Zum Wesenhaften der Natur: Versuch einer Annäherung
Daub, Holger
History of organics
Das Anliegen der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, einen Einblick in die historischen und gegenwärtigen Aspekte des Themas zu bieten und landwirtschaftsrelevante Bezüge von Naturwesen darzustellen. Im Literaturteil wurden dafür schriftliche Quellen gesichtet, um einen Zeitraum von etwa 2000 Jahre zu überblicken. Aus den vorliegenden Ausführungen läßt sich erkennen, daß die Vorstellungen von Naturwesen sowohl auf einer philosophischen Ebene (wie Marsilio Ficino, Paracelsus und Rudolf Steiner) bearbeitet und systematisiert wurden, in den Vorstellungen, den Märchen und Legenden der "einfachen Leute" auftauchen, aber auch einzelne Künstler, zum Beispiel in der Romantik, sich diesen "Wesen" annahmen und sie in eine künstlerische Form verwebten.
Aus den Interviews geht deutlich hervor, daß bei den von mir befragten Personen vielfältige Herangehensweisen an das Thema gibt, die mit dem individuellen Standpunkten des Betrachters zusammenhängen.
Außerdem sei an dieser Stelle noch einmal auf Paracelsus, Rudolf Steiner und Marco Pogacnik verwiesen, deren Begriffe und Vorstellungen von den Gesprächspartnern aufgegriffen wurden, um eigene Erfahrungen mit Elementarwesen und den persönlichen Zugang zu diesem Bereich für sich begrifflich faßbarer zu machen. Dies geht aus vielen Interviews deutlich hervorgeht.
Das Miteinbeziehen von Elementarwesen in den jeweiligen Betrachtungs- und Erfahrungshorizont bewirkt eine Veränderung, sowohl auf der Ebene des Persönlichen, als auch auf der des Umgangs mit der Natur. Ob diese Veränderungen und Wirkungen, die zum Teil in der Natur dadurch abgelesen werden, alle naturwissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen standhalten können, bleibt dahingestellt. Deutlich ist auf alle Fälle, daß die betreffenden Menschen ein gesteigertes Erlebnis einer Ganzheitlichkeit, Verbundenheit und eines im Einklang-Sein im Umgang mit der Natur spüren. Es ist deshalb zu vermuten, daß sie aus diesem Grund ein ausgeprägteres Maß an Erfülltheit und Zufriedenheit demgegenüber empfinden, was sie tun. Daraus wird ersichtlich, daß das Miteinbeziehen von Elementarwesen in das Leben und die Arbeit durchaus eine psychologische Komponente hat (das Wohlbefinden und die Lebensqualität betreffend), auf die F.B. und O.S. zu sprechen kommen. In der Arbeit ist dieser Gesichtspunkt aber ansonsten nicht weiter vertieft worden. Die konkreten Auswirkungen auf das Leben und die Tätigkeit der Interviewpartner ist im Auswertungsteil der Interviews herausgearbeitet worden.
Die Natur wird als Wohnstätte von Wesen erlebt, die in ein partnerschafliches Verhältnis in den Umgang mit einbezogen werden. Daraus resultiert ein erweiterter Ökologiebegriff , dem eine weniger selbstbezogene menschliche Haltung zu Grunde liegt. Es geht nicht mehr nur um einen Funktionserhalt der Natur zum Nutzen des Menschen. Die Natur wird nicht nur als lebendig, sondern mit Empfindung und Bewußtsein ausgestattet erlebt. Partnerschaftlichkeit im Umgang mit der Natur bekommt dadurch eine neue Dimension, weil sie sich nicht an eine abstrakte Vorstellung anlehnt, sondern im Partner ein reales, wesenhaftes Gegenüber hat. Baut nicht gerade darauf eine wirkliche, konkret erlebbare Partnerschaft auf?
Dafür spielt der Austausch von Erfahrungen und die Weiterentwicklung von Fähigkeiten eine besondere Rolle. Ich wünsche mir, daß gerade die Menschen in der Landwirtschaft, die nach diesen Ansätzen suchen, ein solches Forum bilden und möchte mit meiner Diplomarbeit dazu einen Beitrag leisten.

Ökologischer Landbau im Dritten Reich.
Vogt, Dr. Gunter
History of organics
Das Interesse an der Biologisch-Dynamischen Wirtschaftsweise beschränkte sich auf einzelne Personen des nationalsozialistischen Regimes: RUDOLF HESS, R. WALTHER DARRÉ, HEINRICH HIMMLER und ALWIN SEIFERT. Sie verfolgten mit ihrem Engagement unterschiedliche Ziele: gesunde Ernährung, bäuerliche Lebensweise, nachhaltige Landbauweise, Beitrag zur nationalen Autarkie, Naturschutz. Das Interesse galt nur eingeschränkt der Biologisch-Dynamischen Wirtschaftsweise selbst; es wurde vielmehr eine wissenschaftlich fundierte ‘lebensgesetzliche Landbauweise’ angestrebt, die nicht mit anthroposophischem Gedankengut verknüpft ist. Das Engagement für die Biologisch-Dynamische Wirtschaftsweise rief innerhalb der nationalsozialistischen Führung Widerspruch hervor: aus Angst vor Ernterückgängen während des Krieges und aus weltanschaulichen Bedenken wegen des anthroposophischen Hintergrundes.
Die Unterstützung der Biologisch-Dynamischen Wirtschaftsweise durch einzelne Personen der nationalsozialistischen Führung verhinderte bis 1941 ein Verbot ihrer Organisationen. Der Reichsverband für biologisch-dynamische Wirtschaftsweise ‘erkaufte’ sich die Möglichkeit, unter dem nationalsozialistischen Regime offiziell seine Arbeit fortführen zu können, durch Zugeständnisse: (a) eine Zurücknahme anthroposophischer Inhalte und Ansprüche, d. h. die Biologisch-Dynamische Wirtschaftsweise wurde auf eine Palette von Landbaumaßnahmen reduziert, (b) eine teilweise Übernahme nationalsozialistischer Gedankengänge und Schlagwörter sowie (c) eine punktuelle Zusammenarbeit mit dem nationalsozialistischen Regime. Die Bemühungen, eine Ausbreitung der Biologisch-Dynamischen Wirtschaftsweise mit Hilfe nationalsozialistischer Kreise zu erreichen, beruhten auf einer Fehleinschätzung; die biologisch-dynamische Arbeit wurde lediglich toleriert, um - bei erfolgreicher Etablierung einer ökologischen Landbaupraxis - (Teil-)Ergebnisse übernehmen zu können.
Einige Autorinnen und Autoren (Bramwell 1985; Wolschke-Bulmahn 1993; Jacobeit 1998) vermuten, deuten an bzw. behaupten, daß zwischen Biologisch-Dynamischer Wirtschaftsweise bzw. ökologischem Landbau und der ‘Blut-und-Boden’ - Ideologie bzw. dem Nationalsozialismus weltanschauliche Gemeinsamkeiten bestünden. Bei den ‘ideologischen Übereinstimmungen’ handelt es jedoch sich nicht um gemeinsame Kernpunkte der Weltanschauungen, sondern um ähnliche Zielsetzungen: eine autarke, nachhaltige Landbauweise. Die ‘Zusammenarbeit’ zwischen beiden Gruppen beruhte in erster Linie auf einer unausgesprochenen Abmachung: Die Biologisch-Dynamische Wirtschaftsweise konnte - trotz ihres anthroposophischen Hintergrundes - ihre Arbeit fortführen; im Gegenzug hätten sich nationalsozialistische Kreise - bei sich einstellenden Erfolgen - diejenigen Ergebnisse, die sie als brauchbar erachtet hätten, angeeignet.

Stimulating the potential for innovation in organic farming by research
Niggli, Urs
Willer, Helga
History of organics
Research communication and quality
Organic farming research has been developed over 4 stages:
i) Pioneer farmers and scientists,
ii) pioneer private research institutes,
iii) organic farming chairs at universities and finally
iv) organic farming projects and institutes at state research institutions.
Today, organic agriculture has become finally accepted within agriculture and food research. The main key players in organic research in Europe are mentioned in the text.
Mainly in Europe, public funded research has shifted towards organic farming, whereas the research resources for conventional farming have been cut down considerably.
The paper gives an overview of the current status and the future prospects of organic farming research in Europe.

History of organics
Den 19. september 2002 afholdtes den første workshop, hvor der blev sat fokus på to felter. Det første felt omhandler milepæle i den historiske udvikling af sektoren (udvikling af praksis) og det andet felt de principper, der karakteriserede/ karakteriserer den økologiske sektor og afgrænser den fra den konventionelle. Herværende rapport har til formål i hovedtræk at skitsere de overvejelser og synspunkter, der blev diskuteret ved denne workshop. Kapitlerne 5, 6 og 7 indeholder en skriftlig fremstilling af mundtlige oplæg, der – sammen med forskergruppens skriftlige oplæg (kapitel 4) – udgjorde grundlaget for arbejdet ved workshoppen. Kapitel 8 indeholder hovedtræk af arbejdet i plenum og gruppearbejde. Kapitel 9 indeholder opsummering af resultaterne af en spørgeskemaundersøgelse, der blev gennemført under workshoppen.

Pionierinnen des Ökologischen Landbaus. Herausforderungen für Geschichte und Wissenschaft
Inhetveen, Heide
Schmitt, Mathilde
Spieker, Ira
Social aspects
History of organics
Fazit:
Wie diese ersten Ergebnisse unserer Untersuchung zeigen, lassen sich mit geschlechtsspezifischen Analysen der Geschichte und Entwicklung des Ökologischen Landbaus neue Seiten hinzufügen. Indem die Produktion des agrarwissenschaftlichen Wissens im Spiegel der Geschlechterverhältnisse als Teil der Sozialgeschichte identifiziert wird, kann das in letzter Zeit verstärkt eingeforderte Projekt einer De/Rekonstruktion der Agrarwissenschaften vorangetrieben werden. Ebenso erhält der seit Jahren für alle gesellschaftlichen Bereiche eingeforderte Prozess des „Gender Mainstreamings“ in den Institutionen des Ökologischen Landbaus neue Impulse. Dies wird nicht nur den Diskurs der Ruralen Frauen- und Geschlechterforschung erweitern, sondern auch zu einer noch ausstehenden Konzipierung einer Soziologie des Ökologischen Landbaus beitragen.

