Profitable Organic Farming

By Jon Newton

Book Overview

Forecasters had already predicted that organic farming will double its production in five years but now the Government has promised to support it financially. The effect of such government support in Germany has been dramatic, leading to a fourfold increase in the number of organic farms and sevenfold increase in land area. A similar rate of growth could occur in the UK where many farmers dislike set-aside and organic farming provides a better alternative. Although a growing public demand for organic products is assured, the main problem of how to make it pay remains. This book, by a former scientist at the Grassland Research Institute who is now at the Organic Advisory Service, identifies the key points for success and draws on the experience and knowledge of farmers who have turned organic farming into a thriving commercial enterprise.
