på: 1) Dyrevelfærd, 2) Sundhed (uden tilsætningsstoffer) og 3) Bæredygtighed. I forhold til produktudvikling og spise kvalitet af økologisk fisk skal focus være på 1) smag, 2) lugt og 3) tekstur og bedre end kvalitet af konventionel fisk. Bæredygtighed skal ses i et holistisk perspektiv, e.g. modsætning mellem positive aspekter som reduktion i carbon footprint på...

Understanding the uptake of organic farming: accounting for heterogeneities among Irish farmers
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Läpple, D.; Kelley, H.
This paper examines the decisions of Irish farmers to convert to organic farming by applying the theory of planned behaviour to control for social influence and technical constraints. Cluster analysis and principal component analysis are utilised to account for sample heterogeneity and to identify heterogeneities in farmer beliefs regarding adoption of organic methods. The results indicate that the impact of economic incentives and technical barriers varies, while social acceptance of organic farming constrains adoption. These findings suggest that policy incentives mainly based on subsidy payments may be insufficient to increase the organic sector in the presence of social and technical barriers....

The Differentiation Process in Organic Agriculture (OA) – between Capitalistic Market System and IFOAM Principles
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Freyer, B.
The organic food chain is in a differentiation process, in between of external (society and conventional agriculture) and internal driving forces (IFOAM principles). Seven external tension fields were identified, which affected the differentiation process. One of the most important internal driving forces was the development out of the four IFOAM principles. It is recommended to address all stakeholders in the organic movement and to identify possibilities for transferring aspects of the IFOAM principles into standards/ guidelines. Furthermore, it is necessary to intensify the network with key societal players.

Adoption of organic farming: Are there differences between early and late adoption?
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Läpple, D.; Van Rensburg, T.
Based on the fact that not all farmers adopt a technology at the same time, it is argued in this paper that the distinction between groups is important because early, medium and late adopters respond differently to economic and non-economic factors when they consider whether to take up organic farming or not. The individual effects on adoption between the groups are identified by the use of multinomial logit analysis. The results provide evidence that there are significant differences in the characteristics between the adopter groups. The findings also reveal that the factors that affect adoption play a different role for early, medium and late adopters, particularly with regard to farming intensity, age, information gathering as well as attitudes of the...

The strategic turn of Organic Farming in Europe : from a resource  based to an entrepreneurial approach of Organic Marketing  Initiatives
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Sylvander, Bertil; Schieb-Bienfait, Nathalie.
This chapter explores the Organic farming’s development potential in Europe by analysing  the enterprises capacities to reach a workable structure of the supply chains, in order to  market good products at reasonable prices. This study has been carried out in the framework  of an European project (OMIaRD), which aimed to assess the impact of the Organic  Marketing Initiatives on Rural Development. The results show that, after a growing phase,  most of the Organic Marketing Initiatives meet a strategic turn point, linked to their ability to  face logistic problems, linked to an increasing of collected, processed and marketed volumes.  This strategic turn point leads them to take decisions together with their stakeholders, so as  the economic and ethical...

Deutliche Preisschwankungen auf dem Milchmarkt und das insgesamt niedrige Preisniveau für Milch, erschweren es vielen Betrieben langfristig die Vollkosten mit den Gesamterlösen zu decken. Der Bio-Milchmarkt kann aus mehreren Gründen von Ungleichgewichten potenziell stärker betroffen sein als der Konventionelle: Der Bio- Markt ist erheblich kleiner, so dass Angebots- oder Nachfrageüberhänge schneller und relativ stärker auftreten. Die Wertschöpfungskette wird mit zunehmender Verarbeitungstiefe von regional immer weniger Teilnehmern bestimmt, so dass geringe Störungen regional drastische Auswirkungen nach sich ziehen können.

Since agricultural markets become increasingly liberalised, the importance of  entrepreneurship in agriculture increases. A number of internal and external factors  related to farm management impede currently the diffusion of entrepreneurial skills.  The initiative ‘BioRegio Zentralschweiz’ encourages organic farmers in the region  Central Switzerland to start their own added-value projects by providing a common  service and a logistic platform for members. Experiences of this initiative show that  farmers need to be guided and supported by external consultants particularly in the  pre-start-phase of such a project.

Compensation for GMO contamination
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Paull, John.
A Parliamentary Inquiry was launched in Western Australia (WA) in December 2017 into how to compensate farmers for economic loss due to contamination by genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The Inquiry was prompted by the Marsh v Baxter case. In May 2010, Michael Baxter planted Monsanto’s Roundup Ready GM canola at his farm near Kojonup in the wheat-belt of WA. Next door, farming 477 hectares, were organic farmers Steve and Sue Marsh. GM canola blew over the Marsh farm. The Marsh farm lost its organic certification due to GM contamination. Marsh sued Baxter for damages - the loss of the organic premium. The damages were agreed between the parties at A$85,000. In a protracted legal battle the legal fees amounted to more than A$2 million. Marsh lost the...

In most modern free-range poultry systems birds do not fully utilise the range provided. Knowledge of the ancestral history of the domestic chicken, combined with research observations suggests benefits of agro-forestry systems for chickens. A commercial organic poultry agro-forestry system was developed for Sheepdrove Organic Farm, Berkshire, UK, affording the benefits of an agro-forestry system, whilst retaining commercial viability.  Five avenues of highly diverse parallel hedges incorporating tree, shrub and herb species were planted. On-going monitoring of the system was put in place to evaluate its development.  The programme consists of monitoring: 1) biodiversity 2) soil nutrient status and respiration 3) behaviour and welfare of the poultry....

No artigo é discutido um enfoque científico que pode contribuir para a superação das contradições causadas pelo positivismo e pelo pós-modernismo em relação ao caráter emancipatório da Agroecologia. A partir de uma revisão da bibliografia especializada conclui-se que o conceito de complexidade, considerando-se as suas consequências ontológicas, epistemológicas e sobre o conceito de desenvolvimento sustentável, pode desempenhar um papel fundamental para a superação de tais contradições. Conclui-se também que há, ainda, um imenso trabalho de ordem conceitual, teórica e metodológica a ser realizado para que as atividades científicas desenvolvidas no âmbito da Agroecologia possam se tornar mais coerentes com o caráter emancipatório deste campo.