History of organics
Der ökologische Landbau schob sich in den letzten 20 Jahren weit nach vorn im öffentlichen Bewusstsein. Verunsichert von Lebensmittelskandalen und Tierseuchen, interessieren sich Konsumenten heute mehr für ökologisch erzeugte Nahrungsmittel als in den 80er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts. Parallel dazu verdreifachte sich die ökologisch bewirtschaftete Fläche innerhalb der EU zwischen 1993 und 1999. Trotz dieses Wachstums werden nur drei Prozent der landwirtschaftlichen Flächen in Europa ökologisch bewirtschaftet. In diesem Beitrag wird auf folgende Aspekte eingegangen: „Wo sitzen die Öko-Bauern in Europa?“ , Markt für ökologische Lebensmittel, EU-Agrarpolitik und der ökologische Landbau, und „Was ist der Stand der Dinge im Öko-Landbau in anderen europäischen Ländern?“

Der biologische Landbau in Österreich – Entwicklungen und Perspektiven
Freyer, Bernhard

Kirner, Leopold
Lindenthal, Thomas
Zollitsch, Werner
Policy environments and social economy
History of organics
In den Jahren 1994 bis 1998 hatte der biologische Landbau in Österreich bisher seine stärkste Entwicklung. Die frühe Verankerung von Richtlinien für biologische Produkte pflanzlicher und tierischer Herkunft im österreichischen Lebensmittelbuch, die staatliche Förderung der Umstellung bzw. der Biobetriebe, günstige Bedingungen im Absatz durch den Einstieg der Supermarktketten, die Gründung einer Vermarktungsgesellschaft, eine aktive Verbandspolitik und der Ausbau der Beratung haben dazu beigetragen, dass Österreich in Europa den höchsten Anteil an Biobetrieben erreichte. Ende der neunziger Jahre hat sich diese dynamische Entwicklung nicht fortgesetzt. Ob die Krisen in der konventionellen Landwirtschaft einen neuerlichen Aufschwung durch eine anhaltend stärkere Nachfrage nach Bioprodukten bringen werden, lässt sich noch nicht abschätzen. Auch wenn betriebswirtschaftliche Untersuchungen für bestimmte Betriebe bzw. Regionen die ökonomische Vorzüglichkeit des biologischen Landbaus unter Beweis stellen, gibt es unter den derzeitigen Rahmenbedingungen eine Reihe von Vorbehalten und Hemmnissen, welche einer starken Ausweitung entgegenstehen. Vor dem Hintergrund einer starken Exportquote und der EU-Erweiterung wird erheblicher Handlungsbedarf geortet, um auch weiterhin zu den Ländern mit den höchsten Anteilen an Biobetrieben zu zählen.

Noten er et sammendrag af resultater fra delprojektet "Localisation of organic farms" under Nature Quality in organic farming. Det vises at mens hovedparten af de danske økologiske bedrifter er specialiserede, er der i Jylland antalsmæssigt ikke tale om en voldsom specialisering, mens Fyn og Sjælland er stærkt domineret af planteavlere. Koncentration og spredningsmønstre vises for 1994 og 2001, og der konstateres en tendens til lokal spredning.

Entwicklung des Ökologischen Landbaus in Deutschland von 1997 bis 2003
Eichert, Christian
Policy environments and social economy
History of organics
Looking at the degree of development of the German organic farming sector, one can assess an explicit headway from the year 1997 until 2003. As a “trigger event” and crucial for the advancement of the sector one can put on record the readjustment within the Ministry of Consumer Protection, Food and Agriculture in 2001, caused by the BSE crisis. A Consequence was the creation of an organic farming scheme (BÖL) and the state-aided promotion of “Biosiegel”, a new formed organic label. The politically encour-aged trend initiates a go-ahead spirit and a broad establishment of organic farming inside the German farming community.

In diesem Beitrag wird die Geschichte der Zeitschrift Ökologie & Landbau dargestellt.
Die Internationale Vereinigung Ökologischer Landbaubewegungen (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements, IFOAM) hatte seit etwa 1972 ein eigenes Sprachrohr, zunächst betitelt Circular Letter (Nr. 1 bis 11), später IFOAM-Newsletter (Nr. 12 bis 19). Dieser Newsletter erschien in englischer und französischer Sprache und einfacher Form, getippt und vervielfältigt. Die ersten Ausgaben wurden von Nature & Progrès veröffentlicht und ab dem Jahr 1974 von Anton Pinschof redaktionell betreut. Ende 1976 wur de Dagi Kieffer, Gründerin und heute Stiftungsratsvorsitzende der Stiftung Ökologie & Landbau (SÖL), gebe ten, dieses Mitteilungsblatt in deutscher Sprache herauszugeben. Die englische und die französische Version wurden ab diesem Zeitpunkt weiter -
hin vom IFOAM-Sekretariat verlegt, ab 1977 übernahm das Forschungsinstitut für biologischen Landbau (FiBL) dafür die Verantwortung. Im Jahr 1977 betreute die SÖL also gemeinsam mit dem FiBL die Herausgabe des IFOAM-Newsletters in deutscher Sprache unter dem neuen Namen ifoam-Bulletin.

Modelling P Dynamics in soil - Decomposition and Sorption: Concepts and User Manual
Gjettermann, Birgitte
History of organics
Weather-driven simulation modelling has become an important component of studies of soil nu-trients, both for crop growth and for losses by leaching to the environment. In order to model phosphorus (P) dynamics in soil, the mobilisation and immobilisation processes of inorganic and organic P species is important for quantifying P leaching from the unsaturated zone. The mobilization and immobilisation processes of P are represented in this project by sorption and desorption of P and by decomposition of organic matter with mineralization and immobilisation of P.
The code/model presented here, referred to as the P-Model, works with another model, called Daisy. The Daisy code delivers input data of water content, water flux, temperature, inorganic nitrogen (N), crop uptake of N, and crop root exudates, to the P-Model. The P-Model must be considered as a prototype of a P module in Daisy, as the user-friendliness is limited and not all aspects are described in details. For instance crops are described as very simple sink terms, in spite of the fact that they are very important in the P dynamic of soils. Soil ploughing and harrowing are not included in the P-Model and therefore some limitations of the Daisy set up must be considered.
The concept of the turnover of soil organic matter is based on the organic matter module in Daisy. The simulation of the organic matter balance and the nitrogen dynamics is strongly inter-connected in Daisy as the organic matter model is considered an integral part of the overall ni-trogen balance model. It is assumed that the activity of soil microbial biomass is related to the substrate availability; and that it is reasonable to relate the N mineralization and immobilization with decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM). Daisy does not include P in the organic matter module. However, like N it seems reasonable to relate P mineralization and immobilization to the decomposition of SOM.
In the P-Model organic matter is defined with respect to C, N, and P and is represented by different pools in the model, representing easily degradable and recalcitrant pools, microbial pools, and a dissolved pool. The dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool is produced by microbial degradation of organic matter and by physical/chemical desorption from the most bio available pool of soil organic matter. Hence, DOM may also be immobilized by sorption to the soil organic matter pool. The P-model also includes addition of organic and inorganic fertilizers, crops, and solute transport by convection.
One of the main issues during parameterisation of the DOM dynamics has been to identify and particularly to quantify the sources of DOM in soil. It is assumed that DOM is produced by the soil microbial biomass (SMB) pool and the SOM pool. DOM production is not directly linked to the input of organic material as fresh litter, dead roots, and organic fertilizer, because the contri-bution of DOM from all these different sources probably is very different and not known at this stage. However, theses sources is very bioavailable to the microbial biomass promoting fast turnover and growing microbial biomass, which contribute to the production of DOM. Hence, the DOM dynamic is closely linked to the dynamic of the AOM pools. The biological decomposition of DOM and associated P in the P-Model has been parameterised from literature (e.g. C/P ratios, decay rates and diffusion coefficients of DOM).
The P-Model considers sorption and desorption of DOM in soil, by assuming that dissolved organic P (DOP) and dissolved organic N (DON) follows dissolved organic C (DOC) sorp-tion/desorption in soil. When DOM is sorbed it is assumed to be associated to a part of the SOM pool. Sorption/desorption of DOC takes advantages of estimated relationships linking soil properties to sorption properties across a range of soil types. The Initial Mass approach is used to estimate a DOC concentration specific for the soil, where no net sorption/desorption of DOM occurs. The sorption/desorption dynamics of DOM and associated P in the P-Model have been parameterised from sorption data and field experiments. An empirical, kinetic term couples the ‘equilibrium’ concentration to the actual DOM concentration in the soil, incorporating considera-tions as diffusion and sorption time into the description of the sorption/desorption process. De-pending on whether the DOM concentration is above or below the ‘equilibrium’ concentration then the DOC concentration in the soil is reduced or increased, respectively. Reducing the sorp-tion/desorption rate coefficients the exchange between part of the SOM pool and the DOM pool is reduced. The best fit of simulations to measured DOC and DOP concentrations in batch ex-periments was found by using desorption and sorption rate coefficients of 0.001 hour-1.
Additionally, the P-Model considers sorption of inorganic P, which is described by a three-step mechanism: 1) A fast sorption mechanism, and, 2) a relative slow absorption mechanism, plus 3) a very slow fixation process. Thus, its is hypothesised that inorganic phosphate first binds to easily available sorption sites with high affinity, and then the less available sites which is limited by diffusion and further migration into the soil particle to sorption sites less available. Langmuir describes all three processes at ‘equilibrium’. As for DOM, kinetic terms couples the ‘equilibrium’ concentrations of the different inorganic P pools to the actual P concentration in the soil, incorporating considerations as diffusion and sorption time into the description of the sorption/desorption processes. The sorption of inorganic P has been parameterised from sorption data and literature (e.g. sorption affinity constant and sorption capacities). Due to the concept of instantaneous process of adsorption, which implies an adsorption rate coefficient of 1 h-1 in this model, the other rates have been fitted based on this assumption. The process of absorption has been fitted to obtain equilibrium within 3-4 days. The fixation process has been adjusted not obtain equilibrium during 14 days. The slow desorption rate has not been included during these test. So, whether the slow process is considered reversible or irreversible is still up to discussion in the concept. The distribution of the sorption capacities between the three P pools was shown to have limited effect of the sorption dynamic The distribution of the total sorption capacity between the three sorbed phases has been parameterised based on the assumption that the quickly sorbed fraction has 1/3 of total sorption capacity. By fitting the P-Model to data of sorption experiments on two different soils, it was found that 1/4 of the total sorption capacity is allocated to the absorbed phase for both top and subsoils. The rest of the sorption capacity is allocated to the slow, fixed pool. The sorption affinities are very dominating for the sorption dynamic. The sorption affinities were initially assumed to be in the range of 10-120 mM-1 as of-ten found by fitting Langmuir constants during sorption experiments. However, the best fit to measured sorption data to two subsoils were made by using rather high values for the sorption affinity constants (400-200 mM-1) for the adsorbed, absorbed and fixed processes. The P sorp-tion of the two topsoils behaves very different which could be due to a pH effect. It was not possible to parameterise the affinity constants for the three sorption processes similar for the two top soils, maybe because effects of initial soil pH are not taking into account in the parameteri-sation.
Only part of the P-Model has been validated on field data. The calculation of DOC and DON mobilisation / immobilisation is validated at three fields with different soil treatments located at the Burrehøjvej field at Research Center Foulum in the central part of Jutland. The simulations are compared with measured DOC, DON, NO3 and NH4 concentrations sampled from suctions cups installed in the three fields. The simulations show that in the topsoil the DOM is mainly produced by biological SOM turnover during summertime and chemical/physical release from SOM at all time. The yearly fluctuation of DOM concentration is related to the microbial activity. High fluctuations of DOM which are related to microbial activity are diminished by the chemical/physical sorption/desorption processes which attempts to keep the DOC concentration steady at a certain level. For the soil treated with 9 year of grass clover, the higher DOCand DON fluctuations in the topsoil are slightly diminished in the simulations in relation to the measured DOC and DON concentration. For the two other soil treatments the DOC and DON concentration show less fluctuations and are simulated better.

