Development of Organic Agriculture
Listed below are ten country case studies of which five are from developing economies, two from emerging economies or economies in transition, and three from more developed economies.

The driving forces behind the first initiatives and actions of organic sectors are  multifaceted; not only in political, environmental and economic conditions, but also in their social, cultural, and environmental context. 

Today, emerging sectors can draw on a wealth of information and experience as well as benefit from a well-developed global organic market.