Diversification and specialisation as development strategies in organic farms
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Zander, Katrin.
Unsatisfying economic performance, continuous work overload or the entrance of the younger generation are often the starting point for reorientation of the farm’s organisation in order to increase the farm’s efficiency. Theoretically, farmers are faced with two main options when looking for a viable farm strategy: diversification or specialisation. Based on a quantitative and qualitative survey of 40 farms, the results show that the decision to either diversify or specialise is usually a multi-dimensional issue. Only the analyses of the interactions between many different factors may help to understand the decision processes on farms. One central result of the study is that the personality of the farmer is the key driving factor in the decision on...

Autores: Rodewald, M.; March, Solveig; Madsen, G.; Brinkmann, Jan.
Organic farming in Germany benefits from a large number of different national and regional political measures, in addition to a positive development of general demand  of organic products. Despite these favorable conditions, however, fewer and fewer farms convert to organic farming. With the aim to expand the organically farmed land  in Germany, the BMEL initiated the "Strategy for the Future of Organic Farming". One topic is to examine the possibilities of the development and improvement of the  current organic subsidies policy. A nationwide survey amongst organic farms will also take into consideration the support of organic farming from the farmers’ point of view.  In this context, 218 organic farms from all over Germany who participated in a...

Pilotprojekt zur Entwicklung und Umsetzung eines qualitätsorientierten Fair-Preis-Konzepts entlang der Wertschöpfungskette im Bereich der ökologischen Land- und Lebensmittelwirtschaft
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Schekahn, Anke; Jostes, Anneke; von Lilienfeld-Toal, Sophie; Rueben, Ulrich.
Ziel des Projektes war es, ein qualitätsorientiertes Fair-Preis-Konzept für eine faire Partnerschaft entlang der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette für heimische Bio-Rohstoffe und verarbeitete Lebensmittel zu entwickeln. Das Prüfkonzept des verbandsübergreifenden BioFairVereins bildete eine wesentliche Grundlage für das Forschungsprojekt.  Die Fairness-Kriterien und Kontrollansätze wurden weiterentwickelt. Da sich die hinter den Fairness-Kriterien stehenden Werte nicht immer in überprüfbare Handlungsnormen umsetzen lassen, wurden Ansätze für eine Absicherung der prozeduralen Fairness aufgezeigt.  Zudem sind Vorschläge entwickelt worden, wie Handel und Erzeuger mit in ein Bio&amp;fair-Konzept eingebunden werden können und Möglichkeiten für den Einbezug...

Autores: Lampkin, N; Fowler, S M; Jackson, A; Jeffreys, I; Lobley, M; Measures, M; Padel, S; Reed, M; Roderick, S; Woodward, L.
Real improvement in agricultural sustainability requires that its assessment should involve more than monitoring changes for research and policy evaluation purposes. Producers need practical information and guidance on how to change their systems to affect non-fi nancial and fi nancial outcomes. Recent organic farming benchmarking projects have shown how practical tools can be developed with the participation of stakeholders: these include farm income and fi nancial benchmarking projects at University of Wales, Aberystwyth; animal welfare assessments at Duchy College; socio-economic foot-printing at the University of Exeter; and fi rst attempts to combine the different elements including environmental aspects by Mark Measures Associates and Elm Farm...

Autores: Neuberger, Konrad; Stephan, Ingrid; Hermanowski, Robert; Flake, Albrecht; Post, Franz-Joseph; van Elsen, Thomas.
Until now, the term ‘Farming for Health’ is unknown in Germany but it would cover a wide spectrum of different kinds of social agriculture already existing in Germany, such as farms that integrate disabled people or drug therapy into their farming system, or farms that integrate children, pupils or older people. Relevant work in Germany is done in ‘Sheltered Workshops’, where supporting and healing powers of farming and gardening are used for disabled people with a diversity of work possibilities. Relevant activities also take place in work-therapy departments using horticultural therapy and in animalassisted therapy. There are an estimated number of 1000 different projects for mentally ill, disabled and elderly people in hospitals, Sheltered Workshops, on...

Agricultura familiar e Agroecologia: um olhar sobre o caminhar da juventude rural no sudoeste paranaense.
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Paqualotto, Nayara; Godoy, Wilson Itamar; Verona, Luiz Augusto Ferreira.
O objetivo do artigo é apresentar algumas reflexões sobre os padrões sucessórios da agricultura familiar em agroecossistemas hortícolas de base ecológica no sudoeste paranaense. Os dados apresentados apontam que a mão de obra familiar nestas unidades de produção tem como tendência a sua escassez, visto que grande parte dos envolvidos nas atividades tem idade superior a trinta anos. Dos seis agroecossistemas pesquisados, os jovens integram apenas duas das famílias agricultoras, porém os mesmos não participam das atividades dos agroecossistemas. Este cenário proporciona uma reflexão a respeito do futuro da agricultura familiar e da Agroecologia na região, evidenciando assim a necessidade de ações para o seu fortalecimento, sendo que este é um dos caminhos...

Hurricane María: An Agroecological Turning Point for Puerto Rico?
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Félix, Georges F.; Holt-Giménez, Eric.
When Hurricane María tore through Puerto Rico on September 20, 2017, it left 17 dead, 11,000 seeking shelter, and the island’s 3.4 million people without power, water, or fresh food supplies.i  It also ripped off the democratic veneer of the US’ “commonwealth,” revealing the structural vulnerability of an island that has been colonized for over half a millennium. Disasters tend to unmask both unsustainable practices and inequitable relations of power. But they can also unleash the power of solidarity and self-governance as communities—abandoned by their governments and preyed upon by disaster capitalists—come together in unexpected ways. In the aftermath of Puerto Rico’s worst social, economic and environmental catastrophe, the Puerto Rican food...

Aquaculture is becoming more important for human consumption. Sustainable aquaculture procedures came up as an alternative, due to the negative environmental  impacts of conventional aquaculture procedures. Nonetheless, little is known about consumer segments for sustainable aquaculture and their preferences. Overall, participants paid a lot of attention on the declaration of origin; specifically fish products from Germany or Denmark were preferred along with local products. Consumers are  generally supporting a sustainable production. However, communication claims and labelling schemes should be improved to reach consumer acceptance.