In this working paper it is the intention to outline the evolution of organic agriculture in Denmark. The paper do not claim to be a total presentation of the history but is aiming to present important milestones, actors involved, intentions and reflections of the actors, and especially to illustrate interaction between the sector labelled as “organic agriculture” and the social surroundings. Based on the findings of the OASE-project a cut off of epoches is used to structure the presentation: Grassroot pioneering, rallying by means of separation (the more excluded an focus narrowed to farming), inclusion (organic agriculture certified by government etc.), absorption (organic farming as an integrated part of established agri systems) while the present epoche is suggested as Funky Business.

Deconstructing the organic movement
Frost, David
"Organics" in general
History of organics
This report was presented at the UK Organic Research 2002 Conference. Organic agriculture has sought to establish its scientific validity and its origins. Conford (2001) claims that these can be traced to the 1920s, and that Anglican Christianity is pivotal to its history. However, organic agriculture takes many forms and the role of religion in society has changed. In the UK, a new incarnation of organic farming occurred in the late twentieth century as part of a wider response to environmental issues.

Assessment of impacts and risks
The focus of OASE has been to conceptualise the evolution of organic agriculture and its relation to the social surroundings. In the efforts to trace and analyse relations between principles related to the organic way, the project has focused on Denmark but has also t ried to integrate international dimensions. The current paper is thus the result of an investigation carried out about evolution and interpretation of organic principles in IFOAM and parts of its constituency. The first section of the paper provides an overview of the IFOAM organisational history while the second section presents perceptions of IFOAM members on Basic Organic Principles.

Food systems
Farming Systems
Increasing globalization affects agricultural production and trade and has consequences for the sustainability of both conventional and organic agriculture.
During the last decades, agricultural production and yields have been increasing along with global fertilizer and pesticide consumption. This development has been especially pronounced in the industrialized countries and some developing countries such as China, where cereal yields have increased a remarkable twofold and 4.5-fold respectively since 1961. In those countries, food security has increased, a greater variety of food has been offered and diets have changed towards a greater share of meat and dairy products. However, this development has led to a growing disparity among agricultural systems and populations, where especially developing countries in Africa have seen very few improvements in food security and production. The vast majority of rural households in developing countries lack the ecological resources or financial means to shift into intensive modern agricultural practices as well as being integrated into the global markets. At the same time, agricultural development has contributed to environmental problems such as global warming, reductions in biodiversity and soil degradation. Furthermore, pollution of surface and groundwater with nitrates and pesticides remains a problem of most industrialized countries and will presumably become a growing problem of developing countries. Nitrate pollution is now serious in parts of China and India. The growing global trade with agricultural products and the access to pesticides and fertilizers have changed agricultural systems. Easier transportation and communication has enabled farms to buy their inputs and sell their products further away and in larger quantities and given rise to regions with specialized livestock production and virtual monocultures of e.g. Roundup Ready soybeans in Argentina. Since 1996, the Argentinean area devoted to soybeans has increased remarkably from 6 to 14 million ha, covering approximately 50% of the land devoted to major crops in 2003. Since 1997, Brazilian Amazon has seen a deforestation of more than 17,000 km2 each year with medium or large-scale cattle rangers presumably being the key driving force.
Organic farming offers a potentially more sustainable production but has likewise been affected by globalization. Organic farming is practiced in approximately 100 countries of the world and the area is increasing. European countries have the highest percentage of land under organic management, but vast areas under organic management exist in e.g. Australia and Argentina. Europe and North America represents the major markets for certified organic products, accounting for roughly 97% of global revenues. The international trade with organic products has two major strands: i) trade between European and other Western countries (USA, Australia, New Zealand); and ii) South–North trade, involving production sites, most importantly in Latin America, which ship to major Northern organic markets. The recent development holds the risk of pushing organic farming towards the conventional farming model, with specialization and enlargement of farms, increasing capital intensification and marketing becoming export-oriented rather than local. Furthermore, as the organic products are being processed and packaged to a higher degree and transported long-distance, the environmental effects need to be addressed. Organic farming might offer good prospects for marginalized smallholders to improve their production without relying on external capital and inputs, either in the form of uncertified production for local consumption or certified export to Northern markets. However, in order to create a sustainable trade with organic products focus should be given to issues like trade and economics (Chapters 4 and 5), certification obstacles, and ecological justice and fair trade (Chapters 2 and 3). Furthermore, the implications of certified and non-certified organic farming in developing countries need to be addressed (Chapters 6 and 9) including issues on soil fertility (Chapter 8) and nutrient cycles (Chapter 7) and the contribution to food security (Chapter 10).

Entwicklung eines schnellen Bio-Tests zur Untersuchung des Wirkungs-potentials von mikrobiellen Pflanzenstärkungsmitteln

"Organics" in general
History of organics
Plant-growth-promoting soil microorganisms are increasingly distributed on the world market. Nutrient mobilization, stimulation of root growth, enhanced resistance to envi-ronmental stress factors are discussed as possible mechanisms. These assumptions are based only on scarce scientific evidence due to limited reproducibility of pot and field experiments, limited information concerning the conditions for successful applica-tion, limited standardization of inoculum preparation and quality. Thus, the develop-ment of rapid screening tests is to demonstrate the principle effectiveness of biofertil-izers prior to set-up of labourous pot or field experiments is urgently required.
In this study, a rapid bio-test with cucumber (Cucumis sativa L.) as an indicator plant was developed to evaluate the effectiveness of five commercial biofertilizers based on Trichoderma spp. and Bacillus spp. (Biohealth-G, Biohealth-WSG, Biomex, Vitalin T50 and SP11) using germination rate, root and shoot biomass, maximum root length, and leaf area as test parameters. The experiment was repeated twice with 6 replicates in hydroponic culture under controlled conditions (pH 5.5, 22° C; Light: 230 mmol cm2 sec-1). Biofertilizers were applied at the rate of 3 g per 2.5 l mineral nutrient solution. Germination rate was increased by 20 - 25% in all biofertilizer treatments compared to the control. After 2 weeks culture period, root dry weight and leaf area of Biohealth-G, Vitalin T50, SP-11 and Biomex-treated cucumber seedlings were significantly in-creased. Biohealth-G and Vitalin T50 showed significantly higher main root length and Biohealth-G higher shoot dry weight than the remaining treatments, while Biohealth-WSG did not cause differences compared to untreated control plants. The pathogen-antagonistic potential of Trichoderma strains can be easily tested by co-inoculation with the pathogenic fungus Gaeumannomyces graminis on malt extract peptone agar plates. The results suggest that the activity potential of different Trichoderma-based biofertilizers could be easily screened by using the described bio-test with cucumber seedlings.

History of organics
A Madagascar, l’exportation de produits dits « biologiques » a commencé en 1990 et s’est développée au fil des années. Cependant, le secteur de l’agriculture biologique a été frappé par la crise nationale de 2002 et tente encore de se redresser.
L’Etat n’a pas encore élaboré une politique nationale en matière d’agriculture biologique. Le secteur privé continue ses initiatives avec l’appui des organismes privés étrangers. Aucun réseau n’existe à part le groupement PRONABIO qui rassemble les sociétés opérant dans le domaine. La plupart de ces sociétés établissent un contrat avec les petits paysans producteurs, collectent leurs produits et les exportent.

The Farm as Organism: The Foundational Idea of Organic Agriculture
Paull, John
"Organics" in general
History of organics
The term 'organic farming' was coined by Lord Northbourne in his canonical work "Look to the Land", published in London (1940). Northbourne introduced the concept of the farm as organism, contrasted organic with chemical farming, and introduced many of the concepts that continue to preoccupy discussions and practice of organic agriculture.

The concept of Permanent Agriculture predates Organic Agriculture by thirty years. Following a clash with the USDA over the theory of soil fertility, American soil scientist Franklin King wrote "Farmers of Forty Centuries or Permanent Agriculture in China, Korea and Japan" (1911). Permanent Agriculture and Organic Agriculture share many ideas. The founder of Organic Agriculture described Franklin's work as a "classic" which "no student of farming or social science can afford to ignore".

History of organics
From a development research perspective this paper presents a framework for exploring the Chinese case of certified organic agriculture (COA). Departing from an analysis of the globalisation of certified organic agriculture, we first present our theoretical approach and then review the small, but recent existing social science literature on ecological-green-organic agriculture in China. One line of inquiry is exploring how far developments in COA are driven by export aspirations, market actors and their agencies and how far the same developments already involve civil society and domestically oriented government agencies. We proceed to briefly outline the development of the formal institutional landscape of Chinese organic farming. Finally, we present a preliminary analytical framework for further exploring how far COA is institutionally embedded in China and present our agenda for development research on Chinese COA.

