About
Economic and Social Commission for As a and the Pacific (ESCAP) has been trying to carry out a detailed analysis of the current status of organic farming in Asia. Of particular interest is the relationship of organic farming systems with rural poverty alleviation and sustainable livelihoods. Seven country studies and one regional study on the potential of organic farming for rural employment and income generation in Asia were carried out. These studies provided the basis for a regional workshop held between government representatives from 14 countries, non-governmental organizations, and international groups. This report examines the country study reports, in addition to putting forward recommendations drawn up at the workshop held in Thailand, in November 2001. The country studies include: China, India, Malaysia, Philippines, Republic of Korea, Sri-Lanka and Thailand.
