"Organic farming has experienced steady growth recently and has gradually emerged as a viable substitute for high-cost, high-polluting mechanized farming across the world, including in India. This book provides a vivid presentation of the economics of organic farming, which makes it, arguably, the first of its kind in India. The book closely analyses the reasons behind the exceptional performance of some Indian states compared to others and of some countries compared to others in Asia. It describes the state-wise growth of the organic market in India as a result of the proactive policies and actions of the more exceptionally performing states. Organic Farming: Economics, Policy and Practices also presents exhaustively the international rules and regulations based on four principles-health, ecology, fairness and care-which form the basis for the formulation of rules and regulations by all countries. These, in turn, further enable the expansion and development of organic farming along scientific and democratic lines. The book will therefore prove indispensable in understanding the dynamics of this rapidly growing field of activity"--

This book has emerged as a consequence of the difficulties we experienced in finding information when we first started researching. The goal was to produce a book where as many existing studies as possible could be presented in a single volume, making it easy for the reader to compare methods, results and conclusions. As a result, studies from countries such as Thailand, Spain, Sweden, Lithuania, Czech, Mexico, etc. have been brought together as individual chapters, and references to studies from other countries have been included in the overview chapters where possible. We believe that this opportunity to compare results from different countries will open a new perspective on the subject, allowing the typical characteristics of Organic Agriculture and Organic Food to be seen more clearly. Finally, we would like to thank the contributing authors and the staff at InTech for their efforts and cooperation during the course of publication. I sincerely hope that this book will help researchers and students all over the world to reach new results in the field of Organic Agriculture and Organic Food.

Should you buy organic food? Is it just a status symbol, or is it really better for us? Is it really better for the environment? What about organic produce grown thousands of miles from our kitchens, or on massive corporately owned farms? Is "local" or "small-scale" better, even if it's not organic? A lot of consumers who would like to do the right thing for their health and the environment are asking such questions.Sapna Thottathil calls on us to rethink the politics of organic food by focusing on what it means for the people who grow and sell it-what it means for their health, the health of
