speaking organic

The IFOAM EU Group created a youtube channel with expert interviews discussing different aspects of the new Common Agricultural Policy after 2013. The videos are part of the Mind the CAP campaign which  " seeks to raise awareness and increase understanding of the Common Agricultural Policy among farmers and citizens from the perspective of the organic movement " (1). Most videos are in English and only a few minutes long. In all other cases you can use the subtitles offered from youtube. I think they are really informative and nicely put together, so I'm quite surprised about the fact most of them count so few views to this point. read more: (1) Mind the CAP campaign:  http://www.ifoam-eu.org/en/mind-cap/mind-cap-campaign

With t he yearbook "The World of Organic Agriculture - Statistics and Emerging Trends" the  Research Institute of Organic Agriculture ( FiBL ) and the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements ( IFOAM ) publishes quite a pile of numbers and statistics about " recent developments in global organic agriculture " (1). As the title tells the yearbook claims to discuss a rather comprehensive complex of topics.  I'll give a glimpse into a selection of findings which are most interesting from my point of view.
