Case studies aimed at comparing sustainable farming methods with conventional methods are presented. These comparisons focus on production cost, yield, price premium and net profit. The difficulties with which the producers are confronted are analysed and possible solutions to overcome them are explored. The publication also discusses the roles of nongovernmental organizations, private stakeholders and other institutions involved in sustainable agriculture and explores possibilities for greater collaboration among them. 650 0 $a Environmental responsibility $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Produce trade $x Certification $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Sustainable agriculture $v Congresses. 700 1 $a Andersen, Mikkel. 700 1 $a Pazderka, Catherine. 710 2 $a Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. $b Commodities and Trade Division. 711 2 $a FAO Meeting on Voluntary Standards and Certification for Environmentally and Socially Responsible Agricultural Production and Trade $d (2004 : $c Rome, Italy) 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160823025902.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3704686868F811E68AB74A8ADAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
