      abstract = {The aim of this article is to test the thesis "commitment  of retail chains as well as favourable policy conditions  are the main drivers of the steady market growth of organic  agriculture in Europe." (Yussefi and Willer, 2003).  Therefore, the role of government policy and of retail  chains in four European countries - Denmark, Germany, the  United Kingdom and the Netherlands - are analysed. It seems  that the collaboration between government, chain  participants and NGOs is of considerable importance, in  which active stimulation and the provision of guidance to  the channel from the retail chains, in combination with an  active and stimulating government policy, can cause an  impulse in growth. It should be noted that other factors  must also be present in order for market players to  convert; likewise, consumer demand should be well  developed.},
