   Aspects of this paper are based upon a recent international workshop in Bangkok. The workshop was excellent and the proceedings already make an important contribution to the existing literature. This document reflects only one aspect of the discussion, albeit a very important aspect, that of meeting the MDGs and how organic agriculture can contribute to that process.