Practice of Biodiversity conservation and Agroecology Enhance Climate Change Resilience of Organized Small Scale Organic Farmers in the Philippines
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Medina, Charito P.
Conservation and utilization of rice varieties by small scale farmers in the Philippines for more than two decades has led to retrieval of more than a thousand varieties of rice.  The variety of rice plant characters like performance under organic farming, growth duration, height, differential resistance to pests and diseases, adaptation to climate change as well as eating quality has challenged farmers to learn breeding from their scientist partners.  As a result of breeding, more than a thousand improved rice varieties were developed plus about 500 breeds developed by farmers themselves. Farmers maintain the rice varieties in trial farms which contain at least 50 varieties.  MASIPAG has developed a conservation support system through a national backup...

Wenn viele Köche gemeinsam kochen. Das Potential für eine Ernährungsstrategie am Beispiel der Stadt Basel
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Portmann, Madlen; Moschitz, Heidrun.
Das moderne Ernährungssystem gerät als Verursacher von ökologischen und sozialen Problemen zunehmend in die Kritik. Insbesondere in den wachsenden globalen Städten, in denen sich das weltweite Bevölkerungswachstum am stärksten manifestiert, wächst der Druck, das Ernährungssystem aktiv zu gestalten. Obwohl Schweizer Städte auf behördlicher Ebene noch kaum Interesse an strategischen Veränderungen zeigen, gibt es in Basel seit einigen Jahren vermehrt Organisationen, die sich mit Fragen nachhaltiger Ernährung auseinandersetzen und dabei soziale, sozio-kulturelle, ökologische und ökonomische Komponenten einbeziehen. In einer Studie wurde untersucht, welche Themen verschiedene Akteure in der Stadt mit Essen und Ernährung verbinden.

QUALITY OF LIFE AND QUALITY OF WORK LIFE IN ORGANIC VERSUS CONVENTIONAL FARMERS
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Alvarez, R.; Rodriguez, P.; Hidalgo, C.; Palacios, C.; Revilla, I.; Aguirre, I.; Batalla, I.; Eguinoa, P.
Sustainability is a concept developed from economic, ecological and social strategies in the decision-making process. Quality of life and quality of work life are two indicators very related to the viability and sustainability of farms. They are located into the social sustainability but in some cases the production system affects all three aspects of sustainability and transcends into a lifestyle. Organic production in several small ruminant farms analyzed in Spain provides quality of life and quality of work significantly better than conventional ones.

In our presentation we will focus on agroecology and the problems of sustainable agroecosystems regulation, by including a multiperspectival approach (Alrøe and Noe 2011) and a social systems theoretical perspective, based primarily on theories of Niklas Luhmann, Bruno Latour, and Charles Peirce. We will address two main challenges raised by our view on agroecology, the epistemological challenge of how to observe agroecosystems as a whole, and the ontological challenge of how to understand the existence of agroecosystems independently of perspectives.

Consumer attitudes towards organic fish

Autores: Nielsen, Thorkild.
This paper is dealing with consumer’s attitudes to organic fish. It is part of the research project RobustFish. The overall aim of RobustFish was to strengthen the development of Danish organic aqua culture. Surveys performed among consumers showed that the knowledge about sustainability and organic fish is relatively fragmentary; e.g. stories from the media detached from the context “overfishing”, not healthy fish farmed in Asia etc. Very few consumers were able to identify specific rules for organic fish, and often they were mixed up with the MSC certification.  The investigations showed that the perception of organic fish is influenced by their general perception of farmed fish and their perception of agricultural production. Many consumers have a...

Reclaiming the Right to live from the Land: Developing local food sovereignty alliances to normalise peasant agriculture in the 21st century
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Anderson, Fergal.
Throughout history, peasant farming has proved remarkably resilient to the forces of free-market capitalism both in Europe and Internationally. However, in many countries there are declining numbers of small scale famers, and an increase in larger conventional farms (due to international and national policies). There is an urgent need to renormalise and celebrate the resilience and adaptability of the peasant farming model, and look at how it can be adapted into our 21st century societies.

Conversion to Organic Milk Production: the change process and farmers' information needs
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Padel, Susanne.
The thesis presents a study of the process of conversion to organic milk production and the resulting information needs of farmers, and the impact of conversion on production and incomes of eight case study farms.   There is a growing interest in organic farming as one of a number of alternatives to intensive agriculture. Information is considered to be important in replacing external inputs with the management of internal resources and biological/ecological processes, but there is a lack of strategic thinking about extension support.   A theoretical framework for the conversion process is developed using concepts of changing practices and farmer decision-making that are compared with the experiences of the case study farms. Three key stages of Information...

The purchase of food and catering services for public institutions is subject to European rules on public procurement. Basic principles of free movement of goods, nondiscrimination and efficiency restrict contracting entities aiming to procure special qualities like local and organic food. However, the reform of EU public procurement law in 2004 permits to define environmental and social criteria in tender documents. National action plans and guidelines even stress the importance of sustainable procurement practices. By analysing tender calls for school catering in Berlin and Brandenburg, this paper aims to point out the opportunities and challenges that arise by the implementation of procurement laws.

Does instrumentalization of “organic farming” lead to enhancement or dissolution? - A case study of the local dissemination processes of organic farming
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Noe, Egon.
The dissemination of “organic farming” is a topic of great attention as a measure to environmental regulation, high value food production, etc. and the Danish case of organic agriculture is generally regarded as a success story. The prevailing strategy of the Danish organic movement has been to mobilise non-organic actors in the dissemination of the ‘organic mode of farming’. A strategy that is embedded in a dogmatic belief that the ‘internal conversion’ in terms of values, ideas and thinking almost automatically will follow the ‘external conversion’ into the ‘organic mode’ of farming according to the rules. In this paper farmers’ network-strategy to disseminate organic farming is explored through a longitudinal case study within a local area with a high...

