Description

About the Book

Organic agriculture is a low-cost and effective way to help many of the world’s poorest people to have good levels of nutrition and a better quality of life. The present book is to enable a better understanding the need of organic products and its marketing in Indo-Chinese perspectives in seven chapters. This study aims to understand the potential value of organics to farmers and the role of organics as an option in economic development and food security. The major constraints to food security are found in social, economic and political conditions rather than in production methods themselves. The main solutions to food security problems will therefore be found in social, economic and political improvement. Most importantly, the world urgently needs to increase the training in good organic practices to ensure that the poorest smallholder farmers can have the increases in yield that are needed to achieve food security.
