This book provides a timely analysis and assessment of the
potential of organic agriculture (OA) for rural development and the
improvement of livelihoods. It focuses on smallholders in
developing countries and in countries of economic transition, but
there is also coverage of and comparisons with developed countries.
It covers market-oriented approaches and challenges for OA as part
of high value chains and as an agro-ecologically based development
for improving food security. It demonstrates the often unrecognised
roles that organic farming can play in climate change, food
security and sovereignty, carbon sequestration, cost
internalisations, ecosystems services, human health and the
restoration of degraded landscapes. The chapters specifically
provide readers with: an overview of the state of research on OA
from socio-economic, environmental and agro-ecological perspectives
an analysis of the current and potential role of OA in improving
livelihoods of farmers, in sustainable value chain development, and
in implementation of agro-ecological methods proposed strategies
for exploiting and improving the potential of OA and overcoming the
constraints for further development a review of the strengths and
weaknesses of OA in a sustainable development context
