Beyond Equal: From Same but Different to the Doctrine of Substantial Equivalence
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Paull, John.
A same-but-different dichotomy has recently been encapsulated within the ill-defined concept of “substantial equivalence”. By invoking this concept the genetically modified organism (GMO) industry has escaped the rigors of safety testing that might otherwise apply.     The curious concept of “substantial equivalence” grants a presumption of safety to GMO food. This presumption has yet to be earned, and has been used to constrain labelling of both GMO and non-GMO food. It is an idea that well serves corporatism. It enables the claim of difference to secure patent protection, while upholding the contrary claim of sameness to avoid labelling and safety scrutiny. It offers the best of both worlds for corporate food entrepreneurs, and delivers the worst of both...

Poster: Dropping organic certification - effects on organic farming in Norway
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Koesling, Matthias; Løes, Anne-Kristin; Flaten, Ola; Lien, Gudbrand.
Numerous studies have examined organic farmers’ characteristics, motives, attitudes and barriers related to the conversion from conventional to organic farming. Recent studies have also discussed the perceived problems and reasons stated by organic farmers for opting out of certified production. In Norway, farmers’ reasons for opting out of certified organic farming have so far just been explored on a regional level or limited to one production; most such analyses have not been published internationally. E.g., it has not been explored if the farmers in question return to conventional practices or exit farming altogether.

Angebotssteigerung von ökologisch erzeugtem Obst und Gemüse aus dem Oberrheingebiet
Provedor de dados: 21
Ausgangspunkt des Projekts ist der landwirtschaftliche Betrieb und sein Vermarktungsumfeld. Zentrale Fragen der Studie sind:  Welche Faktoren fördern und hemmen bei ökologischen Betrieben und auch bei umstellungsinteressierten konventionellen Betrieben eine Angebotssteigerung?  Welche Rolle spielen bisherige Absatzwege? Sind diese ausbaufähig? Welche Bedingungen sind mit dem Erschließen neuer Absatzwege verbunden?  Sind neue vertikale und/oder horizontale Kooperationen, auch grenzüberschreitend, umsetzbar    Projektziele      Aufzeigen von Möglichkeiten zur angepaßten Angebotssteigerung von ökologischem Obst und Gemüse in Relation zur jeweiligen Nachfrageentwicklung.  Prüfen der Möglichkeit von grenzüberschreitenden Angebotsergänzungen bei Bioobst und...

Ausstieg aus der zertifiziert ökologischen Landwirtschaft in  Norwegen – Motivation und anschließende Wirtschaftsweise
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Koesling, Matthias; Løes, Anne-Kristin.
From 2002 to 2006, 7 % of the certified organic farmers in Norway opted out. A  combination of a qualitative and quantitative approach was used to explore how many  farmers consider to opt out, their reasons for this, and how close to or far from the  organic principles they plan to manage the farm afterwards. 24 % of the certified  organic farms consider to opt out in the next 5 to 10 years. The main reasons were  frustration about certification, too low subsidies and premium prices, and unpredictable  political frame conditions. Most plan to change to conventional farming, but  more than 25 % plan to practice close to organic standards, with no or little use of  pesticides and artificial fertilizers. These farmers sell about 25 % of their produce...

Framtid for økolandbruket?
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Løes, Anne-Kristin; Koesling, Matthias; Flaten, Ola; Lien, Gudbrand.
Med et offentlig mål om at 15 % av matproduksjonen og -forbruket skal være økologisk i 2015, må norsk økologisk landbruk vokse raskt og mye. Da er det problematisk at mange økobønder slutter. Fra 2004 til 2007 meldte 646 bønder seg ut av Debios kontrollordning for økologisk produksjon. Nettotilveksten i samme periode var bare 177 bruk, slik at det i 2007 var 2611 økogårder i Norge. Andel økologisk jordbruksareal økte fra 3,4 til 3,9 %, noe som er for sakte i forhold til målsetningen.

