| Rapid growth of the organic agricultural sector in the U.S. and implementation of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's national organic standards in 2002 have lead to concerns that organic production could become increasingly concentrated on larger U.S. and international farms, disrupting the market access of small domestic organic producers. However, data on the U.S. organic agriculture show that the smallest-scale farms continue to hold a small but stable piece of the organic sector and that U.S. organic farm size has grown slowly. The amount of land under organic production worldwide is growing rapidly, particularly in developing countries producing commodities for export, many of which are not widely grown in the U.S. Small-scale producers using direct... |

| Organic wheat farmers in Australia face a number of unique challenges, and an in-depth understanding of these challenges is an important first step for government agencies, universities and other groups interested in promoting organic agriculture. This research was designed to develop a qualitative understanding of the biggest transition, cultivation, market and other issues faced by organic wheat farmers in Australia. Data gathering was conducted with a series of one-to-one interviews. The top challenge identified was rain, water availability and soil moisture. This challenge places unique risks on organic farmers because of additional cultivation cycles and subsequent delayed seeding. A second key issue was weed management, with particularly tough issues... |

| Sistemas agroecológicos ou agroecossistemas são sistemas de plantio que tentam imitar ao máximo os ecossistemas naturais (Azevedo; Boeira, 2020). Para isso, esses sistemas são norteados por técnicas, processos e princípios que sejam de natureza sustentável, ou seja, preservem o meio ambiente de forma a não diminuir, ao longo do tempo, a capacidade produtiva. Segundo Altiere (2012), a Agroecologia fornece uma estrutura metodológica de trabalho para a compreensão mais profunda tanto da natureza dos agroecossistemas como dos princípios segundo os quais eles funcionam, integrando princípios agronômicos, ecológicos e socioeconômicos à compreensão e avaliação dos efeitos das tecnologias sobre os sistemas agrícolas e a sociedade como um todo. |
