Presentation: Comparing reasons for opting out inAustria, Denmark, Estonia and Norway

Matthias Koesling Anne-Kristin Løes

While the number of organic farms was rising rapidly in almost all European Countries since the beginning of the 1990s, some organic farmers were opting out of certified organic farming the later years. For farmers in Estonia and Denmark, unsatisfactory economic results were named as dominating reason for opting out. In Denmark these problems were mainly due to marketing problems. Other important reasons in Estonia were too much bureaucracy, difficulties to fit animal production to the regulations and difficulties in weed control. Difficult and changing regulations, getting stricter over time, were mentioned most frequently by Norwegian and Austrian farmers and also important for those in Denmark.

Mange forhold spiller sammen - resultater fra dybdeintervju med tidligere økobønder

Matthias Koesling

Det ble gjennomfort dybdeintervju for a belyse hvilke faktorer som spiller sammen nar bonder melder seg ut av sertifisert okologisk produksjon. Det ble valgt ut fire brukere som har meldt seg ut mellom 2002 til 2007. Det ble valgt ut brukere med sauehold, kumelk, gronnsaker, poteter og urter og korn. I tillegg ble det intervjuet to okologiske ringledere og gatt gjennom skriftlige tilbakemeldinger fra sporreundersokelsen.

Går lønnsom og miljøvennlig drift overens

Ola Flåten Matthias Koesling Sissel Hansen Asbjørn Veidal

I «Miljomelk»-prosjektet sa vi pa sammenhengen mellom lonnsomhet og viktige miljohensyn som nitrogenoverskott, klimagassutslipp og energibruk. Dessuten undersokte vi om faktorer som driftsform (okologisk/konvensjonell), bruksstorrelse, innkjop av nitrogen og forbruk av kraftfor pavirker lonnsomhet og miljovirkninger. Lonnsom drift og miljovennlig drift kan i mange tilfelles forenes.

Ausstieg aus der zertifiziert ökologischen Landwirtschaft inNorwegen – Motivation und anschließende Wirtschaftsweise

Matthias Koesling Anne-Kristin Løes

From 2002 to 2006, 7 % of the certified organic farmers in Norway opted out. A combination of a qualitative and quantitative approach was used to explore how many farmers consider to opt out, their reasons for this, and how close to or far from the organic principles they plan to manage the farm afterwards. 24 % of the certified organic farms consider to opt out in the next 5 to 10 years. The main reasons were frustration about certification, too low subsidies and premium prices, and unpredictable political frame conditions. Most plan to change to conventional farming, but more than 25 % plan to practice close to organic standards, with no or little use of pesticides and artificial fertilizers. These farmers sell about 25 % of their produce directly to consumers. Farmers opting out seem to be influenced by the organic principles, and it would be misleading to call the process “re-conversion”, which implies a transition to conventional farming.

Økologisk korn – dyrking og økonomi

Matthias Koesling Randi Berland Frøseth

Det er for tida sterkt fokus pa dyrking av okologisk korn, bade til mat og for. Og mens noen husker at det var umulig til a selge okologisk korn til merpris for noen ar tilbake, anslas behovet for 2009 til 25 - 30.000 dekar mer okologisk forkorn og 6.000 dekar mer okologisk matkorn for a unnga import. Okonomien for okologisk korn ser bra ut. Men er det nok til a vurdere omlegging til okologisk korndyrking bare pa grunnlag av dette? Hva er viktige faktorer nar en vurderer okologisk korndyrking ved husdyrlos drift?

Poster: Noen økobønder slutter - hva er årsakene?

Anne-Kristin Løes Ola Flåten Gudbrand Lien Matthias Koesling

Siden 2002 har mellom 150 og 200 produsenter arlig meldt seg ut av Debio. Den viktigste arsaken var for mye byrakrati med kontroll og sertifisering. De som fortsetter med okologisk drift nevner uforutsigbare politiske rammevilkar som viktig utfordring. Okonomiske forhold var viktige arsaker eller problemer for begge gruppene.