Autores: Salhi, Salima; Grolleau, Gilles; Mzoughi , Naoufel; Sutan, Angela.
We study the role of positional concerns in explaining the (non-) diffusion of profitable and environmentally friendly innovations in situations where there is no conventional prisoner dilemma. Based on anecdotal evidence from farming activities, we introduce the concept of negative positional goods, that is, goods that destroy status in a given reference group, and show how interactions between status concerns and profitability can lead to unexpected outcomes. Several policy implications are drawn.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi de avaliar a percepção dos agentes envolvidos na produção e comercialização de produtos oriundos da agricultura ecológica comercializados numa feira de produtos ecológicos de Porto Alegre, estado do Rio Grande do Sul, avaliando o processo através de alguns aspectos da Economia dos Custos de Transação (ECT). Dessa forma, busca-se descrever como a confiança entre os membros permite o desenvolvimento de uma relação de afirmação na garantia de uma dada característica do produto. O estudo do caso mostrou ter relações de confiança entre os...

A reforma agrária no segundo mandato de Fernando Henrique Cardoso.
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Martins , José de Souza.
Já no primeiro mandato do presidente Fernando Henrique Cardoso, a política agrária sofreu reorientações significativas, que marcariam seu segundo mandato, a partir da nomeação de Raul Jungmann como ministro do Desenvolvimento Agrário. A reforma agrária finalmente encontrou o seu sujeito, a agricultura familiar, e o Estado encontrou a sua missão agrária como gestor do território. Foram assim estabelecidas as bases concretas para o exercício da função social da propriedade, recuperando o Estado, na prática, o domínio eminente do território do país. Importante providência nesse sentido foi a anulação dos títulos irregulares de propriedade de sessenta milhões de hectares de terra. O governo firmou a prerrogativa do Estado de "rotinizar" a redistribuição da...

Farm management, knowledge and multidimensional farming - some reflections from the perspective of farm enterprises as heterogeneous self-organising systems
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Noe, Egon.
The history of modernisation of agriculture is the story of specialisation into a one-dimensional food production, and in recent decades there has been a strong specialisation into one-commodity farms. Changing conditions in terms of technical features and market are commonly seen as the major rationale and driving force of this specialisation. However, the growing amount of knowledge and how this knowledge is produced and circulated may be an even stronger factor of explanation of this development and thereby a key to understand the challenges and barriers of the development of multidimensional farming.       Based on empirical investigations and theoretical reflections I will discuss the barriers and potentials for management of multidimensional farming,...

Der Beitrag des Biolandbaus zu einer territorialen Entwicklung
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Schermer, Markus; Kirchengast, Christoph.
The ongoing changes from an agricultural to a rural society force farmers to redefine their positions – regarding social as well as economic aspects. Organic agriculture provides a value system which is well accepted by non-agricultural rural stakeholders and can therefore be a potential starting point for territorial sustainable development. In Austria the approach of eco-regions (Bioregionen) provides such an approach. The paper gives some preliminary results on the preconditions necessary for the estab-lishment of such an approach building on the results of an ongoing national project.

Aspects of fair trade gain a growing relevance in the current debate on the further  development and reorientation of the domestic (mid-European) organic sector. Fair  trade aspects were part of the implicit self-conception since the organic movement  was established. The authors would like to show up ways how these implicit ideals  can be carried over into explicit standards comprehensible to the consumer. This  request can be reached via liberal, restrictive or transparent fair pricing schemes.

Credibility of organics - knowledge, values and trust in Danish organic food networks
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Thorsøe, Martin H.
The sale of organic food is growing in Denmark as well as globally, and consumers’ expectations of organics continuously evolve. Knowledge, values and trust are often seen as important concepts to understand the development of organic food networks, since organic food production is an alternative agricultural practice founded on a different set of values. Knowing about this difference is considered important for consumers to choose organically produced food. Furthermore, trust is an important mechanism sustaining producers' quality claims and enables consumers to act in spite of the uncertainties associated with modern food production. The ambition of this dissertation is to explore how values, knowledge and trust, act and interact in organic food...

Analysis of scientific literature lead to the conclusion that academic society, politicians and producers of agricultural products more and more realize the importance and significance of organic farming on the development of society through the prism of the sustainable development and understand that organic farming creates the preconditions for the solution of environmental, economic and social problems in agriculture. The analysis of the previous methodologies and results regarding the factors of organic farming has enabled the following conclusions to be drawn:   • the quantitative researches based on the farmers’ opinions dominated. The opinion of consumers was used rarely, and the qualitative experimental researches were ever so seldom. It is likely,...

Do organic livestock farms differ from low-input conventional ones? Insights based on beef cattle in southern Europe
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Escribano, A.J.
The objective of this study is to determine whether there are clear differences between conventional (but low-input) and organic beef cattle farms located in the Southwest of Spain. 33 conventional and 30 organic farms were compared in terms of structure, technical management, and performance. The results showed that organic farms (‘All Organic’) mainly focus on the production of calves at weaning age which are fattened in conventional holdings (‘Organic 1’; n= 22). The remaining organic farms (‘Organic 2’; n=11) showed to participate in almost all stages of the agri-value chain. ‘Conventional’ farms were mainly dedicated to producing calves at weaning age (similarly to Organic 1).  Organic 1 had the smallest herd size: 80.18 LU, p&lt;0.05). Organic 2...

Although the market for organic products has been growing in Austria for a few years, the rising competition of so called regional, natural or sustainable products should be taken seriously. One solution in times of “conventionalisation” of organic farming could be higher ethical standards in organic farming and more effective communication of ethical values, as it has already been practised by a great number of medium-sized and large enterprises under the name of “Corporate Social Responsibility” (CSR). CSR refers to all services that are beyond legal requirements, performed on a voluntary basis. This article discusses the topic CSR and similar approaches in the Austrian organic sector on the basis of 30 interviews with Austrian organic farmers and...

This study aims to understand the process of conversion from conventional to organic farming in Canada.   Specifically, it looks at what factors have affected this decision and if this production system improved the prospects for sustainability. In order to achieve these objectives this study uses a socio-ecological approach and focuses on organic farmers in Ontario. Besides including a bibliographic review, organic agricultural leaders were surveyed and life story interviews were conducted with producers. The results showed that the decision to become organic is influenced by the type of farmers, their context, and their rationale for conversion. The reasons for converting to organic depended not only on economic factors, but also socio-cultural and...

