From Alternative Agriculture to the Food Industry: The Need for Changes in Food Policy Niels Heine Kristensen and Thorkild Nielsen , Technical University of Denmark Issue: The development of organic agriculture has developed bottom-up, emerging from the 'counterculture' characterized by organic farmers, environmentalists and 'political' consumers. National authorities and supranational institutions have responded by establishing rules and control systems for organic agriculture over the last decade. Organic food production is now developing fast in some EU member states. This recent development is not only marked by more positive attitudes towards organic products from the food industry but also by an increasing need for a matching response in terms of food policy. Relevance: The EU regulation 2092/91/EEC is mainly focused on organic agriculture but as the food industry enters this field the need emerges for a more specific interpretation, development and implementation of the organic principles and methods in processing, handling and distribution. Whether the development of EU regulations will meet future consumer demands will be of great importance. Introduction Even though this production system has been successful for decades, the increasing number of symptoms indicate a need to assess the overall production regime behind it. A search for other possible production regimes would come out with organic production as a relatively new but successful production system. This article investigates to what extend and under what conditions the organic production system offers a realistic alternative.

Response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Draft Unified National Strategy for Animal Feeding Operations January 13, 1999 Denise C. Coleman USDA, NRCS P.O. Box 2890 Washington, DC 20013-2890 Dear Ms. Coleman: The Henry A. Wallace Institute for Alternative Agriculture (Wallace Institute) welcomes the opportunity to provide input into the process of developing a draft unified strategy for animal feeding operations by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Wallace Institute is a nonprofit, tax-exempt, research and educational organization. Established in 1983, the Institute encourages the adoption of low-cost, resource-conserving, and environmentally sound farming methods. The Wallace Institute is generally encouraged that the USDA and EPA have undertaken a joint effort to address the present and potential environmental problems originating from animal feeding operations (AFOs), especially concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Furthermore, we agree with the draft strategy's effort to encourage, through voluntary and non-voluntary means, the development of comprehensive nutrient management plans (CNMPs) for all AFOs. In addition, the Wallace Institute agrees with the move to differentiate CAFOs from other smaller and less-intensive AFOs, with regard to regulatory approaches. This strategy potentially enables the USDA and EPA to better target and control pollution caused by the animal agriculture industry.