Ethics and animal welfare in organic animal husbandry: an interdisciplinary approach
Lund, Vonne L.
History of organics
Values, standards and certification
Health and welfare
Abstract
Farm animals make importance contributions to organic farming systems. This thesis deals with the value and aims of organic farming in relation to animal welfare concerns. The organic standards and other publications from the organic movement are analyzed to define basic values. These are related to ethical theory, and ecocentric ethics is suggested as an ethical position for organic farming. It is concluded that although the main concern is to develop sustainable and environmentally friendly farming systems, animal welfare is an important aim in organic farming.
Two studies have been made of Swedish organic livestock farmers to examine their values and beliefs about animal husbandry and animal welfare. The first study comprised 15 equalitative in-depth interviews. The second study was a quantitative questionnaire study, where answers were analyzed using principal component analysis (exploratory factor analysis). Both studies showed that the ecocentric position can be identified among Swedish organic livestock farmers in their perception of animal welfare.
An important finding is that the animal welfare concept is understood differently in organic farming from what is usual in conventional agriculture. It is interpreted in terms of natural living, which includes the possibility of performing a natural behavior, feeds adapted to the animal's physiology and a natural environment. Thus, it is important for the organic farmers to be explicit and communicate their view of animal welfare to other groups.
A literature study was performed to learn about the actual animal welfare situation in organic animal husbandry. Only 22 peer-reviewed articles were found. There were no indications in the literature that overall health is worse in organic than in conventional herds. A very careful conclusion was that animal health in organic farming is as good or perhaps better – with the important exception of parasitic diseases.
The thesis also analyzes conflicting values and dilemmas in organic animal husbandry, e.g., between the ecocentric position and aspects of animal welfare. The questionnaire study revealed two groups with partially differing values: farmers who see organic farming as a life style and who believe environmental issues and natural living are important, and entrepreneurial farmers who consider making money and new challenges more important. An ethical contract is proposed as a tool to handle the dilemmas.
It is concluded that it is important for organic farmers and for the organic movement to take animal health and welfare issues seriously.

Primera aproximación a los principios y valores de la agricultura ecológica en España
Gonzálvez, V.
Spain
History of organics
La evolución de la Agriculura ecológica (AE), ha sido distinta incluso dentro de los países industrializados, generándose desde motivaciones y fundamentos distintos en los movimientos que la forjaron. Esto ha ocasionado distintos énfasis en sus objetivos, principios y valores que, luego han marcado el desarrollo de la misma. Este es el caso de España, donde el movimiento social e ideológico que estimuló el nacimiento y práctica de la AE puso mayor énfasis en los aspectos sociopolíticos, en detrimento quizá de los aspectos relacionados con el desarrollo de los mercados, lo que más adelante ha repercutido en su desarrollo, junto a otros factores tales como el escaso interés y apoyo gubernamental al sector o el menor desarrollo del sector industrial, con el consecuente menor impacto ambiental negativo (Alonso et al. 2000) entre otros, ha provocado una expansión tardía de su práctica y, lo que es más relevante, del consumo, que ha configurado a nuestro país con un perfil de país exportador de productos ecológicos. Esta peculiar evolución de la AE, es una seña de identidad de los países mediterráneos (a excepción de Italia), con menor grado de industrialización. En el caso español las raíces que sustentaron al movimiento que más tarde impulso la agricultura ecológica, se puede encontrar en periodos incluso preindustriales, lo que le concede una particular concepción naturista y lo vincula a las corrientes anarquistas, que lo diferencia de otros movimientos europeos y lo vincular a los movimientos sociales rurales reivindicativos.

Values, standards and certification
The objective of this report is to provide an up-to-date overview of the organic and inconversion land area, number of holdings, livestock and crop production in all EU member states plus the Czech Republic, Norway and Switzerland from 1993 to 1998. The report traces the growth and development of organic farming in general and as part of policy measures to support organic farming and updates the data presented in Foster and Lampkin (1999). This report is one of several aiming to assess ex post the impact of EU and other policy measures on organic farming as part of the project ”Effects of the CAP Reform and possible further developments on organic farming in the EU” (FAIR 3-CT96 1794). The general objective of the project is to provide an assessment of the impact of the 1992 CAP Reform on organic farming and thus contribute to a better understanding of the effects that current EU policies have on this sub-sector. 1993 was chosen as the starting point from which to present the data as it represents the year in which most EU member states implemented Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2092/91 defining organic crop production in statutory terms. It was also the first year in which the CAP Reform of 1992 began to have an impact on organic farming, in particular through support under the agri-environment programme (Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2078/92).

Rachel Carson has been described as "an early supporter of organic farming". Publishing in 1962, she awoke a generation past, to the false promises of the “war on weeds”, the “war against the insects” and “better living through chemistry”. Carson wrote to a friend: “there would be no peace for me if I kept silent”. She asked the world to consider: “Can anyone believe it is possible to lay down such a barrage of poisons on the surface of the earth without making it unfit for all life?”. Carson has been described by TIME Magazine as one of “the 100 most influential people of the 20th century” and her book has been described as “the most influential book of the past 50 years”- yet on the occasion of the centenary of her birth, the author found that university students had "no idea" who she was, or what was "Silent Spring".

History of organics
Farming Systems
A book review of the latest biography of Rudolf Steiner, published in 2007, authored by Gary Lachman, and published by Tarcher/Penguin, New York. It was Rudolf Steiner's "Agriculture Course" delivered at Koberwitz (now Kobierzyce, Poland) in 1924, that laid the foundation for the establishment of Bio-Dynamic Agriculture - a organic farming method now practised in 38 countries.

Development of organic farming in Central and Eastern European countries
Hrabalova, Andrea

"Organics" in general
History of organics
The total organic area in the eight examined Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs) increased to 907,900 ha and represented 2.73% of the utilised agricultural area (UAA) in 2005. This corresponds to an annual growth rate of 23.13%. However, the area of fodder crops represented over 65% of this increase. Estonia and the Czech Republic have the highest share (over 7%) in total organic area of UAA. At the same time these countries have seen a steady decrease of in-conversion area, which limits the potential for further growth. In the organic production structure, grassland and the production of fodder have become the main organic crop areas, mainly in Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Estonia and Latvia. In relation to organic livestock, beef production dominated with 67% in total CEECs organic livestock units, followed by dairy and sheep production with 14% and 8%, respectively, in 2005. Overall, sheep are the most popular species in nearly all CEECs when shares in total production are compared. Despite the rapid growth of organic farming (OF) in CEECs in recent years, the current arrangement of organic production can be noticed as one of many factors hindering the development of the organic food market and diversification of supplies.

Organic food has been described as the world’s fastest growing food sector, and many countries have now set targets for conversion to Organic Agriculture. The stated goal of the organic movement is the adoption worldwide of Organic Agriculture. That task has a long path to travel, with Organic Agriculture currently accounting for 1.8% of worldwide agricultural land. One strategy for success in any endeavour, is: find out who "the winners” are, identify what they are doing, and do that; and there is a corollary to this maxim. Which countries are leaders in the adoption of Organic Agriculture? In the absence of a single comprehensive index of organic-ness, this paper identifies 12 indices of organic-ness, and presents the leadership by country, for each of these indices. A portmanteau-index of overall organics leadership is examined. Based on longitudinal data, projections are presented for future Organic Agriculture scenarios, and they indicate that under the historic worldwide rates of organic uptake, then all agricultural land would be converted to organic within 27 years under the scenario of compound increase, and in 584 years under the scenario of arithmetic increase.

Omlægning til økologisk drift set fra dyrlægers og konsulenters synsvinkel
Vaarst, Mette
History of organics
Health and welfare
Gennem det seneste år har dyrlægerne i stigende grad forholdt sig til økologisk jordbrug. Dette er sket i takt med, at driftsformen blev mere og mere udbredt og de fleste dyrlægepraksis blev tilknyttet en eller flere økologiske besætninger. I lederen i Dansk VeterinærTidsskrift den 1. Maj 1998 (81, s. 337; gengivet i appendiks) påpegede man således, at danske dyrlæger jævnligt stødte på problematiske områder i den økologiske husdyrproduktion, og at man i økologiske besætninger ser dyr, der skulle have været behandlet eller aflivet. Man påpegede også, at de økologiske regler kan medføre, at sygdom bliver en kostbar affære i økologiske besætninger, hvorfor man var langsommere til at behandle disse dyr. Det anses blandt andet som værende dyrlægens pligt at tage sig af dyrene og holde dem fri for sygdomme. Afslutningsvis udtalte man således følgende fra Den Danske Dyrlægeforening: "Danske dyrlæger vil gerne i en tættere dialog med økologerne og deres organisationer. Mere rådgivning synes at være en farbar vej til løsning af de nævnte problemer, der heldigvis er af begrænset omfang". Viden om sundhedstilstanden i økologiske besætninger kan opsøges ad flere forskellige veje. Vi kunne have valgt at gå ud i et stort antal besætninger og undersøge dyr og analysere tilgængelige sundhedsrelaterede data. Det kunne være en lærerig, men også tidskrævende opgave. Det svar, vi kunne få ad denne vej, var imidlertid ikke hele svaret på vores spørgsmål: hvad sker der med en besætning under omlægning til økologisk drift?
Dette spørgsmål inddrager både kendsgerninger og oplevelse. Oplevelsen inddrager i høj grad også omverdenen: de mennesker, der færdes i og omkring gården og aftager dens produkter. De ovenfor nævnte udmeldinger fra Den Danske Dyrlægeforening havde bragt lige netop dette perspektiv ind i billedet: at økologerne gennem deres omlægningsproces også påvirker samarbejdspartnere. De må gennem deres jævnlige kontakt til en eller flere økologiske besætninger nødvendigvis have en række erfaringer i nogle besætninger, som de har kendt som både ikke-økologiske og økologiske. Dyrlægerne må sammen med kvægbrugskonsulenterne betragtes som besætningsejerens nærmeste samarbejdspartnere i arbejdet med dyrene. Disse forhold gør det interessant at høre om denne gruppes konkrete erfaringer i økologiske besætninger samt diskutere "produktet" af disse erfaringer og den deraf affødte holdning til omlægning til økologisk drift. Vi valgte efterfølgende at tilvejebringe denne viden gennem en række interviews, som er beskrevet i afsnittet om materialer og metoder. I det følgende vil de temaer, som dyrlægerne og konsulenterne har berørt i interviewene, blive beskrevet. Konkrete oplevelser vedrørende kalvehold, malkekvæghold og medicinanvendelse vil indledningsvis blive beskrevet i ganske få temaer. Derefter vil perspektiver på samarbejde og rådgivning blive fremlagt. Fremlæggelsen vil først belyse forskellige temaer, som omhandler forskellige aspekter af samarbejdet mellem de økologiske landmænd under og efter omlægningsprocessen. Derefter vil disse temaer blive sammenfattet i en egentlige historie om oplevelsen af omlægning af den økologiske besætning. Det særlige ved denne analyse og historie er, at den omhandler omlægning til økologisk drift gennem andres øjne: nogle personer, der står uden for beslutningerne på gården, men i varierende grad, og med forskellige tilgangsvinkler og niveauer af åbenhed og forståelse af den enkelte landmands situation, træder inden for gårdens rammer. Betydningen af denne vinkel på oplevelsen af omlægning vil blive diskuteret efterfølgende, tillige med den generelle diskussion af interviewresultaterne. Diskussionen befinder sig således på flere forskellige planer, idet dyrlægerne og kvægbrugskonsulenterne diskuterer sideløbende med fremlæggelse af deres erfaringer, og efterfølgende diskuteres så disse erfaringer og omdrejningspunkterne for diskussion.
Spørgsmål, som rejses i afsnittet vedrørende det økologiske kalvehold, den økologiske malkekvægbesætning samt vedrørende medicinanvendelse, vil blive berørt særskilt i kapitlerne 5-7.

