Sustainable agriculture, a key aim of the Rio+20 Outcome Document “The Future We Want” (UN 2012a), has a significant role to play in encouraging a move to a greener economy. Paragraph 111 states: “We reaffirm the necessity to promote, enhance and support more sustainable agriculture, including crops, livestock, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture, that improves food security, eradicates hunger and is economically viable, while conserving land, water, plant and animal genetic resources, biodiversity and ecosystems and enhancing resilience to climate change and natural disasters”. International trade can facilitate the transition to a green economy by helping to create and strengthen global markets for sustainable agriculture and improve food security. Trade policies as well as trends in domestic and international consumer demand are important factors that lead to changes in agricultural practices. This is notably applicable to certified farming practices such as organic and fair trade production.
