The author believes it could be suitable under topic one or topic five, and the presentation could be tailored either to provide a beyond Europe perspective (as the exception) to an otherwise European session or (under topic five) as part of the future trends discussion. The objective of the paper is partly to brief the Danish resource base on the development policy perspectives of OA, and (indirectly) to brief international development policy makers about the development values of organic farming in a foreign policy context. Farmers growing food with high eco-efficiency may be seen cultivating peace by reducing competition among nations for oil and as producers of other public goods: biodiverse landscapes and ecosystem services with more soil fertility, less water use and less pollution. How does Organic agriculture (OA) fare globally on eco-efficiency? Are most African farmers eco-efficient – or may eco-efficient farmers be found everywhere? As OA develops throughout the planet, what does Denmark do beyond Europe? Is organic farming part of our development policy? Do we dilligently share our comparative advantages in this field with developing nations? This article pursues these basic questions. 2006 published public 5763 1 7578 1 other en public
