There are now several examples of European countries which have increased their organic agricultural areas, starting from just such a low base as Britain has now. Sweden increased its organic agricultural percentage from 1.6 to 11.2% in four years, Denmark has increased from 1.5 to 5.9% and Austria reached 10.9% by the year 2000. 

In the book The Safe Use of Pesticides While Intensifying Agricultural Production [21], the paragraphs on polychlorpinen in beet fields were lost among data linked to OCP contamination of breast milk in Japan, the USA, and Sweden the dangers to the inhabitants of Italy from herbicide contamination of the Po river the poisoning of the inhabitants of the USA and Canada by watermelon from a plantation treated with pesticides and many other facts.

The scientific community provided much of the original impetus for improved environmental protection in Sweden. Swedish scientists, for instance, focused attention on the health hazards from organic mercury compounds used in agriculture several years before the Minimata poisonings in Japan brought those problems to the attention of the rest of the world.1 The Swedish chemist Soren Jensen was the first to describe the bioaccumulation properties of PCBs, and the pioneering radiation and biochemical re-...
