Synopsis (short abstract) By exploring a topic which has been much neglected in the past, this publication aims to provide policy-makers and law-makers with the necessary tools to evaluate the impact of existing law on marketing systems and to identify changes needed to achieve desired policy goals. Although it is primarily aimed at those interested in agricultural marketing, the approach adopted and the methodology outlined for analyzing the various effects of laws should also make this publication very relevant to spec ialists in other fields of agriculture who are concerned with the impact of the regulatory framework on their work.

    The fact sheets in this package provide an overview of the crucial connections that link organic agriculture to farmers, their traditions, their resources, their communities and the global markets with their potential for export and trade. The fact sheets also provide insight into the many ways that organic agriculture contributes to rural livelihoods and sustainable use of natural resources. Organic agriculture contributes to food security by improving household food self-sufficiency or by building farmers self-reliance: with its blend of modern science and traditional knowledge, organic agriculture can convert low-input and subsistence farms into more productive systems with increased capacity to manage locally available resources; the market for certified organic agriculture products provides income opportunities to farmers; and organic agricultures focus on efficient use of natural resources and biodiversity, and on recycling of renewable resources, helps sustain a healthy environment. Enhanced food production, income generation and ecological conservation set the path towards sustainable development.
