The book gives an overview of the organic sector, both in Italy and
in the US, and to show how agricultural economists are performing
analyses dealing with organic produce on different points in the
supply chain. The book covers economic issues raised by organic
farming, taking into account the consumer's needs but also the
managerial and budget constraints experienced by the farmers. Farm
management methodologies, as well as marketing analyses have been
applied to specific research topics involving several industries in
the agri-food sector. The papers strive to answer questions that
have a managerial relevance: e.g. Are the producers ready to adopt
organic farming techniques, and are the consumers willing to pay a
premium price for a certified organic produce? Most of the
contributions were presented during the 8th Padova-Minnesota
Conference on Food, Agriculture, and the Environment, held in
Stout's Lodge, Red Cedar Lake, Wisconsin, on August 26-28, 2002.
The editors have added authors to round out the subject.