Vidensynteseprojektet blev indledt med interviews af dyrlæger og konsulenter for at indkredse veterinære problemstillinger, som er forbundet med omlægning til økologisk drift. En omlægning af besætningen er en del af omlægningen af hele bedriften og bør som sådan ikke ses isoleret. Konsulentens fokus er relativt bredt på hele bedriften, dyrlægens er mere snævert på den enkelte ko og gruppen af køer/kvier/kalve. Dette perspektiv bør ikke stå alene i og med, at det er hele bedriften, som lægges om. Beslutninger i besætningen griber ind i hele bedriften, ligesom beslutninger
på bedriftsniveau griber ind i rutiner og rammer i besætningen. Landmanden – driftslederen
– og hans eller hendes beslutninger står som omdrejningspunkt for omlægningen. Driftslederen ser det indefra. En beskrivelse af omlægningen, inklusive landmandens oplevelse af hvad der sker med besætningen, er nødvendig for at kunne diskutere omlægningsprocessen.

Generating Governance Capacity in Infant Industries: The Development of Organic Farming in Denmark and Australia
Halpin, Darren
Daugbjerg, Carsten
"Organics" in general
History of organics
Organic farming is of increasing interest to policy makers as it has been linked to environmental, rural development and market related outcomes which have high political salience. As such, attention naturally turns to catalysing organic growth. Patterns of growth vary considerably among countries, but existing explanations of variation lack authority. This paper compares the development of organic farming sectors in Australia and Denmark, countries at polar ends of the organic sector development continuum. They provide a good comparison as both countries share key characteristics, such as a history of state-agricultural industry partnerships, an implicit post-1980’s consensus around a market model for agricultural industry development, and the general absence of consumer distrust over food quality. After ruling out a number of well worn explanations for differential growth we focus on the role of governance capacity. We argue that the Danish case, in contrast with Australia, demonstrates that when well-developed associative and state capacities can combine alongside interest intermediation then governance capacity is generated and infant industry development is made possible.

Governing growth in organic farming: The evolving capacities of organic groups in the United Kingdom and Denmark
Daugbjerg, Carsten
Halpin, Darren
"Organics" in general
History of organics
The question of the ‘policy capacity’ of interest groups is increasingly gaining prominence as a key variable in governing and transformative capacities. This raises the issue of whether group policy capacities can be developed. While group scholars have long talked of group capacity, this has largely amounted to compiling a ‘shopping list’ of possible capacities general to all groups. There has not been much attention to variations in capacity among groups, or with the development of capacity by a single group over time. This paper takes a tentative step towards filling this gap.
In pursuing this general line of inquiry we argue that (i) initial ‘selection’ of group type shapes scope of capacity development, (ii) groups seek to adapt capacity to changing policy contexts, and (iii) adaptive efforts are shaped by the ‘legacy’ of the originating type – change is bounded unless the group engages in ‘radical’ organisational changes (e.g. redefinition of entire purpose). This general argument is fleshed out by comparing and contrasting the evolution of the key organic interest groups in both the UK and Denmark.

Interest Groups and the Governance of Growth in Organic Farming
Halpin, Darren
Daugbjerg, Carsten
"Organics" in general
History of organics
In this paper we probe the issue of developing capacity by exploring the organisational evolution of the key organic interest groups in Australia, the UK and Denmark. A comparison of the Organic Federation of Australia (OFA), the British Soil Association (SA) and the Danish National Association of Organic Farming, NAOF (later the National Organic Association, NOA) is particularly useful in investigating the nuts and bolts of interest group capacity development and adjustment. They emerged from a similar milieu; yet they developed their capacities very differently. While all three associations have developed capacities for the promotion of the organic sector in relation to consumers, farmers and government, they differ significantly in relation to capacity development as it pertains to policy implementation. The key differences can be explained by variation in the organic farm policies of the three countries. The comparison also demonstrates that existing groups can adapt capacities when policy changes, even where neo-liberal inspired policy strategies are deployed.

Organic farming policies and the growth of the organic sector in Denmark and the UK: a comparative analysis
Daugbjerg, Carsten

"Organics" in general
History of organics
There has been little systematic analysis of the extent to which organic farming policies have influenced growth in the organic sector. Analyses of organic farming policy instruments, for the most part, provide extensive and detailed reviews of instruments applied either in a single country or across countries. Hence, there is a great need to examine systematically whether there is a relationship between the introduction of organic farming policies and the growth of the organic food sector, and whether particular designs of organic farming policies are more effective than others. In this paper, we take the first step in the endeavour of analysing the effects of organic farming by undertaking an econometric analysis of the relationship between organic farming policies in Denmark and the UK and their effects on the number of farmers and growers converting to organic production.

Sharpening Up Research on Organics: Why We Need to Integrate Sectoral Policy Research into Mainstream Policy Analysis
Daugbjerg, Carsten
Halpin, Darren
"Organics" in general
History of organics
As a fast growing state sponsored industry, the organic food sector is likely to attract the increased attention of policy analysts who are interested in industry development. We critically review the European comparative research on growth in the organic sector, focusing on policy analysis. A common element in these accounts is that findings are by no means clear on why variation in organic growth between countries exists. The literature provides a range of possible variables explaining divergent patterns of organic sector development but solid conclusions are elusive. We suggest that future policy orientated research on organic sector apply existing theories on public policy and carefully design studies in accordance with the prescriptions of the comparative research method. This would enable policy researchers to reach more robust conclusions on policy relevant factors influencing growth of the organic sector than are currently found in the literature.

Associative Deadlocks and Transformative Capacity: Engaging in Australian Organic Farm Industry Development
Halpin, Darren
Daugbjerg, Carsten
"Organics" in general
History of organics
Recent work on industry policy argues that group and state capacity are important in underpinning (or undermining) the capacity to govern industrial development. Put simply, group capacity - alongside state capacity - is deemed an important ingredient in any recipe for (re)developing national industry. This article further develops the literature on governance and transformative capacity, adding deliberative networking as a key facet. Examining the development of the organic farming sector in Australia, it is argued that the absence of transformative capacity frustrates development. Specifically, although the state has slowly come to see a need for some interaction and facilitation of organic industry development, particularly of a national domestic standard, this intervention is made difficult by the absence of: (i) capable organic industry organisations; (ii) 'in-house' departmental expertise; and (iii) venues capable of fostering policy deliberation. We argue that the reworked concept of transformative capacity can have wider application in making sense of industry development in other infant industries.

Mellem stat og marked: Danske økologiske landbrugsorganisationers rolle i implementering af økologipolitik
Schvartzman, Yonatan
"Organics" in general
History of organics
Organic farming growth is to a considerable extent fostered by state intervention, in particular in Europe. As an example of successful state involvement in ‘green’ infant industries, it forms a new research field for policy analysts interested in studying the relationship between public policy and industrial development.
Denmark was the first country to form a distinct law on organic farming in 1987. The Danish organic sector has been regulated ever since. The major role of the Danish organic farming policy, in particular conversion subsidies, is to enable market creation which require that there are both suppliers of organic products and consumers of organic products. In that connection the Danish state granted financial support for initiatives related to the development of the organic market, in addition to conversion and production subsidies scheme. In spite of the high growth in the Danish organic market the literature is silent about the connection between the Danish organic policy and organic market growth. This dissertation takes the view that the connection between policy and growth can be made by investigating the process of implementation.
While the Danish state has developed capacities to govern supply through administration of subsidies scheme, it is unlikely that it has maintained capacities for implementation of market development activities. On the other hand the organic groups had been involved in activities related to developing the organic market, and as such might posses such capacities. In light of that, this dissertation forms an explorative study on the role of the Danish organic interest groups in implementation of the organic farming policy in Denmark . The aim of the dissertation is to contribute new knowledge about the role of the organic interest groups in developing the organic sector in Denmark. The second objective of this dissertation is to establish the basis for a future analysis that will examine whether the activities of interest groups can be linked to growth in organic market.
Theoretically the dissertation seeks to contribute to the literature by creating a new analytical model for linking state-interest group relations to industrial and economic development. The Dissertation criticizes the existing literature, which seeks to explain industrial development through state-interest group relations, for focusing mainly on policy formulation processes and processes inside state sphere. On the contrary the dissertation seeks to construct a theoretical model for analyzing industrial development through examining state and interest group activities during the implementation of industrial/economic policy.
This dissertation uses the Dutch Schools policy network approach to connect state and interest group activities to the development of the organic market. The dissertation shows that the implementation of the organic farming policy happens inside policy networks between the state and the organic interest groups. The state is responsible for financing market development activities. On the other hand the organic interest groups have built capacities for carrying out such activities, and are responsible for converting public resource to market development activities.
The dissertations shows that an interest group can play a role in governing a specific market and by that can be a central factor in the development of a specific industrial sector. By using the Dutch Schools notion of network management, the dissertation shows that the organic interest groups used public financed activities to govern the organic market agent and their mutual relations. Furthermore the dissertation shows that the public financed market-managing activities performed by the organic interest groups, have occurred in synergy with other independent market-management activities that the organic interest groups have been performing. By that the dissertation shows that the activities performed by interest organizations outside the state arena pose an important variable, in analyzing the role played by interest organizations in the process of policy implementation.

History of organics
For the understanding of ecological agriculture, knowledge of its roots is essential.
Actual literature about this topic does not cover the history of ecological agriculture in
East Germany especially if chronological development and individual motivation are
seen as mutual dependent. The ecological organisation Gäa e.V. was founded in the
GDR in 1989. Its origins were oppositional environmental groups working within the
East German church. It developed own principles based on individual experience with
unique aspects. It has established and integrated well in the German ecological agriculture
structure after the reunification and the changed political background as an
authentic representative of and for the East German ecological agriculture scene.