Encouraging organic cultivation practices in Swiss allotment gardens
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Jahrl, Ingrid; Home, Robert.
Allotment gardens are usually managed by associations, with small allotment plots rented to individual tenant gardeners. Many garden associations have rules for organic production but the rules are neither followed nor policed. To find ways to motivate gardeners to manage their plots organically, we investigate the attitudes of Swiss gardeners towards organic gardening, and which motivations can be used to encourage and promote organic garden management. Interviews with 32 gardeners and other key informants from three Swiss target cities were analysed using content analysis. We found that organic practices are more likely when knowledge is held and that the social environment has a strong influence on behaviour, so potential exists for encouraging a...

Urban gardens are popular green spaces that have the potential to provide essential ecosystem services, support human well-being, and at the same time foster biodiversity in cities. We investigated the impact of gardening activities on five soil functions and the relationship between plant (600 spp.) and soil fauna (earthworms: 18 spp., springtails: 39 spp.) in 85 urban gardens (170 sites) across the city of Zurich (Switzerland). Our results suggest that high plant diversity in gardens had a positive effect on soil fauna and soil multifunctionality, and that garden management intensity decreased plant diversity. Indices of biological activity in soil, such as organic and microbial carbon and bacterial abundance, showed a direct positive effect on soil...

European farmers are encouraged to participate in conserving national biodiversity on farms especially remnant old, undisturbed small biotopes, forests and permanent grassland. It is foreseen that this objective cannot rely on regulation solely, and to succeed, farmers need to understand the goals behind it. A set of indicators have been developed and tested on eight organic farms as part of a ‘green-account’ based dialogue to explore whether the farmers were able and willing to include such indicators in their decision making. ‘Weed cover in cereal fields,’ ’was used as an indicator of floral and faunal biodiversity in the cultivated land, and ‘uncultivated biotope area’ on the farm was used as an unspecific measure of wildlife habitats. In uncultivated...

Ethikmanagement in der Naturkostbranche - Eine Machbarkeitsstudie
Provedor de dados: 21
In mehrfacher Weise hat es sich als fruchtbares und aussichtsreiches Projekt erwiesen, die Themen „Naturkostbranche“ und „Ethikmanagement“ als die beiden Untersuchungsgegenstände dieser Machbarkeitsstudie zusammenzuführen. Zunächst hat man es bei der Naturkostbranche mit einem aus unternehmensethischer Perspektive außergewöhnlichen Wirtschaftszweig zu tun. Denn er zeichnet sich – wie die Studie anschaulich belegt – in vielfältiger Weise durch einen besonderen moralisch-gesellschaftlichen Anspruch aus. Diese Ansprüche bewusster und wirkungsvoller zur praktischen Geltung zu bringen, wäre die Aufgabe eines Ethikmanagementsystems. Die aktuelle Situation der Naturkostunternehmen mit ihren Umbrüchen und Risiken, unterstreicht zudem die Sinnhaftigkeit von...

The impacts associated with alternative methods of agricultural production, and the factors that drive their adoption, are critically dependent on the scale at which they are applied. Using organic farming as a case study, this project operating from 2006–2009 in the UK, will undertake an integrated assessment of scale effects by studying matched sets of farms situated in landscapes with high and low concentrations of organic farming. Clusters of organic and conventional farms to work with have been identified in the South West and Midlands region of England.

Autores: Beste, Andrea.
Der Beitrag setzt die Notwendigkeit einer ökologisch nachhaltigen Nutzung des Bodens in Zusammenhang mit der Frage nach der Sozialverträglichkeit der Verfügungsgewalt und der Nutzung von Boden. Auch bei einer ökologischen Agrarwirtschaft muss die Frage beachtet werden "Wer produziert auf welcher Fläche für wen?"  Die Kaufkraft und Nachfrage für Nahrungsmittel im Norden ist so mächtig, und der europäische oder nordamerikanische Markt so attraktiv, dass inzwischen auch dem ökologischen Landbau die Gefahr droht, dem Wohlstandskolonialismus zu verfallen. Der Markt für ökologisch produzierte Lebensmittel boomt in Europa. Einerseits ist die Kaufkraft ökologisch eingestellter Menschen im Norden sicher eine durchaus nützliche Hilfe für kleine Projekte im Süden,...

Les grandes transformations structurelles de l’agriculture, de l’alimentation et de l’environnement, qui se sont accélérées depuis le milieu des années 1980 ont donné lieu à une diversification des modèles de production et de consommation en Europe. Le secteur de l’agriculture biologique  occupe une place importante, car il voudrait répondre aussi bien à des préoccupations de santé, que des préoccupations environnementales ou même plus généralement civiques.  La question de savoir comment communiquer sur les modes de production reste entière. Dans le cadre de notre projet, il s’agit de contribuer à forger des outils permettant d’anticiper et de maîtriser une telle communication. Dans ce cadre, l’hypothèse de la capacité d’apprentissage (et donc...

Standards for social accountability, business ethics or working conditions are most times defined on individual business level. How relationship quality between trading partners can be defined is evaluated along the supply chain of farmers, processors and traders among the members of the Demeter association.   Out of ten guided expert interviews and two workshops the results show, that relationship quality can be divided in emotional and factual matters, although emotional aspects dominate. Management methods or structured evaluation of relationship quality are missing and prohibit continuous stabilization of business relationships.

Meaning of organic gardening in Swiss allotment gardens
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Jahrl, Ingrid; Home, Robert.
The degree of knowledge about organic gardening influences management practices, with synthetic fertilisers and pesticides more likely to be used when knowledge of alternatives is lacking.  Gardeners often already apply some principles of organic gardening but misinformation exists about the concept. Incremental change might be fostered through targeted communication strategies. The effectiveness and purposefulness of organic gardening need to be demonstrated to gardeners and their representatives, through e.g. diversifying the supply of information and education, creating opportunities for networking, and offering more tools for support.  The decision of whether to garden organically is a combination of the attitude held by the gardener and the culture...

Autores: Flaten, Ola; Lien, Gudbrand.
The new organic farmers may differ from their more established colleagues, which may have implications for the development of the organic farming sector and its distinctiveness vis-à-vis conventional production practices. The aim of this study was to explore organic farmers’ characteristics, farming goals and conversion motives, grouped by year of conversion (three groups). A survey was undertaken among organic dairy farmers in Norway. The newcomers (converted in 2000 or later) were younger and less educated than the early entrants who converted in 1995 or earlier. The newcomer herds were fed more concentrates and had higher milk production intensity than the herds of the two earlier converting groups. Newcomers more often mentioned goals related to profit...

