This paper deals with the concept of ES and its application
to organic agriculture to help alleviate some of the negative
impacts of intensive agriculture and ensure food security
(Ericksen et al., 2009). In the following sections, we discuss the
concept of ES in relation to organic agriculture. We also
discuss the conceptual model of the linkages between ES and
organic agriculture, economic value of ES in organic agriculture,
citing examples from global studies. We conclude with
comments on future research directions.