History of organics
Knowledge management
The empirical analysis of the historical development of transdisciplinary co-production
of knowledge (CPK) in organic agriculture (OA) in Switzerland has revealed three
distinct phases. The initial phase shows various characteristics of transdisciplinary
CPK and a high importance of experiential knowledge. The 2nd and 3rd phases involve
an in-creasing segregation of farmers’, extension agents’, and scientists’ knowledge,
caused by internal and external impacts, i.e. foundation of independent research
institutions, changes in agriculture policy, and new market strategies. These
developments strikingly represent an ambiguous trend: the growing societal and
political recognition of OA and the increasing market, which are positive
achievements, are associated by a gradual loss of very precious forms of CPK. A
successful re-establishment of CPK processes and re-integration of experiential
knowledge would help to resolve this dilemma and thus improve future research in OA
and sustainability research in general.

Øget økologisk jordbrug kan, hvis omlægningen designes rigtigt, bidrage til udviklingen i landdistrikterne. Dette belyses med en række eksempler.
En kortlægning af økologisk jordbrugs udbredelse i Danmark viser, at de områder, hvor der i dag er meget økologisk jordbrug, i vid udstrækning er sammenfaldende med de områder, hvor der er et særligt behov for udvikling i landdistrikterne. Det er således et vigtigt at belyse, hvorledes den økologiske jordbrugsproduktion bedst tilrettelægges, så den bidrager til landdistriktsudviklingen i disse områder.

China
Agriculture in China is at the onset of an Organic Revolution. From 2000 to 2006, China has moved from 45th to 2nd position in the world in number of hectares under organic management. China now has more land under organic horticulture than any other country. In the year 2005/2006, China added 12% to the world’s organic area. This accounted for 63% of the world’s annual increase in organic land, and China now has 11% of the world’s organically managed land. The antecedents to China’s Organic Revolution are examined, and reveal further growth potential in the Chinese organic sector. Longitudinal analysis of China’s food production statistics reveals explosive growth, and the consequent capacity for export has implications for food exporting nations. China has adopted an innovative path, via Green Food, towards achieving an organic future. This transition strategy may be a model for other countries seeking a rapid expansion of organics. Food exporting countries can expect in future to have their chemi-agricultural produce competing with certified organic produce of China.

Values, standards and certification
Social aspects
Lord Northbourne (1896-1982) coined the term “organic farming” and he expounded the case for it in his 1940 manifesto of organic agriculture: Look to the Land. So a new book by this author is important, is a welcome treat, and warrants the attention of those with an interest in organic food, agriculture and systems.
Of the Land & the Spirit is a collection of essays and chapters that reflect the spectrum of Northbourne’s interests, including religion, art, education, gardening and agriculture. Lord Northbourne was trained at Oxford University in agriculture, and it remained one of his abiding interests.
From a lifetime approaching nine decades, Of the Land & the Spirit presents an account of four decades of Northbourne’s thoughts - beginning with excerpts from Look to the Land, through to the final chapter The Ineluctable Alternative: A Letter to my Descendants. Northbourne’s holistic views flow though his writings whether he is discussing farming, flowers or faith.

It has not been previously reported that the world’s first “organic” farming society was the Australian Organic Farming and Gardening Society (AOFGS) which was founded in Australia in October 1944. The association was based in Sydney, New South Wales, and the first issue of its journal, the Organic Farming Digest (OFD), was dated April 1946. This was Australia’s first, and the world’s second, “organic” farming journal. The eighteen month delay between the founding of the society and the first publication of the journal was because paper was unavailable in Australia for that purpose during WWII. The society published a total of 378 articles in 29 issues from 1946 to 1954. Articles from Australia, UK, USA, New Zealand, South Africa, Germany and Denmark were published. Topics included: farming and gardening; health; environment; politics and economics; and animal welfare. More than 190 authors were published. British authors published included Sir Albert Howard, Lady Louise Howard, Lady Eve Balfour, and Friend Sykes. American authors published included Dr. Ehrenfried Pfeiffer, Jerome Rodale, Gaylord Hauser, and Louis Bromfield. Australian authors from the states of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and Queensland were published. These included Sir Stanton Hicks, then Professor of Physiology and Pharmacology at Adelaide University, NSW grazier Colonel Harold White, and Tasmanian MLC Henry Shoobridge. More than 130 original articles were published, and other articles were reproduced from many sources including: Organic Gardening (USA); Bio-Dynamic (USA); Soil and Health (UK); Health and the Soil (UK); Mother Earth, (UK); Trees and the Earth (UK); Farmers Weekly (South Africa) and Compost Magazine (NZ). The Society was wound up in 1955, due to lack of financial support. The digests published by the AOFGS document a decade of the thoughts, aspirations, focus, theory and practice of Australia’s first practitioners and proponents of organic farming, from the mid-1940s to the mid-1950s.

The Surprising History and Geography of the First "Organic Farming" Association

Readers of narratives of the history of organic farming in Australia will be familiar with such accounts beginning in the "1980s". In questing after the earliest organic farming society, and more particularly in pursuing the spread of the "organic" meme from its 1940 birth in Britain, it was therefore a great surprise to uncover the Australian Organic Faming and Gardening Society (AOFGS) founded in October 1944. This appears to be the world's first "organic farming" association. It also resets the organic clock for Australia back by four decades. Here was an association, pre-dating the UK Soil Association by two years, formed half a world away from the birthplace of "organic", in a country at war, under food rationing, and with its workforce under Manpower regulations. Yet organic farming principles were clearly articulated by this Society, perhaps as clearly articulated as they have ever been, and particularised for Australia. The Society was constrained from publishing their journal due to wartime constraints on paper. The first appearance of the Organic Farming Digest (OFD) was in April 1946. Thereafter, for nearly a decade, the Society regularly published a journal, with the last issue appearing in 1954. This paper explores the Society; its principles; its journals; its people; its interactions with key organic figures of the time including Ehrenfried Pfeiffer, Eve Balfour, Albert Howard, and Jerome Rodale; its Australian contributors from five states, including Colonel Harold White and Professor Sir Stanton Hicks; its progress and ultimately its demise; and touch on how this history became lost.

History of organics

Turkey is located at a point where the three continents are making up the old world. Europe, Asia and Africa are close to each other thus, making it is a pre-eminent centre of commerce for centuries. Turkey’s surface area is 814,578 sq km of which 790,200 sq km are in Asia (Anatolia) and 24.378 sq km are in Europe. Turkey is divided into seven regions (Ege, Marmara, Blacksea, Mediterranean, Central Anatolia, East Anatolia and South East Anatolia Regions). The prevailing climate in Turkey is hot dry summers with mild, wet winters; harsher in interior. Terrain is composed of mostly mountains, narrow coastal plains and high central plateau. Because of its geographical conditions, the mainland of Anatolia has been
found as favourable location for settlement throughout history. Turkey has a suitable position for organic agriculture because of its different ecosystems and rich biodiversity. In addition to this, about 40 % population are engaged in agriculture. Total cultivated agricultural area is estimated to be 22,156,234 hectares. Currently, only 103,190 hectares of total agricultural area is in use for organic farming (~0.5% of agricultural land). The aim of this paper is to show the development of organic farming and to determine the possibilities for the future development of organic animal production in Turkey.

Assessment of impacts and risks
The first half of this chapter theoretically explores, from a development policy perspective, the nature of institutional environments for certified organic agriculture. The aims are to understand the conditions required, and the prospects, for organic agriculture to thrive, to present a view of global initiatives for research on organic production, and the current degree of institutionalization of organic farming and organic research at the global level. Through institutional analysis of social incentive structures, or game rules, the chapter analyses how certified organics in the North has been operationalized into a single policy instrument through which multiple development benefits are pursued, i.e. institutionalized in a way that enables and facilitates a governance regime that promotes the use of intrinsically sustainable technologies and methods. Focusing on the needs and prospects for complementing the European situation, where organic farming policies, practices and institutions are now thoroughly studied, and where the institutional landscape of organic research has attained a critical mass, the authors highlight organic institutions in the South as severely under-researched. The chapter outlines the contours of a framework for investigating the social conditions under which organic agriculture is evolving in the South and to explore the extent to which policy instruments and regulations influencing such development exist. The chapter stresses that current trajectories of organic agriculture in tropical countries are often driven by Northern institutions, and as a result these trajectories may not address Southern realities. The chapter includes a brief review of international organizations promoting organic agriculture as a developmental instrument and identifies the potential for advanced international organic research networks contributing to this process. Given the fragmentation of knowledge on organic farming conditions and methods in the South, the analysis includes specifications of the options for, and roles of, research in supporting the development of organic farming and food systems.

The Path to Otopia: an Australian Perspective

This paper is a response to an invitation from SASA to deliver a keynote address on the topic: "The History of Innovative Organic Knowledge: Past, Present (and Future?)” to the Soil Association of South Australia (SASA) on the occasion of the launching of the SASA Historical Research Archive at the State Library of South Australia, Adelaide. It identifies three waves of organic advocacy in Australia. It describes the author's recently published research on the Australian Organic Farming and Gardening Society (1944-1955), the world's first society to call itself an "organic farming" society, the first society to publish an organic journal (the "Organic Farming Digest"), and the first society to publish a set of organic agriculture principles. Looking to the future, the term "Otopia" is coined to describe a state of 100% organic agriculture. At the historical rate of growth exhibited by the organic sector (data available for the past 8 years), it will take 584 years to reach a global state of Otopia if we assume arithmetic growth (of 27.1% pa), or 27 years if we assume compounding growth (of 16.4% pa).

A history of demands: philosophy and agrobiology. The significance of the founding principles of organic farming within the framework of contemporary development
BESSON, Y.
History of organics
Organic farming originally deals with the problematic nature/technique within a holistic view. The order of things inspires organic agronomy and social thoughts on agriculture. The link between what is and what has to be socially is not thinkable within modern right and ethic, but it is in accordance with the ancient philosophy. A. Howard, R. Steiner, H.P. Rusch, M. Fukuoka, found their biology according to this fundamental way of behaving. The biology of those founders stands between various philosophical speculations, esoteric speculations, empirical observations, and scientific approaches. According to the ancient philosophy, these authors are suggesting an imitation of nature based on a cyclic understanding. Human intrusion in nature, although founding element of farming, remains hard to legitimate. Indeed the founders are anxious about the agricultural chemistry’s consequences on ecology and society. Today the biological foundation of organic farming could cross again with evolutionism and ecology. A more dynamic conception of nature will open new ways for agronomic reasoning. This also opens up on a more humanistic philosophy of farming. Nevertheless, the holistic ethic of organic farming remains an innovating source for its contemporary development.

