Six steps towards change Their findings support previous studies which states that the institutional development of organic farming proceeds along six formal and informal steps: establishment of an organic farming community, establishment of political recognition, financial support, establishment of non-competitive relationships between the organic sector and general agricultural institutions, creating an organic food market and finally, developing an arena for discussion and coordination. ...There are some general recommendations to be drawn from the results, says lead author Markus Larsson. Above all, the countries must ensure there is sufficient institutional and financial support for the organic sector to develop further. Furthermore, to maintain the growth of the sector, there is a need for a mature and independent market. In other words, support should be directed towards a market-oriented approach. The study also points out the importance of improving infrastructures. Better road networks and availability of water and electricity services would benefit organic as well as conventional production. stockholmresilience.org/21/research/research-news/1-9-2014-healthier-agriculture-healthier-sea.html?
