Incentives to Change: The Experience of the Organic Sector

Summary

If we as society want to see real change in the world and move towards true sustainability, the real cost of our current food system needs to be made evident—and eventually reflected in the price—so that all participants can take full responsibility for their actions.We need to change how we treat the environment and use natural resources, as well as how we interact with each other when it comes to food and agriculture. Organic agriculture, which has been practised for several decades now, can teach many lessons about how to steer such a transformative process effectively.
