Positioning Organic Ethics - Re-Thinking Organic Food and Farming in a Changing World - page 312

by those who produce process, trade and consume food and those who formulate
policies and those who research, advise and certify. A broad range of institutions
in the environment of the organic movement—education, advisory service, science,
political, industries and a consumers who are able to decide between consumerism
and citizenship (see Adamoli, Chap. 6 ) are the surrounding factors and actors
intervening into the organic system. The IFOAM Principles must stand the test
before today's challenging conditions—in developing a value driven organic agro-
food chain, and to fulfill broader responsibilities for society (ecosystems services,
food security, etc.), and their formal integration into political regulatory instruments
(Dabbert and Eichert 2007 ). National and international debates on IFOAM Norms,
the Principles, Standards and orientations for Accreditation, express an awareness
of the continuous need for adaptations and reactions to changes inside of the organic
movement and new societal challenges. 4 In this reality, organic must chart its own

ethically based path.