Um dos procedimentos da Agricultura Orgânica (AO) é o processo de conversão, pelo qual a atividade agrícola em manejo convencional muda para o manejo orgânico. No caso do café, a conversão do sistema convencional para o orgânico pode trazer consigo, entre outros benefícios, a independência de insumos externos, menor risco para a saúde e pode proporcionar maior lucro ao produtor. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo verificar a viabilidade econômica da produção orgânica de café no Sítio Terra Verde em Espírito Santo do Pinhal, no estado de São Paulo, para o processo de conversão da técnica convencional para a orgânica. Utilizou-se a metodologia de programação linear para maximizar o lucro e minimizar o custo de produção do café em dois cenários. O plano de...

Innovations agroécologiques en Martinique : freins et leviers organisationnels, institutionnels, techniques et économiques
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: FERNANDES, P; TEMPLE, L; CRANCE, J; MINATCHI, S.
Les résultats montrent tout d’abord que la filière de produits dits « biologiques » se structure en deux organisations de producteurs qui se différencient, tant par le mode de certification choisie que par leur niveaux d’insertion dans les dispositifs institutionnels conventionnels. Dans les deux cas néanmoins, un frein important est l’absence de maîtrise d’indicateurs sur les conditions d’évaluation économique et financière des produits biologiques. Par ailleurs, trois freins majeurs sont mis en évidence par l’analyse technico-économique et agronomique des exploitations (i) l’absence de référentiels et d’appui technique adaptés aux conditions locales, (ii) la faiblesse et la dispersion concernant l’approvisionnement et l’accès aux intrants adaptés et...

The role of a civil society organization in the development of the domestic organic market in Turkey
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Akyüz, A. Alper; Aslan, Bulut; Demir, A. Yonca.
In this paper, we report of a case from Turkey where a civil society organization took an active role in influencing laws, regulations and their implementations regarding organic agriculture and the marketing of organic products. Although the country’s climate and biodiversity is suitable for organic agriculture, the domestic market remained underdeveloped; the organic sector was directed mainly towards exports. By establishing the first marketplace solely for certified organic products in 2006, a non-governmental organization became the locomotive of the domestic sector. The process that leads to the 100% organic bazaar exhibits a contingent characteristic where particularly social and symbolic capital were mobilized by the NGO together with a framing of...

Autores: Goel, Anurag.
Small organic farmers must adopt innovative strategies in order to survive in today’s competitive marketplace. The Mojo  spice farm is a small family-run enterprise located in the rainforests of the Western Ghats in southern India. Over the years we have evolved a strategy that successfully combines organic agriculture with biodiversity conservation and sustainable agro-tourism. The linkages between these 3 areas and how they can benefit small organic farmers will be shown using our farm as an example.

Why do humans keep animals? Does the answer help to define standards for organic animal husbandry?
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Rahmann, Gerold.
Domestic livestock, such as farm animals and pets, are part of the cultural heritage of mankind. Animals have been used for food, services, non-food or religious purposes or just as a hobby for thousands of years. Man-made breeding has created livestock that are adapted for different purposes and functions.  Today, thousand of breeds exist: adapted to the various conditions in human households.  The discussion of animal welfare and the definition of standards for livestock keeping have to consider the different functions, ethical values and perceptions of people involved (Badura, 1999). The differences of culture, as well as private and common wealth between individuals, regions and countries, can be a reason for different standards for animal keeping....

Farmers’ reasons for deregistering from organic farming
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Koesling, Matthias; Løes, Anne-Kristin; Flaten, Ola; Kristensen, Niels Heine; Hansen, Mette Weinreich.
Every year since 2002, 150 to 200 farmers in Norway have deregistered from certified organic production. The aim of this study was to get behind these figures and improve our understanding of the reasoning leading to decisions to opt out. Four cases of deregistered organic farmers with grain, sheep, dairy or vegetable production were selected for in-depth studies. The cases were analysed from the perspective of individual competencies and the competencies available in the networks of the selected organic farmers. Besides the conspicuous reasons to opt out of certified organic farming, such as regulations getting stricter over time and low income, personal reasons such as disappointment and   need for acceptance were also important. This shows that hard...

Lokal verdiskaping basert på utmarka i verdsarvområda Vestlandsk fjordlandskap kan ikkje sjåast isolert, men er tett knytt til heile samfunnsutviklinga på desse stadene.

Fleire av desse naturgoda er viktige for reiselivsnæringa. Kulturlandskapet er også viktig for verdsarvstatusen i seg sjølv, ettersom dette er ein viktig del av kjerneverdiane til området (OUV).

Storslettet fellesbeite er delt inn i 18 ulike skifter som kyrne beiter i tur og orden gjennom sommeren. Skiftene varierer i størrelse fra 8 – 30 daa. Kyrne er ute døgnet rundt. Sesongen avsluttes rundt 10. september. Det settes opp turnus for hele sesongen, og det er alltid to som melker; en fast ansatt i tillegg til en av gårdbrukerne. En uke melking og to uker melkefri gjennom sommeren gir fleksibilitet til anna arbeid, ferie og fritid gjennom sommeren.

Autores: Garibay, Salvador; Richter, Toralf.
Central American countries are important producers of organic products. Their export base, however, is heavily dependent on a limited number of products (coffee, cocoa, banana, sugar), which is threatening the sustainability of this export sector. Therefore, there is an urgent need to diversify the export base and develop regional and national markets, which are continuously growing and have an interesting potential. The purpose of this study is to give an overview of the current mood and potential of the European organic and Fairtrade market, as well as Central American products.   The study has been developed for the project ECOMERCADOS, which is financed by SECO.

Økologi i det tidligere Østtyskland

I juni 2012 tog Økologisk Rådgivning på en 2-dages studietur til området omkring Berlin. Turen var planlagt i samarbejde med Carlo Horn – der er konsulent i Naturland. Vi havde nok nogle ideer om, hvad vi skulle se. Men det er nok først når man er der, at det bliver til virkelighed. Strukturudviklingen efter murens fald medførte store ændringer. Statslandbrugene skulle privatiseres – hvilket skete via den statslige Treuhandanstalt. I praksis blev værdierne sat til salg og store dele af disse landbrug endte som et investeringsobjekt for kapitalstærke vesttyskere. Østtyskerne havde simpelthen ikke den nødvendige kapital og heller ikke muligheder for at låne.

