Food retailers in Europe, including supermarkets, have responded to rapidly rising demand for organic produce. The organic sector has moved from a marginal production fad to a serious subject of policy concern for politicians and public servants involved in European agricultural policy. Drawing on a large body of scientific research, this book: reviews the organic farming sector in the 21st century and the policies developed towards it; assesses its contributions to the environment, food quality, farmers' incomes, and rural development; explains the key factors impinging on the organic farming sector in future; and makes a detailed range of recommendations for future organic farming policy.
