| Abstract | This study is a qualitative research paper to investigate the organic agricultural policy of Sikkim State and the Republic of India. The research utilizes government reports, documents and the policies of Sikkim and India. Sikkim officially announced it was the first to achieve its goal of 100 percent organic status, and the first in the world to become an organic state. There are three notable remarks of transformation to organic state: (1) Sikkim is a decentralized state in India and has independent policy-making; (2) continuous and comprehensive organic promotion of the Republic of India since 2000; and (3) continuous and comprehensive organic promotion of Sikkim state since 2003. Lessons learned from Sikkim which can be applied to Thailand include (1) potential areas or priority zones of organic agriculture in Thailand should be identified; (2) policy formation and policy implementation of organic agriculture of both central and provincial government should be relevant, and financial decentralization is essential to meet the provincial context that has been declared the potential areas or priority zones of organic agriculture; and (3) a ministry/office should be established to have responsibility of direct promotion of organic agriculture. |
