| Organic farming commits itself to a number of substantial values, and thereby it sets itself apart from conventional farming. In general, conventional large-scale intensive farming only commits itself to producing what the market demands. The market is, of course, regulated by national and international legislation. Within the limits set by legislation, international competition leaves very limited freedom of action for producers. This puts the responsibility for the state of affairs largely on the consumer or legislators.1 If, for instance, consumers would like to have better conditions for farm animals, the conventional farmers would, in theory at least, be happy to provide it as long as a sufficiently large segment of consumers are willing to pay more... |

| The global principles of organic agriculture were designed to represent the overarching values of organic groups around the world. Similarly, basic organic standards were intended to provide a common language for cross-cultural agreement on the production of organic products. In practice, however, the widespread promotion of organic export trade has created a situation whereby organic agriculture continues to be perceived by many in the development sector as a western, industrialised concept and one which is not compatible with the realities of many of the exporter, less-industrialised countries. This paper argues that to reverse this trend and perception, attention must be paid to encourage debate and tease out local and national concepts of organic... |

| Providing assurances to consumers on the adherence to certain animal welfare-related standards is an important element of organic and farm assurance schemes. This project has ensured that preliminary welfare assessment protocols developed in a conventional farm assurance system (RSPCA Freedom Food scheme) are available for incorporation into organic (& conventional) certification schemes. The final system (available at www.vetschool.bris.ac.uk/animalwelfare) is an assessment tool that can provide credible (repeatable, valid & feasible) evidence for assessment of compliance with welfare standards in organic and conventional farming systems. For issues identified as causing potential concern the assessor is encouraged to conduct further... |

| Using a double hurdle model on panel data from 3200 Danish households (monthly observations for 2002-2007) we study the effects of media information about pesticides and information that link health and consumption of organic foods and information on demand for organic fruits and vegetables. We find that ‘negative’ information about pesticides contained in conventional fruits and vegetables influences the probability of a consumer entering the organic market while ‘positive’ information that link health and consumption of organic foods influences the quantities consumed by households that are already active on the organic market. Our dataset includes information about consumers’ media habits allowing us to disentangle the direct effects of media... |

| Due to globalisation and growing anonymity of trade with organic products, farmers in Europe are under pressure to lower their production standards in order to keep up with world-wide competition. On the other hand consumers increasingly criticise food products which were produced under unsatisfactory social and environmental conditions. The arising question is whether there is a demand for organic food with additional ethical values in order to create possibilities of product differentiation with respect to ethical values. This paper investigates various ethical communication arguments and the price from the consumers’ perspective by means of an Information-Display-Matrix in five European countries. It turns out that ‘regional production’ and ‘animal... |

| Ziel des Vorhabens ist die Erhöhung der Markttransparenz im Bereich des Ökologischen Landbaus durch Bereitstellung eines Verzeichnisses von Unternehmen, die dem Kontrollverfahren nach VO(EWG) Nr. 2092/91 unterstehen und Produkte entsprechend kennzeichnen dürfen. Im Rahmen des Projektes wurde ein EDV-technisches Verfahren umgesetzt, das webbasiert wichtige Kenndaten der kontrollunterworfenen Unternehmen in einer zentralen Datenbank zusammenführt. Die Daten werden direkt von den einzelnen Kontrollstellen zur Verfügung gestellt und regelmäßig aktualisiert. Automatisiert können aus der Datenbank heraus fälschungssichere, schriftliche Bescheinigungen erstellt werden, aus denen hervorgeht, dass ein Unternehmen zum betreffenden Zeitpunkt im Verzeichnis als... |

| The present study investigates the relationships between consumer categorization of organic versus non-organic food products, consumers' underlying perceptions of organic food, and their propensity to consume organic foods. A choice experiment is used to test these relations in a case study involving consumer preferences for attributes relating to milk. First and foremost, we find a strong link between how consumers categorize food and their organic profile. Second, we find that knowledge concerning a claim stating that milk from grazing cows is healthier, serves as a way to categorize consumers according to their organic profile. Third, our study supports earlier findings which indicate that socio-demographic factors, such as living in a big city and... |

| On 24 June 1991, the Council of the European Union adopted Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs. As well as defining the required method of production of crops and livestock they also regulate labelling, processing, marketing, import and inspection. The research project iPOPY compares and analyses procedures for certification of food-serving outlets within its participating countries (Norway, Denmark, Finland and Italy) using Germany as a reference. While Denmark chooses government agencies to carry out the inspection and certification, Italy, Finland, Norway and Germany choose a state-supervised private system. With the exception of Italy all... |
