http://orgprints.org/12132/ Ethical concerns associated with organic food in Europe Padel, Susanne Nicholas, Phillipa Jasinska, Aleksandra Lampkin, Nicolas Markets and trade Farming Systems Values, standards and certification Values are at the centre of organic farming. The paper examines ethical concerns that are important to consumers, producers and other stakeholders in relation to organic farming practice and how this relates to current standards and the four IFOAM principles of health, ecology, fairness and care. Most concerns can be categorised under four headings but important issues are cross cutting. Currently, standards cover, both directly and indirectly, only a part of ethical values associated with organic food and agriculture but many producers aim to deliver on a broader range. 2008 Conference paper, poster, etc. NonPeerReviewed application/pdf http://orgprints.org/12132/1/12132.pdf Padel, Susanne; Nicholas, Phillipa; Jasinska, Aleksandra and Lampkin, Nicolas (2008) Ethical concerns associated with organic food in Europe. 16th IFOAM Organic World Congress, Modena, Italy, June 16-20, 2008.