Meme Maps: A Tool for Configuring Memes in Time and Space
Paull, John
Research methodology and philosophy
History of organics
Education, extension and communication
Knowledge management
This paper presents an elegant method for visually representing the life and times of a meme, an element of cultural transmission. The elements of a Meme Map are described, and the steps for constructing a generic Meme Map are listed. A worked example of a Meme Map (using the "organic" meme) is provided. A Meme Map is a powerful and flexible tool for capturing, displaying and sharing memetic information - illustrating the time and space propinquity of Meme Events - yet it is easy to learn and simple to apply. Meme Maps can readily be drawn on “the back on an envelope”, or they can be professionally produced using any standard drawing package on a computer.

A Century of Synthetic Fertilizer: 1909-2009

This year marks a centenary of the synthetic fertilizer industry. German chemists, Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch, in 1909 demonstrated their industrial process for the manufacture of ammonia. The achievement won them accolades including Nobel Prizes. The output of their Haber-Bosch process can be used for either peace or war, agriculture or munitions, and the rapid adoption by Germany of this industrial process is credited with prolonging WW1. Most of the synthetic nitrogenous fertilizer of the past century, and right up to the present, has been manufactured using the Haber-Bosch process. The use of synthetic fertilizers has led to significant negative environmental outcomes. Rudolf Steiner was an early voice against chemical agriculture. Steiner's Agriculture Course of 1924 led to the development and world-wide proliferation of Bio-dynamic Agriculture, a farming system which has always championed the biological fixation of nitrogen by soil micro-organisms. This paper identifies ten key differences between biological and Haber-Bosch chemical fixation of nitrogen.

The World's First and Newest Organic Magazines are Australian
Paull, John
Australia
History of organics
Values, standards and certification
Australia was an early adopter and advocate for organic farming. The world's first farming organisation to adopt "organic" into its title was the Australian Organic Farming and Gardening Society (1944-1955). The Society published the Organic Farming DIgest, starting in April 1946. The Organic Farming Digest was the first "organic" agriculture journal in the world to be published by an association. The Australian Organic Farming and Gardening Society and the Organic Farming Digest both predate the founding of the UK Soil Association. The Australian Society developed and published a set of 10 principles of organic farming, the first institution to do so. The principles enunciated by the Australian Organic Farming and Gardening Society condemned the use of toxic sprays in agriculture, expressed concern for soil micro-organisms, worms, bees and birds, decried the pollution of rivers, urged water conservation, condemned deforestation, urged large-scale tree planting, and advocated mixed farming rather than monocultural farming practices. This account of Australia's organic pioneering society is published in the first edition of Australia's new organic business magazine, The Organic Way.

The Living Soil Association of Tasmania (LSAT) (1946-1960) pioneered the concepts of organic food and farming in Australiaʼs smallest state, for the decade immediately after WWII. The LSAT was one of the worldʼs first organisations to promote organic farming. It was preceded by New Zealandʼs Humic Compost Society (founded in 1941), the Australian Organic Farming and Gardening Society (1944), Australiaʼs Victorian Compost Society (1945), and Englandʼs Soil Association (1946). The Tasmanian Association engaged, or was officially affiliated, with each of these four organisations. The LSAT actively courted and recruited a broad spectrum of organisations and government departments, particularly those with interests, or responsibilities, in agriculture, health, and education. The Association consistently sought a co-operative approach while avoiding a confrontational approach. An innovation of the LSAT was the provision for ʻJunior membersʼ; the LSAT constitution included separate and specific Objects for Junior Groups, one of which was for school children to eat organic food.

In the last decade, an ever increasing interest of both foreign and domestic academic and general public for organic agriculture can be observed. Organic agriculture, as a new agricultural production system, enables full utilization of farming potentials while satisfying social and economic needs and preserving natural ecosystem and environment. Act on Organic Production of Agricultural Products and Foodstuffs provides an elementary strategic frame for agricultural production development in Republic of Croatia. This article gives an overview of organic agriculture legislation in Croatia and detailed analysis of development periods of organic agriculture. Special emphasis is put on structure of organic production which highlights data on organic plant and animal production in Croatia. The paper provides a comparison between levels of organic agriculture development in the world (with the special emphasis on Europe) and in Croatia, as well as the overview of main obstacles towards more significant development of organic agriculture in Republic of Croatia.

Henry Shoobridge, Tasmania's Pioneer of Organic Farming
Paull, John
History of organics
Education, extension and communication
Australia
Henry Shoobridge (1874-1963) was the pioneer of organic farming in Tasmania. He was the founder and the president of the island’s earliest organics advocacy group, the Living Soil Association of Tasmania (1946- 1960). The Shoobridge family had emigrated from Kent, England in 1822 bringing with them the hops cuttings with which they established hops as a successful primary industry in Tasmania. Henry Shoobridge was schooled at The Friend’s School, the Quaker school in Hobart. The Shoobridges pioneered the farming of hops in Tasmania, and Henry followed his forebears in this work. At the age of 71 years, Henry Shoobridge founded the Living Soil Association of Tasmania (LSAT) at a public meeting in Hobart on 30 August 1946. The LSAT affiliated with the Australian Organic Farming and Gardening Society (AOFGS) which was founded in Sydney in October 1944, and with the UK’s Soil Association which was founded in England in May 1946.

How Dr. Ehrenfried Pfeiffer Contributed to Organic Agriculture in Australia

Ehrenfried Pfeiffer (1899-1961) was 25 years old when Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) delivered his eight lectures on agriculture from 7th June to 16th June 1924. In those eight lectures at Koberwitz, Rudolf Steiner laid the basis for biodynamic agriculture. Steiner advocated an agriculture informed by anthroposophy, and that the ideas he expounded in the eight agriculture lectures should be developed by experiments, practice and observation. Ehrenfried Pfeiffer took up this task and he spent the rest of his life in the pursuit. Pfeiffer published his book ‘Bio-Dynamic Farming and Gardening’ in 1938. It was the first popular account of bio-dynamic agriculture. In that book Pfeiffer presented the practical results of more than a decade of farming practice and experimentation. Pfeiffer was a major contributor to Australia’s first organic farming journal, the 'Organic Farming Digest' (1946-1955); he was the leading contributing author from the USA. Pfeiffer's lecture tour to Australia planned for 1953, and visiting the states of NSW, Victoria, and South Australia, was cancelled at short notice due to his ill health.

The Future of Organic Agriculture: Otopia or Oblivion?
Paull, John

History of organics
Organic agriculture could feed the world, but will it? A state of Otopia, an organic Utopia of 100% organic food and organic agriculture, is a dream, or is it a pipe-dream? And if a dream, might it manifest in four decades or 54 decades? The stated goal of the organic movement is the adoption worldwide of organic agriculture. That task has a long path to travel, with organic agriculture currently accounting for 0.8% of agricultural land worldwide. Two roads to Otopia are extrapolated from the rate of growth of global organics exhibited over the past decade. If an arithmetic rate of growth - think simple interest - continued indefinitely then a state of Otopia would take 544 years (2553). Under a geometric growth scenario - think compound interest - Otopia would be reached in 39 years (2048).

Determinants of economic growth in organic farming: the case of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg

History of organics
Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht Faktoren, die möglicherweise einen Einfluss auf das wirtschaftliche Wachstum von 332 ökologischen Betrieben in Bayern und Baden-Württemberg haben. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Direktvermarktung und der Tierbesatz das einzelbetriebliche Wachstum positiv beeinflussen. Diese Effekte sind deutlicher ausgeprägt als andere Einflüsse. Daneben kann gezeigt werden, dass technisch ineffiziente Betriebe stärker wachsen als technisch effiziente Betriebe. Dies kann mit dem ökonomischen Druck auf ineffiziente Betriebe und mit Ineffizienz im Wachstumsprozess erklärt werden.

From France to the World: The International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM)

History of organics
Knowledge management
The formation of the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) at Versailles, France, in 1972 set organic food and farming on a strong future trajectory. It was an initiative of France’s Nature et Progrès, and driven by its then President, Roland Chevriot. IFOAM was founded with the support of a small cluster of kindred organisations: Rodale Press of the USA; the Soil Association of the UK; the Soil Association of South Africa; and the Swedish Biodynamic Association. None of these five organisations bore the term ‘organic’ in their title, nevertheless, the choice of name acknowledged ‘organic’ as the term to signify their common cause. It secured ‘organic’ as the core narrative element and as the international descriptor of what is now a clearly identifiable and differentiated segment of the global food and farming sector. From the outset ‘biodynamic’ was accepted as a special case of ‘organic’. The formation of IFOAM created an entity which united the aspirations, the philosophies and the hopes of disparate groups each with roles primarily restricted to national advocacy. IFOAM has grown to a federation of 804 organisations from 111 counties. Organic production statistics are now reported by IFOAM from 154 countries and organic sector retail sales are reported to be US$51b annually. IFOAM is based in Bonn, Germany, and as the global umbrella advocacy group for the organic sector it is without peer.

History of organics
Rudolf Steiner’s Agriculture Course held at Koberwitz (now Kobierzyce, Poland) in 1924 was arguably the world’s first organic agriculture course - although the terms ‘biodynamic agriculture’ and ‘organic farming’ appeared in the decades that followed. Ehrenfried Pfeiffer and others have stated that there were about 60 attendees at the course, while Rudolf Steiner and others have stated that there were about, or more than, 100 attendees. The present study examines the original attendance records to reveal that there were 111 attendees. There were 30 women and 81 men. They came from six countries: Germany (N=61); Poland (N=30); Austria (N=9); Switzerland (N=7); France (N=2); and Sweden (N=2). Of the 60% of enrolees who declared a profession, 38 could be described as ‘agricultural’ and of these 20 described themselves as farmers. There were additionally nine priests, four medical doctors, three teachers, two artists and two engineers. Four of the Keyserlingk host-family (Alex, Carl, Johanna and Wolfgang) attended the course, as did Dr. Lili Kolisko, Dr. Elisabeth Vreede, and Guenther Wachsmuth. Dr. Ehrenfried Pfeiffer and George Adams Kaufmann gained prominence later in biodynamics but were not at the course. The Agricultural Research Circle was an immediate outcome of the Course and this led to Pfeiffer’s book 'Bio-Dynamic Farming and Gardening' in 1938.

