s/r home issues authors 30 contents Synthesis/Regeneration 30 (Winter 2003) Organic Agriculture Fights Back by Lim Li Ching, Institute of Science in Society Organic farming largely excludes synthetic inputs—pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers—and focuses instead on biological processes such as composting and other measures to maintain soil fertility, natural pest control and diversifying crops and livestock. Organic agriculture gives priority to long-term ecological health, such as biodiversity and soil quality, contrasting with conventional farming, which concentrates on short-term productivity gains. Organic farming has been denigrated for being less efficient in land use and having lower yields than conventional farming, and even accused of posing potential health risks. But there are scientific studies, peer-reviewed and published, documenting organic agriculture’s positive outcomes. Furthermore, certified organic production is just the tip of the iceberg. De facto organic farming is prevalent in resource-poor, agriculturally marginal regions where local populations have limited engagement with the cash economy. Farmers rely on locally available natural resources to maintain soil fertility and to combat pests and diseases. They are showing the way towards sustainable agriculture through sophisticated systems of crop rotation, soil management, and pest and disease control, based on traditional knowledge. The charge that organic farming is lower-yielding is misleading.

Why Organic? Organic Farming 101 USDA Standards Test Your Knowledge ... Reference Articles Position Statement on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in Food Since we began as a small farm in 1984, Earthbound Farm has been committed to organic farming as a way to help create a healthy planet for ourselves, our children and generations to come. We feel strongly that consumers should have the right to know how their food is grown and what it contains, so they can make informed decisions about the foods they purchase and consume. We also believe that it's imperative to understand the potential impacts of new technologies before engaging in their widespread use. Genetic modification, or biotechnology, is a modern technology that involves splicing genes across species to alter or control specific traits. In the United States, many conventionally grown foods are now genetically modified. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 26 percent of all corn, 68 percent of all soybeans, and 69 percent of all cotton grown in the United States today is genetically modified (July 2001). The Grocery Manufacturers of America estimates that 60 to 70 percent of all processed foods contain genetically modified ingredients. Earthbound Farm believes that this technology has not yet been proved to be safe, and that it presents the possibility of long-term risks to the environment and to humans. Yet there is no legislation that requires the labeling of genetically modified foods.

es da de el en fr it nl pt ... Search EUROPA Increased consumer awareness of food safety issues and environmental concerns has contributed to the growth in organic farming over the last few years. Although it only represented around 3 % of the total EU utilised agricultural area (UAA) in 2000, organic farming has in fact developed into one of the most dynamic agricultural sectors in the European Union. The organic farm sector grew by about 25 % a year between 1993 and 1998 and, since 1998, is estimated to have grown by around 30 % a year. In some Member States, however, it now seems to have reached a plateau. Organic farming has to be understood as part of a sustainable farming system and a viable alternative to the more traditional approaches to agriculture. Since the EU rules on organic farming came into force in 1992, tens of thousands of farms have been converted to this system, as a result of increased consumer awareness of, and demand for, organically grown products. The sustainability of both agriculture and the environment is a key policy objective of today's common agricultural policy (the 'CAP'): 'Sustainable development must encompass food production alongside conservation of finite resources and protection of the natural environment so that the needs of people living today can be met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.'

WELCOME T he Canadian Organic Advisory Board Inc. COAB was established in 1992 as a national, non-profit advisory body to represent the interests of organic production and certification groups across Canada. The Board is a vehicle for collaboration of stakeholders within the organic industry and notably, agencies within the federal and provincial government that have been involved in the development of organic standards. Since the first board of directors were elected in 1992, the COAB has had consistent representation from provincial certification bodies and other diverse stakeholder groups. The COAB was incorporated as a national non-profit organization in 1996. Today, the wholly-volunteer board has a well-established set of bylaws and an administrative process that is reviewed annually at general meetings across Canada.
