The role of organic farming in sustainable agricultural production

Summary in the original language of the document

This presentation was given for students at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), Ås in a course entitled PJH 300: Sustainable Production Systems in Agriculture, over 2 x 45 minutes. It presents an overview of the organic farming sector, nationally and on a global level, explaining what organic agriculture is about, how it has developed over time, important organisations such as IFOAM, and possibly of interest for other researchers, a timeline over years describing what I believe qualifies as the most important milestones for organic agriculture in Norway in each year (slide 31 of 56).