Autores: Tittonell, Pablo Adrián; Grazia, Javier De.
La “modernización” de la agricultura, que en Latinoamérica parece manifestarse a través de la intensificación y de la concentración de recursos productivos, lleva al establecimiento de agroecosistemas no sustentables, con graves consecuencias socio-económicas y ambientales. La investigación agroecológica permite identificar alternativas para contrarrestar tales efectos, com especial impacto en los sectores campesinos de menores recursos. Si bien no es posible hallar estrategias de aplicación universal, los principios agroecológicos básicos pueden hacerse extensivos a diversas situaciones para una mayor eficiencia en investigación.

Autores: Vartdal, Barbro; Løes, Anne-Kristin.
Conversion to organic agriculture as a process of social adaptation was qualitatively analysed by the sociologists Barbro Vartdal and Arild Blekesaune during 1990-92. Altogether, 33 farmers were analysed, giving the sociologists interviews, written diaries or reports as material. The farmers participated in the "30 farm-project", conducted by the Norwegian Centre for Ecological Agriculture. The sociologists described three categories of eco-farmers, according to whether the farmer was cosmopolitically or locally orientated: The antroposopher,the ecosopher and the reformist. Their motivations of farming, conversion and mastering strategies as well as social barriers for conversion were described. It is argued that conversion is a social process as well as a...

Autores: Setboonsarng, Sununtar; Leung, PingSun; Cai, Junning.
This study assesses the performance of organic small farmers in Thailand under different institutional arrangements and over time. It was found that while organic farmers were significantly more profitable and profit efficient than conventional farmers, the level of profitability varies under different intermediaries. Farmers organized by NGOs on degraded marginal land showed a pattern of increasing profit and profit efficiency over time, after the transition period. On the other hand, farmers organized by a private sector firm on newly opened forest land exhibited a pattern of stable profit and increasing yields over time. The results showed that farmers under non-profit NGOs received the highest level of profit, followed by farmers under the private firm...

From Clean &amp; Green to Organic: Opportunities and Impediments to Achieving an Organic Tasmania
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Paull, John.
Tasmania enjoys a reputation as clean and green. It offers an apparent good fit with a vision of organic production as well as some natural advantages. Tasmania’s moratorium on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is an advantage for organic production.This paper presents some context for the progress of Tasmania from the puffery of ‘clean and green’ to the standard of organic. Australia leads the world accounting for 45% of the world’s certified organic agricultural land (22.69 m ha of 50.92 m ha.). Tasmania has been an early mover as an advocate of organics with organised advocacy dating from 1946. Despite this enthusiasm, Tasmania only accounts for 0.01% of Australia’s certified organic agricultural land and 4% of Australia’s certified organic...

Enhancing plant-based diversity within agroecosystems may be an efficient way to achieve the objective of designing more resilient and low-input agricultural systems. The objectives of this study were (i) to describe the plant-based diversity practices implemented in organic or conventional agriculture in France and (ii) to identify the motivations of the farmers to apply such practices. It was also to compare the integration of such practices in organic or conventional farming systems. The survey was carried out in five French regions with 196 farmers that apply at least one plant-based diversification practice. Five diversification practices were studied: diversified crop rotations, use of catch crops, simultaneous intercropping, agroforestry and...

Entwicklung von Strategien zur Ausdehnung des  Ökologischen Landbaus in Luxemburg
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Szerencsits, Manfred; Ruppert, Jim; Dahlmann, Christoph; Hess, Juergen.
To develop strategies for the increase of organic production in Luxemburg, NGOs  have initiated this empirical study. In total about 120 farmers will be interviewed to  investigate motives and barriers for conversion and attitudes towards organic farming.  Results are recommendations for political activities, information and advice. First  results show surprising similarities with a study in Lower Saxony in 2003: Motives and  barriers for conversion seem to be relatively independent of structural conditions and  the development of the organic market. The differences are more obvious according to  farmers interest, attitudes and knowledge about organic farming.

Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Zølner, Anette; Ricorico, Marie; Budhathoki, Mausam; Froesch, Mel; Nielsen, Signe.
Danish organic aquaculture is growing rapidly, which is not reflected in the consumer demand for these products in Denmark. Therefore, a mixed method study was conducted with the main purpose to investigate consumers’ understandings and perceptions of Danish organic aquaculture. Convenience sampling was employed to recruit 126 participants for a web-based survey and nine were further recruited for in-depth focus group discussion. The findings from this study shows that organic fish is often mistaken for wild caught fish. Factors including price, labelling, availability &amp; information, reputation of the farmed fish, and cooking skills were identified to be influencing consumers. Despite price being a barrier, the results also showed that the majority of...

What is the Working Environment like on Organic Farms?
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Hansen, Lene.
A good working environment is part of the fundamental values in organic farming. In Denmark the association of organic farmers state, that the aim of organic farming is "to give everyone involved in the organic production a high quality of living". But how do the organic farmers actually experience their own working situation? And what factors play a part in their daily physical as well as psychological working environment? These were the questions we set out to answer in a project at the Danish Institute of Agricultural Science.

A época em que vivemos demonstra sintomas claros da insustentabilidade do atual modelo de produção e consumo. A crítica a este modelo e sua relação com as inúmeras catástrofes ambientais e sociais, antes limitada a um grupo de ambientalistas, toma proporções cada vez maiores, atingindo amplos setores da sociedade. As instituições de pesquisa necessitam estar atentas a este momento, debatendo vivamente alternativas de produção e consumo que gerem menos impactos ambientais e sociais. A relação entre os conhecimentos tradicionais e os conhecimentos científicos é uma chave para a construção de um novo conhecimento. O conhecimento dos agricultores sobre a qualidade e o manejo do solo é uma ferramenta para a construção de sistemas de manejo sustentáveis. Neste...

