Abstract:

The potential of ecological organic agriculture for tropical climate is well documented. Organics respond to the many challenges and opportunities that call for a fresh impetus. Organic food and farming systems have enabled the market for certified organic products to develop and gain a significant foothold in many parts of the world; and are ecologically sound, economically viable, socially just, culturally diverse and transparently accountable. Increasing adoption of organic principles in mainstream agriculture improves global sustainability. Growing the organic sector (certified & non-certified) while making it more sustainable should be the aim. Looking from the best practice agriculture and value chain; it can be seen from different dimensions-ecology, economy, culture, society and accountability; and can observed from several criteria for sustainability. Good governance, consumer needs and health, particularly in the fast changing technology environment and rapid urbanization is needed. Ecological organic agriculture would be the potential system for the future.
