Organic Agriculture A Global Perspective

---

This book however, also does justice to its title in a very different way: it is ‘global’ in that various contributions elucidate the subject in a general way. Furthermore, the book offers different approaches from different regions of the world, as represented by a host of international authors. The subject is thus dealt with ‘globally’ in yet another sense; by encompassing many regions of the world, the perspectives albeit shaped by the diversity of regional and local sites as well as individual authors’ points of view concerning the specific strategies of organic agriculture. This highlights once more the principle of organic agriculture as an environmentally sound and site-adapted agricultural approach. Thus, the reader is able to detect specific or individual aspects of organic agriculture within broader and more general accounts, far from generalisation or simplification. The reader will gain a comprehensive overview through review-like contributions that comprehensively present the state of the art, but also offer fundamentally new and deeper insights. Other, more specific contributions offer both new outlooks or conclusions, and thoughts on the prospects of organic farming and its further evolution. The further evolution of organic agriculture presupposes intensified education and training in all areas of knowledge and capacity building, especially when it comes to participation and the fostering of social competency. Thus, the book is positioned at the intersection of research, education and practice. The further development of organic agriculture, which originally developed out of agricultural practice, is impossible without solid scientific grounding. Nevertheless, insights and experience remain without implementation, and therefore effect, if they fail to achieve the target groups’ proper reception. Hence, this book might inspire its readers to continue intensive research in organic agriculture. I hope that it will contribute to the opening up of the scientific community interested in organic agriculture and further enhance knowledge transfer. Practicing readers, however, might receive ideas and inspiration for modification and improvement of their techniques. Lastly, this book might help to intensify the dialogue concerning the opportunities offered by organic agriculture taking place with officials in politics and administration.