Ökologisch und sozial faire Lebensmittelpreise was Biologische Landwirtschaft dazu beitragen kann
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Kratochvil, R.
Was ist ein ökologisch und sozial fairer Preis? Eine Frage, die aus mehreren Gründen sehr schwierig zu beantworten ist: Zum Einen sind „fair“ bzw. „gerecht“ subjektive Kategorien.Fairness bzw. Gerechtigkeit an objektiven Kriterien festzumachen ist zwar ein hehres Unterfangen, bleibt aber aufgrund der Subjektivität der Begriffe zwangsläufig unvollständig und nur partiell gültig.Wie lässt sich das Ausmaß der „Gerechtigkeit“ bzw. „Fairness“ von Bio- Produktpreisen messen? Ein Reihe von naturwissenschaftlichen Forschungsarbeiten weisen darauf hin, dass die Prinzipien der Biologischen Landwirtschaft u.a. im Bereich Grundwasserqualität, Boden, Energieverbrauch und Biodiversität auch real feststellbare Erfolge zeitigen.

Organic farming is developing dynamically in the European Union. In Poland its growth is dynamic but still not on a wide scale. The area of organic farms has just exceeded 1%. Research shows that the main obstacles of the dynamic development of organic farming are lack of properly educated young farmers, lack of efficient distribution system of organic products in Poland and abroad and a lot of small farms of low productivity.

In den Familiengärten ist Bio nicht gleich Bio
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Jahrl, Ingrid.
Das ökologische Bewusstsein von Familiengärtner/Innen hat in den letzten Jahren zugenommen. Viele Gärtner/innen sind zudem der Ansicht, dass Familiengärten zukünftig biologischer bewirtschaftet werden könnten. Biologisches Gärtnern wird jedoch von den Familiengärtner/Innen sehr unterschiedlich wahrgenommen und interpretiert: Während die einen gelegentlich chemisch-synthetische Pflanzenschutzmittel einsetzen, halten andere die Richtlinien strikt ein und praktizieren teilweise Massnahmen, die über den Verzicht auf synthetische Hilfsmittel hinausgehen. Dies zeigen die ersten Resultate einer Studie in vier Schweizer Städten.

Autores: Pavie, Jérome; Chambaut, H.; Madeline, L.; Experton, Catherine.
The main objective of "CedABio" was to estimate the environmental and socioeconomic benefits  anticipated in the bovine farming systems adopting an organic production mode. Beyond some obvious  advantages, the goal was to measure and ascertain the real contributions of a change to organic  farming for the dairy and beef farms. To lead this assessment, strong and technically accessible  indicators were selected, tested, and then looked for in 144 livestock farms, located in varied contexts to  take into account territorial diversity. Half of the farms were in organic mode. Their results are compared  with the other half producing in conventional mode, situated in the same zones, with similar structures.  The results and the observations performed in this...

This study presents a new approach to model the biophysical potentials for increased biomass harvest in Denmark, and a multi-criteria sustainability assessment of the socio-economic and environmental effects of different scenarios for such increased production and new biobased economy in rural landscapes. Thereby the results serve as input to the ongoing productivism – post-productivism debate related to rural spaces in Europe.  Empirical results from a case study of large scale conversion to biorefenery technologies, aiming to increase the total Danish harvest of biomass by 10 million tonnes via the conversion to new types of crop production and land management, is used as an example, and will be related to the common conceptual model presented by the...

Policy instruments on water protection of the selected European countries in relation to organic agriculture
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Znaor, Darko.
Introduction  Most agricultural operations, such as soil tillage, manuring, grazing, and irrigation, pose a serious threat to water quality. Agriculture is a heavy water user and a serious water polluter (nutrients, pesticides, salts, pathogens, heavy metals, oxygen-depleting and radioactive substances, etc.). In addition, agriculture threatens water habitats. The UN “Convention for the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes” ratified at Helsinki in 1992 obliges the signatory countries to further prevent, control and reduce water pollution from point and non-point sources. The implementation of the Convention is co-ordinated by the UN Economic Commission for Europe. In October 1999, this organisation commissioned a study...

Family farmers and major retail chains in the Brazilian organic sector: assessing new development pathways. A case study in a peri-urban district of Sao Paulo
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Blanc, Julien.
The expansion of the organic sector in Brazil is seen as a leverage for the social emancipation of the small family farmers. Next to the traditional alternatives circuits of organic food and farming, new powerful capitalistic actors, such as supermarket chains, are rapidly entering the Brazilian organic arena. Can family farming benefit from the development of these “conventional” commercialisation circuits in the organic sector? Research undertaken in 2007, in a green belt rural community of São Paulo, shows how family farmers benefited from the implication of large retail chains in the organic sector and how an economically and ecologically outstanding agriculture may arise from these circumstances. However, we highlight the crucial role played by social...

This is especially true for Nepal, a least developed country, where a high percentage of the population is dependent on agriculture for its livelihoods. It is thus crucial for Nepal’s leaders and resource managers to draft and begin implementing national adaptation plans. This working paper aims to create a more comprehensive understanding of how the impacts of CC will be realized at different scales in Nepal, from household livelihoods to national food security, and the many institutions governing the ultimate adaptation process.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Namara,   Regassa E.; Barry,   Boubacar; Owusu,   Eric S.; Ogilvie,   Andrew.
The Niger River Basin covers 7.5% of the African continent and is shared between nine riparian countries. The human population of the basin is growing at an average annual rate of about 3%, which makes the Niger River Basin one of the areas with the highest fertility rates in the world. The desert margin is expanding; climate change is negatively impacting rainfall; and urbanization, industrialization, and the human and livestock population are threatening the quantity and quality of available water resources. The basin population already suffers from chronic poverty. Based on a literature review, this paper suggests some key water-related and other interventions that are capable of easing the basin's development challenges.

Why Do Migrants Remit?: An Analysis for the Dominican Sierra
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: de la Briere,   Benedicte; de Janvry,   Alain; Lambert,   Sylvie; Sadoulet,   Elisabeth.
Two contrasting hypotheses about what motivates Dominican migrants to send remittances to their rural parents in the Sierra are tested: (1) an investment in potential bequests and (2) an insurance contract between parents and migrant children. Remittances from young migrants, males, and migrants who want to return to the Sierra follow a pattern consistent with investment. In contrast, female migrants with no intention of returning to the Sierra play the role of insurers. The gender composition of the migrant siblings affects this remittance task-sharing, since women with no remitting brothers show interest in inheritance, while men with no sisters offer insurance.
