| Nanotechnology is the study of very small matter, of materials where one dimension is less than 100 nanometres. Surveys reveal that consumers are generally ignorant of nanotechnology, are concerned of its risks versus benefits, expect labelling of products incorporating nanotechnology, and a big issue for respondents is particularly the use of nanotechnology in food. Organic standards of Australia, Canada, Demeter-International and the UK’s Soil Association exclude nanomaterials, however a general nanotechnology exclusion across the organics sector is lacking. |

| The aim of HEALTHYGROWTH is to build knowledge that can be useful for the development of new organic value chains and new opportunities for organic producers. There is a major variation in how developed organic markets are in the different European countries involved in the HEALTHYGROWTH project. They all do however, all share challenges and interest in building knowledge on how segments of organic value-chains can grow out of the small-scale food segment without losing its ecological values. The HEALTHYGROWTH teams examined research of a number of successful medium-scale values based food chains in order to learn about how these chains are able to combine volume and values, and to use this knowledge to support the development of the organic market.

| Fairtrade retail sales increased by 12.1% in the UK while organics sales decreased by 12.9% in 2009. This paper examines the lessons that the organics sector might usefully draw from the successful experiences of the Fairtrade movement. Three lessons of exposition and three lessons of engagement are identified. Fairtrade has a common logo across markets, typically there is a narrative, and the provenance of the ingredients is stated. Fairtrade has successfully extended its branding to engage with places and educational and faith communities, and to publicly acknowledge such engagements. There are 500 Fairtrade Towns in the UK, along with 118 Fairtrade universities, a diversity of faith communities including over 6000 Fairtrade churches, and over 4000 UK... |
