      abstract = {Numerous studies have examined the consumption of organic  products in various
European countries and found a higher  consumption of organic products in the
northern European  countries as opposed to the southern countries. While  Germany is 
taking a pioneering position in Europe with the  largest European market, Norway is 
falling out of this  pattern. Based on a model determining organic consumption  from a
cross-national perspective developed by Thøgersen  (2010) this study analyses, why
significant differences in  organic consumption of organic milk occur between
Germany  and Norway. Furthermore, it is discussed whether organic  farming is a
viable option for Norway since conventional  farming in Norway is already considered as very  environmentally friendly. The results of this study point  to the weaknesses of the Norwegian organic market and give  policy suggestions to resolve this. They contradict the  widespread opinion among Norwegian consumers that Norwegian  agriculture is almost organic. Norwegian agriculture is of  no degree less industrialized than German agriculture;  their problems are simply perceived to be of a lesser  extent by consumers.},
