| 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... |

| 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... |

| 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... |

| 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... |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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... |

| 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. |
