Organic Crops or Energy Crops? Options for Rural Development in Cambodia and the Lao People's Democratic Republic

The agricultural sectors of developing Asian countries are experiencing two important new developments: the growth of organic agriculture (OA) and the increasing use of land to grow energy crops (biofuels). This policy brief summarizes the pros and cons of OA and biofuel and makes policy recommendations based on a detailed investigation for Cambodia and the Lao People's Democratic Republic.
