Bhutan, which has only 700,000 people. Most of whom are farmers, has another shot at international fame if it can make good on a recent pledge to become the first country in the world to convert to a 100 percent organic agricultural system.
Last month at the Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development, Prime Minister Jigmi Thinley said his government is developing a National Organic Policy because the country's farmers are increasingly convinced that "by working in harmony with nature, they can help sustain the flow of nature's bounties."

and the only country in Hindukush Himalayan region to have 6o% of land covered by forest with forest area of 3 ha per person..Bhutan is a very beautiful country and perhaps one of the environmentally conscious country ...
