Organic agriculture is a small but growing concern in Thailand. Farmers are starting to realise that not only is it better for the environment but also a healthier production method. It also taps into a niche market; especially in Bangkok where more and more shops, restaurants and hotels are offering organic products for savvy, health-conscious consumers.

Organic farming in South East Asia is not as widespread as it is in western countries. Now countries in Asia are playing "catch-up" as organic food becomes more popular with consumers. Organic farmers in Bali are forming cooperatives and selling their produce in farmers' markets.