Towards a strategy for organic agriculture development in Lebanon
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: BTEICH, Marie Reine.
The Lebanese agricultural sector faces problems, which limit its development and impoverish people involved in it. Organic agriculture aims at developing self-reliant and environmentally-sound farming systems, which can improve the economic and social situation of those who participate in the production, processing and marketing processes. Therefore organic agriculture can be considered as a solution to degraded agricultural systems and to unviable rural areas. In Lebanon, organic agriculture is in its very initial phase and to date, no field study has been undertaken to describe the status of the sector nor its potential for development. This study was based upon a survey conducted in Lebanon in March-April 2002. The survey covered the different interest...

Økobonden og byråkratiet
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Løes, Anne-Kristin; Koesling, Matthias; Flaten, Ola; Lien, Gudbrand.
I løpet av de siste årene har flere hundre økobønder meldt seg ut av Debio, kontrollorganet for økologisk landbruk i NOrge. Samtidig viser en nylig gjennomført spørreundersøkelse blant tidligere og nåværende økobønder at en av fire økobønder vurderer å melde seg ut (se kronikk av samme forfattere i Nationen 7. mai 2008). De viktigste årsakene til å melde seg ut var 1) for mye byråkrati med Debio-sertifisering og –kontroll, 2) for små tilskudd til økologisk landbruk, 3) uforutsigbare politiske rammevilkår for økologisk landbruk og 4) for lav merpris på økovarer.

Organic farming policy in the European Union
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Padel, Susanne; Lampkin, Nicolas; Dabbert, Stephan; Foster, Carolyn.
Organic farming is recognised in the European Union as one possible model to improve the sustainability of agriculture. During the 1990s the sector grew rapidly (to 3% of agricultural area in 2000), caused in part by policy support measures in member states and the EU. The paper summarises the development of the organic sector, discusses reasons for policy support, and reviews the main policy measures at EU and country level in three areas: legislation defining organic production, direct payments and other measures. It concludes that in future the integration of policy measures within countries and at EU level should be improved, in particular through the development of national and European action plans for organic farming.

En australsk øjenåbner
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Ingemann, Jan Holm.
I Europæisk sammenhæng er vi vant til at tænke, at økologisk jordbrug er certificeret. Det skyldes, at certificering er forudsætning for merpris og for særlige subsidier. I Australien er subsidier stort set fraværende, og en lang række producenter anvender følgelig økologiske metoder uden at være certificerede.

Presentation: Dropping organic certification - effects on organic farming in Norway
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Løes, Anne-Kristin; Koesling, Matthias; Flaten, Ola; Lien, Gudbrand.
From 2002 to 06, the annual dropout rate of certified organic farmers averaged 7.3%. A project was started in 2007 to explore farmer’s reasons for opting out of certified organic production. Important factors seem to be public regulations including standards for organic farming, agronomy, economy, and farm exit. While many organic farmers with relatively small holdings have opted out, farmers with more land and larger herds tend to convert to organic agriculture. The trend towards larger-scale farms in organic than in conventional agriculture, encouraged by the design of the organic farming payments, challenges the organic principles of diversity and fairness. Means should be considered to ensure that small organic enterprises are also economically viable.

Factors influencing the conversion to organic farming in Norway
Provedor de dados: 21
Autores: Koesling, Matthias; Flaten, Ola; Lien, Gudbrand.
Determinants of the decision to convert to organic farming methods are examined by applying bivariate analyses and a multinomial logit model to a survey of 1018 Norwegian crop and dairy farmers. The results show that 4% of the conventional respondents plan to convert by 2009, which may imply that the national goal of 10% organically managed area will not be achieved. The analysis indicates that organic farmers, compared to their conventional counterparts, are more likely to have larger farms, more education, be located closer to urban areas, be crop farmers, have 'sustainable and environment-friendly farming' as a goal and hold favourable views about the values of organic farming methods. Even though the farmers who are planning to convert seem to be more...
