Although organic farming is still not widely practiced, it has grown remarkably in recent years because of changes in consumer tastes, government assistance, and advancements in technology. To sustain this momentum, concerted efforts are needed to overcome challenges and to capitalize on new opportunities. This new book offers a comprehensive compilation that highlights the production systems of organic agriculture. The volume provides an overview of organic agribusiness and consumer behaviours related to organic food products, discussing organic inputs and the organic production methods of different countries as well as emerging business models for the organic products value chain. The authors discuss issues related to sustainable packaging, certification, supply chain management, retailing, marketing strategies, entrepreneurship development, regulatory issues, and global consumer perceptions of organic products, which have a very big impact on the organic food supply chain.
