Costa Rica (i/ˌkoʊstə ˈriːkə/; Spanish: [ˈkosta ˈrika]; literally meaning, "Rich Coast"), officially the Republic of Costa Rica (Spanish: República de Costa Rica), is a country in Central America, bordered by Nicaragua to the north, Panama to the southeast, the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Caribbean Sea to the east, and Ecuador to the south of Cocos Island. It has a population of around 4.5 million, of whom nearly a quarter live in the metropolitan area of the capital and largest city, San José.
Costa Rica was sparsely inhabited by indigenous people before coming under Spanish rule in the 16th century. It remained a peripheral colony of the empire until independence as part of the short-lived First Mexican Empire, followed by membership in the United Provinces of Central America, from which it formally declared sovereignty in 1847. Since then, Costa Rica has remained among the most stable, prosperous, and progressive nations in Latin America. Following a brief but bloody civil war, it permanently abolished its army in 1949, becoming the first of only a few sovereign nations without a standing army.
Organic foods are foods produced by organic farming. While the standards differ worldwide, organic farming in general features cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that foster cycling of resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity. Synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers are not allowed, although certain approved pesticides may be used. In general, organic foods are also not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents, or synthetic food additives.
Currently, the European Union, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan and many other countries require producers to obtain special certification in order to market food as organic within their borders. In the context of these regulations, organic food is food produced in a way that complies with organic standards set by national governments and international organizations. Although the produce of kitchen gardens may be organic, selling food with the organic label is regulated by governmental food safety authorities, such as the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) or European Commission.

Costa Rica is the world’s largest pineapple producer and Germany’s main supplier of the fruit. Cheap labor and pesticides mean low prices in Western Europe. While organic pineapples are now being farmed on a larger scale to increasing demand, this likewise has negative consequences for Costa Rica’s ecosystem. Tropical fruits such as pineapples, bananas and kiwis have been available in West European supermarkets for years. But the innocent appearance of these popular products is deceptive. The fruits are cheap because costs are cut in the production countries - affecting wages and health factors. Costa Rica is the world’s largest pineapple producer, and is known both for its exemplary ecological approach and for sustainable tourism. It is in this very country, however, where workers on pla...

You may have noticed that organic food and products have expanded from specialty stores into the aisles of mass-market retailers and supermarkets. And you may have noticed that some of these products have moved out of special sections within those mass stores onto shelves next to mainstream products, directly competing for consumer dollars. The data tells the growth story: the organic industry grew 10 percent from 2011 to 2012. It has grown to $31 billion in sales in 2012 from $8 billion in 2002, according to the Organic Trade Association. Now, Target is expanding its product mix of organic, natural, and sustainable goods to meet this growing consumer demand. Under a new category of "Made to Matter," Target will offer over 120 new products from 17 brands whose goods are already instore, s...
Professor Carlo Leifert, director of Southern Cross University’s Centre for Organics Research, talks about the need to attract young people into organic farming. The future for organic farming is bright, explains Professor Leifert, and the sector needs people from a wide variety of backgrounds – including social sciences, biology and even medicine – who can contribute to this agricultural revolution.

Marco Schlüter, director of the IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements) EU Group, explains the view of the organization on the EU Commission legislative proposal on the organic sector. The EU executive's draft, Schlüter says, is a step in the right direction but provides too tight deadlines for the farmers to adapt to the new rules.

The Portuguese organic sector is worried about the effects the growing of genetically modified maize may have on its business. It doubts whether coexistence between organic and GM farming is possible. In this film several issues are raised such as the measures and costs to avoid contamination, the effects of possible contamination on the sustainability of organic farms and maize landraces and liability issues. Farmers, a processor, a scientist and an anti GM campaigner express their views. PRICE (PRactical Implementation of Coexistence in Europe) researches the implementation and costs of coexistence strategies in practice. The Consortium wants to communicate actively with stakeholders and a wider audience. Apart from a dedicated project website (www.price-coexistence.com), newsletters a...

The EkoBiz project was so popular it exceeded its expectations to train 25 young people in organic farming practices. More than 70 people ended up taking the training and were helped to develop viable business plans. EkoBiz also encouraged 10 schools and 10 nurseries to develop small-scale projects related to organic farming and agriculture. This annual EU-wide competition puts the spotlight on the most innovative and inspiring EU funded projects and illustrates, through concrete real-life exam...
Malta's agricultural sector have high hopes for organic farming. Unable to compete on large quantities of agricultural production, the country focuses on quality instead. But challenged by water scarcity, land fragmentation, geography and size, organic farming in Malta is still in its infancy. The Informal Meeting of Agriculture Ministers, held by the Maltese EU presidency, featured a tour of Malta’s agricultural sites, followed by discussions in Valletta. This video provides highlights of the tour and a series of comments by EU Commissioners, Karmenu Vella and Phil Hogan, and Malta's minister for agriculture, Roderick Galdes.

In Africa, the demand for organic products has been growing steadily over the years. Many grass-roots initiatives in Africa have started to sell organic products in neighbourhood shops, street markets or in organic shops in a town. Organic food offers multiple benefits and attractive income potential for producers, processors and trading companies all over the world. Certified organic products provide access to attractive local and international markets, where higher prices and incomes are possible. As a result, organic products from Africa are currently exported to many countries, particularly to Europe. Starting organic farming is only the first step - selling the products is another challenge. How can producers, processors and traders in Africa be successful in the organic business? T...

Learn the secrets of Australia's Top Organic Farmers. Organic farming is currently receiving a lot of attention. Many farmers are keen to give organics a go but are unsure about the process involved and it's viability. Our one hour video hopes to demystify organic farming by bringing together some of Australia's top commercial organic and non-toxic farmers, and ask them how they manage their enterprises without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Mark joined a tour led by Nuffield Farming Scholar Don MacFarlane which took in ten different properties including the Victorian Agricultural Research Centre. The great thing about the one hour video is that it allows the farmers involved to tell their own story on why they went organic, how they went about it and whether it has bee...
