“…One analysis of Thai farmers growing organic rice under contract found their incomes to be significantly enhanced compared to conventional rice (Setboonsarng, Leung, & Cai, 2006). Other studies of vegetable growers, however, have found incomes from organic farming to be significantly lower than for conventional farming, largely due to lower yields (Rattanasutteerakul & Thapa, 2012). “Safe” vegetable growing can also still produce bias towards already more well‐resourced and well‐educated farmers (Kersting & Wollni, 2012) and is of course still subject to the fluctuations of market demand for certain products.…”

hailand is deeply linked to the world food system, with food exports key to the country's global connections. It has been a world leader in tackling poverty-related malnutrition and is food secure at a national level. New challenges are emerging with increases in obesity and diet-related disease as well as the relative poverty of farmers constraining capacity to avoid non-sustainable agricultural intensiication. Here, we consider hai enmeshment in the global food trade and impacts on food and nutrition security for farmers and urban consumers. We review past and present policy approaches, and examine the prospects for hailand to interact with these new challenges. ResumenTailandia está profundamente vinculada al sistema de alimentos mundial, ya que las exportaciones de comida son clave para las conexiones mundiales del país. Ha sido un líder mundial en enfrentar la desnutrición relacionada con la pobreza y tiene seguridad alimentaria a nivel nacional. Nuevos desafíos están surgiendo con los incrementos en obesidad y las enfermedades relacionadas con la dieta, así como la pobreza relativa de los agricultores que limita la capacidad de evitar la intensiicación agrícola no sustentable.

“…The online survey on Brazilian consumers about the consumption of organic vegetable products (Dorce et al, 2021) indicates that the variables used to measure include behaviour, intention, attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, perceived price, perceived health benefits along perceived sustainability. Rattanasuteerakul and Thapa, 2012;Slamet et al, 2016). Therefore, this study presents hypotheses about the factors affecting the demand for organic vegetables in the northern midland and mountainous areas of Vietnam after studying previous works.…”

Vietnam had the world's 92 nd highest cancer rate out of 185 countries and territories in 2020. There are many causes, of which polluted environment and unsafe food are the two primary causes. The large amounts of pesticides in vegetables that are toxic to humans are also harmful to the environment. Therefore, the demand for safe vegetables is increasing while the current supply is not enough, difficult to find and trace the product origin. This study analyzes the demand for organic vegetables in the northern midland and mountainous regions of Vietnam. The research shows that only 77% out of 128 surveyed consumers are knowledgeable about organic vegetables. Among which, 84% knowing about organic vegetables spend 40% of their income on healthy and organic food. After using the SEM model to analyze the influencing factors, it shows that consumers' confidence, understanding and income have positive relations with the intention of buying organic vegetables. Family size is another determinant of organic vegetable buying behaviour. Families with vegetarians or Asian preferences tend to use vegetables more often. Moreover, the study shows that the organic vegetable market in the northern mountainous region of Vietnam is not fully developed; the range of organic agricultural products needs to be expanded, in addition, continuous supply, better marketing, better educating and providing information for customers are necessary to increase the supply as well as the production of organic vegetables in this region.

This study has been conducted in an agricultural hilly area of Karo District, in North Sumatera Province, Indonesia. The study was conducted in May until July 2016. The objective of this study is to analyse slurry characteristics as organic fertilizer in which biogas is used to yield better slurries. Five biodigesters were used with 5 differents designs of mix materials: T1) 100% cow feces, T2) 75% cow feces + 25% argicultural waste, T3)50% cow feces + 50% agricultural waste, T4) 25% cowfeces + 75% agricultural waste, and T5)100% agricultural waste. The parameters measured were slurry production and slurry chemical compositions including N,P ,K, pH, and C/N.The result showed that T1 and T2 were better in chemical compositions(N,P,K, pH and C/N) while all treatments produce equal volume of slurry. It is suggested that local farmers use the composition of T1 and T2 when using biogas technology in supporting organic fertilizer. It is noteworthy that this first study is continued with the second one which utilize the resulting slurries of the first on Asparagus and analyse their performance during the period of August to October 2016.
