The journal Organic Agriculture offers a mixture of original refereed research papers covering developments in sustainable agriculture and food systems often with an inter- or trans-disciplinary perspective. The journal also includes invited critical reviews on topical issues, and overviews of the status of organic agriculture in particular regions/countries. Organic Agriculture is the official journal of the International Society of Organic Agriculture Research. ISOFAR was launched in 2003 and seeks to promote, encourage and support research in all areas of organic farming by facilitating global co-operation in research, methodological development, education and knowledge exchange.
