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

Die Wustenvater - vereinzelt auch Wustenmutter - waren nicht an
einem Glauben light oder an einer Religion institutionell
interessiert, aber an echter spiritueller Erfahrung - und stellte
sich diese nicht einfach ein, dann warteten sie still und geduldig
auf die Begegnung mit dem Geheimnis. Fur suchende Menschen des 21.
Jahrhunderts sind viele dieser Wustenvaterspruche eine gute
Inspiration und manchmal auch eine Herausforderung fur den eigenen
Glaubens- und Suchweg. Die Texte entstanden im Schweigen und in der
Meditation, starten bei existentiellen Erfahrungen und laden dazu
ein, sie ebenso zu lesen und zu verdauen.
Since the 1980's, market-based instruments for environmental policy
have become increasingly important. Focusing on environmental
taxation in practice, this volume collects key contributions on a
wide range of topics, including comparisons of environmental
taxation schemes in different countries, political economy issues
and key aspects of concrete implementation. It presents a wealth of
ex-ante and ex-post analyses, intended as a source of guidance for
policy implementation and research. The volume features a
full-length introduction locating the literature on environmental
taxation in practice in a wider context of theoretical and applied
issues.
