Summary in the original language of the document
I løpet av de siste årene har flere hundre økobønder meldt seg ut av Debio, kontrollorganet for økologisk landbruk i NOrge. Samtidig viser en nylig gjennomført spørreundersøkelse blant tidligere og nåværende økobønder at en av fire økobønder vurderer å melde seg ut (se kronikk av samme forfattere i Nationen 7. mai 2008). De viktigste årsakene til å melde seg ut var 1) for mye byråkrati med Debio-sertifisering og –kontroll, 2) for små tilskudd til økologisk landbruk, 3) uforutsigbare politiske rammevilkår for økologisk landbruk og 4) for lav merpris på økovarer.
Summary translation
In the last years, many farmers in Norway have opted out of certified organic farming. A recent study with questionnaires among organic and formerly organic farmers showed that one out of four organic farmers considered opting out of organic farming. The most important reasons to stop organic farming was found to be 1) too much bureaucrazy with the certification and control, 2) too small economic support for organic farming,3) unpredictable political conditions for organic farming and 4) too low premium prices on organic products.
