NO This report is about the contribution that organic agriculture can make in the EECCA region in the context of the green economy. It is mainly based on three national case studies, Armenia, Moldova and Ukraine. Information was collected, two workshops were held in each country and a national report was produced for each country. Based on those case studies and other sources this regional synthesis is offered, recognising that the EECCA region is very diverse and experiences from Moldova are not fully applicable in, for example, Turkmenistan. The first chapter introduces organic agriculture, the concept of the green economy, the EECCA region and the agricultural conditions in the region. In the second chapter, the current status of the organic sector in the EECCA is described, and the final chapter is a discussion on how organic agriculture can contribute to the green economy and what are the opportunities and challenges. In addition, a number of recommendations are made.