A Postcard from Oxford: Rudolf Steiner at Manchester College

History of organics
At the height of his powers, Rudolf Steiner presented a two-week conference at Oxford. The ‘Oxford Holiday Conference’ was titled ‘Spiritual Values in Education & Social Life’ (Mackenzie, 1922b), and it was this 1922 conference that laid the foundations for establishing Waldorf education in Britain and from there the rest of the Anglo world. The original Waldorf School had been established in 1919 by Rudolf Steiner at the invitation of a German industrialist, Emil Molt, in Stuttgart, Germany. Steiner states that in the Waldorf School he sought "to apply the educational principles arising out of Anthroposophy”. The Stuttgart school began with 150 students and this had grown to 700 by the time of the Oxford Conference. The Oxford Conference ran from 15-29 August, there were 14 presenters, 230 delegates, morning lectures were presented by Steiner in Arlosh Hall at Manchester College, and afternoon lectures were held at Keble College. The Conference was organised by Professor Millicent Mackenzie. Steiner spoke in German, with George Adams Kaufmann translating. The Conference was widely and favourably reported in the British press. At the close of the Conference a committee was formed of at least 11 individuals, including Mackenzie and Professor L. P. Jacks, the Principal of Manchester College, to progress the ideas presented. Photos of the Conference venues within Manchester College include the Manchester College Library, Arlosh Hall and the Manchester College Chapel.

Rudolf Steiner and the Oxford Conference: The Birth of Waldorf Education in Britain
Paull, John
Education, extension and communication
History of organics

Two years before the Agriculture Course at Koberwitz, and at the height of his powers, Rudolf Steiner travelled to Oxford to deliver a course on education. The lectures were translated by George Adams Kaufmann who was later to be the first to translate the Agriculture Course. The Oxford Conference in the summer of 1922, 15-29 August, introduced Waldorf education to a British audience and laid the foundations for its international diffusion. Steiner dominated the Conference proceedings although he was only one of the listed 14 speakers for the 'Spiritual Values in Education & Social Life' event. Contemporary documentation is examined to reveal key aspects and the significance of the Conference at which there were 230 attendees. Steiner presented each of the 12 morning lectures at Manchester College, now Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford; he spoke in German. Afternoon and evening events were presented at the nearby Keble College. Conference events included, reportedly, the first Eurythmy demonstrations in Britain. Performances were presented by Eurythmists from Dornach as well as by Oxford school children. The Conference received widespread press coverage. An outcome of the Conference was a five paragraph statement issued by the delegates and stating the intention to create a world-wide association to foster the founding of new schools. A Provisional Committee of at least 11 members was elected and charged with this object. The Oxford Conference served as a catalyst for the establishment of Waldorf schools in Britain and the broader English-speaking world, and is a key historical event in the proliferation of Waldorf education.

Biodynamic Agriculture: The Journey from Koberwitz to the World, 1924-1938

History of organics
In the last year of his life, the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner challenged the direction and practice of contemporary agriculture. This was an early response to the proliferation of chemical agriculture. Steiner laid the foundation for an alternative agriculture, one that would ‘heal the earth’, in the agriculture course, a series of eight lectures at Koberwitz (now Kobierzyce, Poland) in 1924. Steiner set in train a process that led to the development, articulation, and naming of biodynamic agriculture, culminating in the publication of 'Bio-Dynamic Farming and Gardening' by Ehrenfried Pfeiffer in 1938. Pfeiffer's book appeared in Dutch, English, French, German, and Italian, and fulfilled Steiner's injunction to bring his agricultural lecture course to "a form suitable for publication".

History of organics
It is widely accepted that statistical analyses are essential tools for improving agronomic techniques, and our goal was to discuss the importance of such tools to alternative agronomic approaches. Effective comparisons between organic and conventional production systems are not as common as they could be, because it is usually difficult to meet the assumptions of traditional statistical approaches in making such comparisons. In this context, the current paper indicates that alternative approaches (such as organic farming) should be promoted not only by encouraging farmers to deploy agroecological techniques, but also by providing agroecologists with robust analyses based on rigorous statistical procedures.
Keywords: agroecology; multivariate statistics; ecological agriculture.

The Betteshanger Summer School: Missing link between biodynamic agriculture and organic farming
Paull, John
"Organics" in general
Farming Systems
History of organics
Knowledge management
Biodynamic agriculture and organic farming have been regarded as having different provenances and having arisen independently. The present account introduces the ‘missing link’ between the two. In 1938 Ehrenfried Pfeiffer published the milestone book on biodynamics: Bio-Dynamic Farming and Gardening. In 1940 Lord Northbourne published Look to the Land, the work that introduced the term ‘organic farming’. In the summer of the intervening year, Pfeiffer travelled from Switzerland to Northbourne’s estate in Kent, UK, and presented for British farmers a nine day course on biodynamics, the Betteshanger Summer School and Conference on Bio-Dynamic Farming, 1-9 July 1939. Pfeiffer was supported by the pre-eminent biodynamic scholar-practitioners, Otto Eckstein and Hans Heinze. Dr Scott Williamson of the Peckham Experiment was the sole British lecturer at the Betteshanger Summer School. For the UK Bio-Dynamic Association, the Betteshanger Summer School was the highlight of the year. Northbourne and Pfeiffer had collaborated on the Farleigh Experiment in 1938, and Northbourne had travelled to Switzerland in January 1939 to arrange Pfeiffer’s visit. War broke out less than eight weeks after the Betteshanger Summer School. Northbourne’s manifesto on organic agriculture, Look to the Land, was published in May of the following year. The book took the Steinerian and biodynamic view of ‘the farm as an organism’ as its central tenet and adopted it as the nominative motif for ‘organic’ farming. The book offered to the Anglophone world an account that was secular and distanced from any Anthroposophic or Germanic roots. Subsequently, Northbourne sought to bring Pfeiffer to the UK but Pfeiffer’s next and final visit was in 1950. The Betteshanger Summer School and Conference on biodynamics has been otherwise unreported. As this account demonstrates, Betteshanger was a stepping stone from biodynamics to organics. Northbourne sponsored Pfeiffer’s visit and the Betteshanger biodynamics conference in 1939, and the following year he introduced his term ‘organic farming’ and its philosophy in his book Look to the Land.

A Postcard from Stuttgart: Rudolf Steiner's 150th anniversary exhibition 'Kosmos'
Paull, John
Education, extension and communication
History of organics
Knowledge management
It is easy to imagine that Rudolf Steiner (1861‐1925) would be delighted with the new exhibition 'Kosmos Rudolf Steiner' at Stuttgart's modernistic Kunstmuseum. Kosmos is a major retrospective exhibition of Steiner's life and ideas. Kosmos appears 150 years after Steiner's birth, and this is a timely anniversary to present the manand his ideas, fresh to a new audience. Kosmos Rudolf Steiner is, first and foremost, a celebration of a life lived with intensity, purpose and zest. Visitors may be drawn by curiosity, and others will be drawn by familiarity. Whether it was art, agriculture, architecture or anthroposophy, whether education or eurythmy, furniture or well-‐being, Steiner touched it, and his touch has endured. After Stuttgart, the exhibition moves to Vitra Design Museum, Weil am Rhein, Germany, 15 October 2011 to 1 May 2012. It is in Germany but it is just a 10 km drive from Basel in Switzerland. Further venues are planned.

The Uptake of Organic Agriculture: A Decade of Worldwide Development

History of organics

Countries and regions
It has been claimed that organic agriculture is the fastest growing agriculture based industry in the world. The land devoted to organic agriculture worldwide has increased over the past decade from 15.8 million hectares to 37.2 million hectares exhibiting a compounding rate of growth of 8.9% per annum. This paper disaggregates the global growth in organic agriculture land over the past decade using country as the unit of analysis. For each country, two indices of organics sector growth are derived, firstly, the actual hectares increase, and secondly, the hectares-multiplier, that is the factor by which the organic hectares have changed over the decade. Growth over the past decade is presented for 71 countries which taken together account for 35.3 million organic agricultural hectares, that is 94.8% of the total global organic agriculture area and 58.2% of the total global agriculture area. The analysis reveals that, underlying what appears at the global level to be steady incremental growth over the decade, the growth appears very uneven when disaggregated by country. The decadal increase in organic hectares ranges from Australia’s gain of 4.3 million organic hectares and China’s gain of 1.9 million organic hectares through to Costa Rica’s decrease of 1549 organic hectares. Globally, the organic hectares total has multiplied by 2.3 in the decade from 2001 to 2011, but this has varied greatly by country. Uruguay increased its organic hectares dramatically with a hectares-multiplier of 716.1, and India with a multiplier of 689.7. In contrast, Denmark has barely increased with a hectares-multiplier of 1.07, while Suriname exhibited the greatest shrinkage with a multiplier of 0.03. China and India are the only countries that rank in the top ten countries for both of the indices of organics growth, namely, the decadal organic hectares increase and the decadal organic hectares-multiplier.

The secrets of Koberwitz: The diffusion of Rudolf Steiner’s Agriculture Course and the founding of Biodynamic Agriculture

Rudolf Steiner presented his Agriculture Course to a group of 111, farmers and others, at Koberwitz (Kobierzyce, Poland) in 1924. Steiner spoke of an agriculture to ‘heal the earth’ and he laid the philosophical and practical underpinnings for such a differentiated agriculture. Biodynamic agriculture is now practiced internationally as a specialist form of organic agriculture. The path from proposal to experimentation, to formalization, to implementation and promulgation played out over a decade and a half following the Course and in the absence of its progenitor. Archival material pertaining to the dissemination of the early printed editions of ‘The Agriculture Course’ reveals that within six years of the Course there was a team of more than 400 individuals of the Agricultural Experimental Circle (AEC), each signed a confidentiality agreement, and located throughout continental Europe, and also in Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and USA. Membership expanded to over 1000 AEC members (with a lower bound estimate of 1144 members) who were committed to working collectively towards an evidence based, new and alternative agriculture, ‘for all farmers’, which was to be developed into a ‘suitable for publication’ form. That publication milestone was realized in 1938 with the release of Ehrenfried Pfeiffer’s ‘Bio-Dynamic Farming and Gardening’ which was published simultaneously in at least five languages: Dutch, English, French, German and Italian.

Book Review: Jones, Rebecca (2010) Green Harvest: A History of Organic Farming and Gardening in Australia. CSIRO Publishing, Melbourne.
Paull, John
Australia
History of organics
Green Harvest is an introduction to four Australian organic farmers and gardeners. Each example is framed within the context of an historical account which is itself subsumed within Jones’ own “four key principles” of organics. At the outset, the author alerts us to her view that “History is both fact and fiction” (p.ix). It is a novel approach which will not appeal to all, and will be unsettling for some. The author states that: “Environmental history is the lens through which I have examined organic growers’ changing ideas about
health and environment” (p.ix). The author claims that: “I have identified four key principles, each founded on organic farmers’ and gardeners’ belief in the dependence of health on the biophysical environment. These four principles are: soil, chemical-free growing, ecological wellbeing and back to the land” (p.xiv). In this five chapter book, these four “principles” provide the headings for the first four chapters, and each of these chapters carries a “case study”, each of which is based on one or several interviews
