| The focus of the Special Feature on “Multicriteria assessment of food system sustainability” is on the complex challenges of making and communicating overall assessments of food systems sustainability based on multiple and varied criteria. Four papers concern the choice and development of appropriate tools for making multicriteria sustainability assessments that handle built-in methodological conflicts and trade-offs between different assessment objectives. They underscore the value of linking diverse methods and tools, or nesting and stepping their deployment, to help build resilience and sustainability. They conclude that there is no one tool, one framework, or one indicator set that is appropriate for the different purposes and... |

| Food safety issues in China have received much scholarly attention, yet few studies systematically examined this matter through the lens of trust. More importantly, little is known about the transformation of different types of trust in the dynamic process of food production, provision, and consumption. We consider trust as an evolving interdependent relationship between different actors. We used the Beijing County Fair, a prominent ecological farmers’ market in China, as an example to examine the transformation of trust in China’s alternative food networks. We argue that although there has been a disruption of institutional trust among the general public since 2008 when the melamine-tainted milk scandal broke out, reconstruction of... |

| 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... |

| The study examined the market with particular focus on North-Eastern Tanzania organic ginger farmers to sell into export organic market irrespective of existed supply that meet export requirements and high demand in export markets. Specific objectives were to: map the ginger value chain in North-Eastern Tanzania; to assess transaction costs that deter entry and participation of organic ginger farmers to export market and to assess the institutions influence on transaction costs and the market failure. Data collection was preceded by a preliminary survey that aimed to understand the industry and develop the value chain map. Data were obtained from organic ginger farmers in Mnazi and Mamba wards; from Non-Governmental Organizations namely Tanzania Organic... |

| Spydspissfunksjonen til økologisk landbruk er vurdert ut fra • Hensikt og mål med driftsformen (intensjon) • Økologisk landbruk som kunnskapsleverandør • Hvilke reelle endringer av landbrukspraksis/verdikjede mat har driftsformen bidratt med? • Dokumenterbare effekter for bærekraftig utvikling • Områder hvor økologisk landbruk har et utviklingspotensial som spydspiss Rapporten belyser driftsformens rolle som læringsarena, korrektiv og spydspiss i arbeidet for å gjøre norsk landbruk mer miljøvennlig og bærekraftig. Ulike tolkinger av bærekraft-begrepet er referert. Det er gjort rede for bakgrunn, verdigrunnlag, definisjon og prinsipper for økologisk landbruk. Økologisk og konvensjonelt landbruk, som to ulike driftskonsept, har mye å lære av... |

| Agro-ecological indicators are a tool which provides an agile evaluation of the ecological footprint of a farm. This paper analyses the preliminary results of a survey in which 7 agro-ecological indicators were calculated for 81 organic farms in the region of Lombardy in the northern part of Italy. The indicators chosen (all indicators of State) are: hedges and rows, energy input, energy output, energy output/input ratio, N balance, P2O5 balance, works unit per hectare. The preliminary results suggest that these indicators allow to discriminate between different farms on the basis of the productive orientation (cropping classes). In perspective, the use of indicators may enable farmers to improve the management of their farm, evaluating the ecological... |

| Among commercial fruits, apple shows a growing trend to its worldwide consumption, where dried apple plays a major part in food industry as raw material to produce snacks, integral breakfast foods, chips, etc., which have become popular in the diet of modern consumers in parallel with the human consumption of organic products. Despite apple tissue exhibits extensive and non-homogeneous discoloration during drying, it is nowadays often dried by conventional methods which, however, are usually uncontrolled and then prone to product quality deterioration. However, because no all conventional drying treatments are allowed by the European Organic Regulation (i.e. EC No. 834/2007 and EC No. 889/2008), drying of organic apples should be carefully optimized to... |

| During intensificaton of agriculture plant diversity decreased parallel with the decline of wildbee species richness. But wildbees are important pollinators for different crops and wild plants. Farming intensity and landscape infrastructure are key-drivers altering species composition and population densities of wildbees. We found, that extensive meadows and pastures, herbaceous strips beside hedgerows, flowering stripes and organic cereal fields can be valuable habitats for wildbees, also for endangered and oligolectic ones. The habitat-types included various plant species and landscape elements that are meaningful for many wildbee species. |

| The aim of the paper is to present results from a review of successful mid-scale organic values-based chains, where characteristics of such chains and their strategies for growth are in focus. The work is part of an EU-project, Healthy Growth, where ten European countries participate. Results are based on reviewed research in each participating country and a general review of research on successful chains. Results show that successful mid-scale values-based chains are characterized by an emphasis on diverse values and product qualities, they emphasize personal relationships between chain actors, are based on a diversity of consciously chosen sale channels both direct and indirect and utilize a variety of communication channels/means to communicate values... |

| This article gives information about the current situation of Turkish organic agriculture, especially by comparing the official recognition for organic farming in the European Union with that of Turkey and summarizes the existing constraints. The analysis indicates that the further development of Turkish organic agriculture depends upon the development of the domestic organic market and Turkey has to fulfil a number of conditions to provide it. It is needed that the Turkish state both encourages organic production for the domestic market and supports organic agriculture by all means. |

| Tillväxt av mögel och jäst är ett problem vid lagring av spannmål ensilage och andra fodermedel. Traditionella metoder för identifiering och kvantifiering av sådana mikrosvampar är tidskrävande och mödosamma. Det finns därför ett behov för att utveckla nya, snabba och pålitliga förfaranden för identifiering och kvantifiering. Vi har utvecklat en molekylär metod som kan används för kvantifiering av mögel och jäst som växer på spannmål eller andra fodermedel. Förfarandet är baserat på direkt isolering av mikroorganismernas DNA från spannmål och kvantifiering av organismspecifika gener med realtids-PCR. Metoden utprovades i ett projekt för odling av mycelväxade svamp (Rhizopus oligosporus) och jäst (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) på korn. En enkel DNA-extraktion... |

| Carrot (Daucus carota) shoots were enriched by selenium using foliar application. Solutions of sodium selenite or sodium selenate at 10 and 100 lg Se ml�1, were sprayed on the carrot leaves and the selenium content and uptake rate of selenium were estimated by ICP–MS analysis. Anion and cation exchange HPLC were tailored to and applied for the separation of selenium species in proteolytic extracts of the biological tissues using detection by ICP–MS or ESI–MS/MS. Foliar application of solutions of selenite or selenate at 100 lg Se ml�1 resulted in a selenium concentration of up to 2 lg Se g�1 (dry mass) in the carrot root whereas the selenium concentration in the controls was below the limit of detection at 0.045 lg Se g�1 (dry mass).... |
