ABSTRACT
Organic agriculture is emerging as an important sector globally. This research was under taken in part fulfilment of the requirements of an MSc in Environmental Conservation at the University of Greenwich in summer 2010. Regarding the current organic practice situation of the UK and Bangladesh, this research focused on exploring key issues associated with organic agriculture in the UK and Bangladesh. An extensive review of the literature was followed by a pre-pared questionnaire survey and interviews were undertaken with representative farmers in both countries. The findings of this research including the reason of organic farming adoption, major organic products' type as well as marketing and certification systems were discussed and the issues for farmers in each country were compared with suggestions made for further development of this sector. With increasing concern about the environment and quality of produce as well as improving farmers' socioeconomic status the trend for organic production is likely to continue to achieve the goal of organic agriculture practice and a bright future for organic farmers is predicted.
