We outline important underlying reasons that fuel the decades-long controversy over adverse effects of Bt toxins expressed in genetically modified plants on beneficial, nontarget organisms. Inconsistent evaluation standards and asymmetrical levels of scrutiny applied to studies reporting significant adverse effects compared to those finding no adverse effects are described using the examples of the green lacewing (Chrysoperla carnea) and the twospotted lady beetle (Adalia bipunctata). Additionally, the chosen style and concerted nature of the rather confrontational counter study and responses in the lady beetle cases bear striking similarities to other reported examples in the field of biosafety/risk science of genetically modified plants and to other... |

Zusammenfassung Während der Jahre 2009-2011 wurden am FiBL über verschiedene Projekte Grundlagen zur betrieblichen und produktbezogenen Energie- und Klimabilanzierung erarbeitet. Daraus wurde ein Modellansatz entwickelt, mit dem der Energieverbrauch und die Treibhausgasemissionen (THG-Emissionen) auf Betriebsebene abgeschätzt werden können. Aus diesen Vorarbeiten ist 2011 und 2012 das FiBL-Betriebsmodell entstanden, mit dem es möglich ist: 1. detaillierte Klimabilanzen von Schweizer Biobetrieben durchzuführen, 2. zwischenbetriebliche Vergleiche anzustellen und 3. die Auswirkungen von betrieblichen Veränderungen oder Anpassungsstrategien auf die THG-Emissionen zu berechnen. Die grosse Stärke des Betriebsmodells ist seine hohe Flexibilität in Bezug... |

Climate change increases the number of risks for agricultural production in arid and semiarid regions, especially in Western Africa. Smallholder farmers are particularly vulnerable to climate change risks. These risks affect their socioeconomic situation, as well as the local food sector value chain in general. Therefore, their food security is threatened if smallholder farming structures do not adapt to them. Thus, effective climate change adaptation measures for smallholders are essential and should be implemented without delay. However, success hinges on the acceptance of the promoted measures among various stakeholders. Thus, their acceptance needs to be assessed before promoting. The project “The potential of sustainable land-use systems to promote... |

Im folgenden Bericht wird eine erste Analyse verschiedener Bausteine sowie eine gesamthafte Beurteilung des Potenzials einer benchmarkbasierten Methodologie unternommen, um bodenbürtige Lachgasemissionen aus der Landwirtschaft zu reduzieren und daraus CO2-Zertifikate für die Kompensation unter den Aktivitäten der Stiftung KliK zu generieren. Der Fokus in diesem Bericht liegt auf einem neuen Berechnungstool für bodenbürtige Lachgasemissionen auf der Ebene von Landwirtschaftsbetrieben als grundlegender Baustein für entsprechende Offset-Methodologien. Dies ist der Abschlussbericht einer Vorstudie zu dieser Thematik, der bei positiver Beurteilung des Potenzials dieses Zugangs eine vertiefte Hauptstudie und Umsetzungsphase für eine solche... |

Organic production is perceived by consumers as being superior in animal welfare and sustainability and the demand for organic pork products is slowly increasing. Within the past ten years a variety of husbandry and management systems have been developed across the EU, ranging from farms with pigs outdoors all year round using local breeds to farms with housed pigs having concrete outside runs and using conventional breeds (CorePIG, Rousing et al, 2011). So far, mainly clinical parameters have been used to describe the health situation on organic pig farms, identifying some key problems, such as weaning diarrhoea and piglet mortality. Organic pig production is - amongst others - characterised through a holistic approach based on the EU Regulation (EC) No... |

ProPIG ist ein europäisches Bioschweine-Forschungsprojekt im Rahmen des CORE Organic II Programmes. Die Studie wird von 2011-2014 in acht europäischen Ländern auf insgesamt 75 Bioschweinebetrieben (je 3 Betriebsbesuche) durchgeführt, und wird vom Department für Nachhaltige Agrarsysteme koordiniert. In den letzten Jahren haben sich Wissenschaftler intensiv mit der Thematik „Nachhaltigkeit in der Landwirtschaft“ und dem Einfluss der Landwirtschaft auf den Klimawandel beschäftigt. Die Haltung von Nutztieren ist je nach Produktionssystem (z.B. Ökologisch, Konventionell, Freilandhaltung) mit unterschiedlichen Umweltauswirkungen (z.B. Treibhausgasemissionen) verbunden. Bislang wurden die Umweltauswirkungen der verschiedenen Haltungssysteme von Bioschweinen... |

Challenges and opportunities of on farm research are discussed and it is concluded, that transdisciplinary on-farm research requires from all involved parties: Understanding and willingness to learn from each other Acceptance, that own field of research is only a part of the whole “on farm picture” Sound scientific methods as well as technical tools for support (e.g. tablet PCs) Move from being/expecting “experts” towards “facilitation" |

During the last years the demand and use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for calculating and comparing the ecological impacts of agricultural products has increased. However, within LCA important environmental impacts of agriculture, for instance biodiversity, soil quality or animal welfare are considered inadequately or stay unaccounted. In the case of biodiversity agriculture is considered as the main driver for the worldwide biodiversity loss. Thus, biodiversity cannot be neglected in future agricultural LCAs. Even though there is no widely accepted approach yet, a lot of research has been undertaken to solve the question how biodiversity can be assessed in the LCA framework. Within a literature review eleven studies with biodiversity assessment... |

Sustainably feeding the growing world population and preventing dangerous climate change are two of the major challenges facing society today. While there is a growing understanding of the complexity of the links between these challenges and of the global degradation of the environment, the contribution of food and farming to climate change mitigation is all too often looked at from the single perspective of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per hectare or kilogram of product. This narrow view fails to account for the vast array of ways that food and farming contribute to climate change, as well as the destructive effects of industrial agriculture on soils, biodiversity and the natural resources on which we depend for food production. The impact of... |

With sustainability becoming an increasingly important issue, several tools have been developed, promising to assess sustainability of farms and farming systems. However, looking closer at the scope, the level of assessment and the precision of indicators used for impact assessment we discern considerable differences between the sustainability impact assessment tools at hand. The aim of this paper is therefore to classify and analyse six different sustainability impact assessment tools with respect to the assessment level, the scope and the precision. From our analysis we can conclude that there is a trade-off between scope and precision of these tools. Thus one-size-fits-all solutions with respect to tool selection are rarely feasible. Furthermore, as the... |

Contexte La rentabilité d'une exploitation est une condition essentielle pour assurer la réussite de la culture sans labourage dans la pratique. Question expérimentale Dans quelle mesure le travail réduit du sol se distingue t-il du labourage sur le plan des finances et de la gestion du travail? Conclusion �Dans l'essai de longue durée à Frick, le travail réduit du sol affiche de meilleurs résultats que le labourage. Les coûts de production étant presque identiques, le rendement est le critère de jugement décisif. Après trois ans, les premiers résultats des exploitations pratiques ne confirment toutefois pas encore les avantages économiques du travail du sol sans labourage. |

Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have increased since the pre-industrial era, driven largely by economic and population growth, and are now higher than ever. This has led to atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide that are unprecedented in at least the last 800 000 years. Their effects, together with those of other anthropogenic drivers, have been detected throughout the climate system and are extremely likely to have been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century. |
