Conteúdo:	Farmers or consumers may ask about the environ- mental implications when choosing organic pro- ducts from afar. Is it sustainable to buy organic products from China or South America? How much does the long-distance transport affect the climate and carbon footprint of the products? And does the organic production in the countries concerned benefit the environment? These are some of the questions raised ? and the point of departure for a recently finalized PhD study.
