Organic agriculture is a low-cost and effective way to help many of the world’s poorest people to have good levels of nutrition and a better quality of life. The present book is to enable a better understanding the need of organic products and its marketing in Indo-Chinese perspectives in seven chapters. This study aims to understand the potential value of organics to farmers and the role of organics as an option in economic development and food security. The major constraints to food security are found in social, economic and political conditions rather than in production methods themselves. The main solutions to food security problems will therefore be found in social, economic and political improvement. Most importantly, the world urgently needs to increase the training in good organic practices to ensure that the poorest smallholder farmers can have the increases in yield that are needed to achieve food security.

The advent of the World Trade Organization, a new international economic order of world trade, has shifted the locus of economic decision-making from central political and economic constructs to the ‘new integrated’ world. In India, the WTO agreement has been dogged by controversy from the very beginning. This volume attempts to capture this on-going debate and introduces the objectives and functions of WTO; explains the nature of its agreement on agriculture (AoA); presents a brief review of the recent growth of Indian agriculture; examines the results of some of the macro-economic studies on Indian agriculture; studies the Indian agricultural export with special reference to WTO agreements; brings out some of the critical views and recommendation of the dialogue on the nature of WTO related challenges; elaborates on the commitments that India had taken during the Uruguay Round negotiations and presents a three pronged strategy to deal with the implications of WTO on Indian agriculture from the perspective of intellectual property rights.
