Organic agriculture is being promoted in Iran to address environmental problems resulted from the use of chemical materials in agriculture. Despite many advantages of organic agriculture, the results of several case studies show that its adoption rate is still very low among farmers. The purpose of this paper is to review previous studies that investigate the main factors influencing and challenges of adopting organic agriculture.The review included journal articles and conference papers from 2007 to 2012. The results showed that Iranian farmers have strong motives for the adoption, yet face challenges in certifying, marketing, access to reliable technical information, and credits.Given the review of factors that govern farmers' adoption of organic agriculture, key mechanisms for promoting farmers' adoption are discussed. Further research is needed to learn how to bring these mechanisms into play in Iran.

Development of demand for organic foods on three European markets (Denmark, Italy and UK) was investigated by means of quantitative analysis of household panel data and qualitative analysis of consumer life stories and shopping patterns. Potential development was investigated by means of scenario analysis undertaken by experts. Considerable differences between households underlay patterns of increasing aggregate demand at national levels, and fluctuations over time were identified at the household level. Interest in purchasing organic products on a regular basis and actual changes in shopping practices did not proceed apace. Limited availability has constituted a major barrier to increasing demand among 'regular' users. Demand on the part of 'occasional' users reflected a wider range of barriers, including lack of interest in and knowledge about production and processing and lack of trust in stakeholders and certification procedures. A likely scenario for future demand is that of continued stable expansion, dependent upon whether increasing input costs will favour organic production, whether the relative gap between organic and conventional food prices becomes smaller, whether organic products will be distributed more widely on national markets, and whether support for research and conversion of organic production systems on the part of public authorities is enhanced.

“…Stakeholders, both individuals and groups, are considered important in a system because stakeholders can influence and can also be influenced in making decisions. This relates to the power, resources, information, expertise and the needs of each of these stakeholders (Vairo et al 2009). Ristianingrum et al (2016) stated that, main problems in Indonesia's organic farming are mostly related to stakeholders and support system.…”
