Abstract: This paper shows the direct linkage existing between the environmental sustainability and the diffusion of organic agriculture The reason is that the environmental impact of organic agriculture is different and somehow less polluting than industrial let us say traditional one Moreover the former delivers also healthier food according to part of the literature Thus seeking for sustainability the policy maker may find easier to influence the allocation of natural resources in favour of the organic cultivation as an instrument to care Nature In order to claim this rationale a model of resource allocation is presented and the golden rule derived The paper finally shows that organic agriculture generates a global positive externality which implicitly measures the relevance of the balancing intervention on resources allocation
