Agent Orange Day: Remediating chemical trespass
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Paull, John.
Agent Orange Day, 10th August, is a day for us to remember the raison d'être of the organics movement. It was on this day, 51 years ago, that the USA embarked on the most audacious and extensive program of chemical warfare that the world has witnessed. Continuously, over a decade (1961-1971), vast swathes of Vietnam's forests, waterways, and croplands were drenched and re-drenched in high dosage agricultural herbicides, reportedly up to 50 times the recommended dosages. The US military intention was to denude the land of forests and crops, and, on these crude terms, it was a success. Estimates put the area of Vietnam affected at three million hectares (7.4 million acres). The objective was to deny cover and crops to ‘the enemy’. The Viet Cong were fighting...

Environmental targets and shadow prices of bad outputs in organic and conventional farming
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Huhtala, Anni; Marklund, Per-Olov.
The shadow prices can be used as indicators of the costs of environmental regulation imposed as reflected in alternative farming technologies adopted. We illustrate our analytical findings with implications of the Finnish water protection policy measures on conventional and organic livestock farms over the period 1994-2002. Generally, the representative organic farm is found to be more technically efficient relative to its own technology than is the conventional representative farm. However, there is no statistical indication of a difference between these two particular representative farms in valuing the costs of undesirable output (manure) at the margin.

Akkumulation von Schadstoffen in europäischen Böden durch alternative Phosphordünger
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Weissengruber, Lina; Friedel, Jürgen K.; Möller, Kurt.
Der Vorsorgewert wurde nur von Cr überschritten. Es zeigt sich, dass das Verhältnis von Schadstoff zu Phosphor eine wichtige Rolle spielt. Von Düngern mit einem geringen P-Gehalt, wie den Komposten, muss eine größere Menge ausgebracht werden, was in dieser Berechnung zu einer höheren Schadstoffanreicherung führte. Grüngutkompost hatte das höchste Akkumulationspotenzial für alle Schwermetalle, nur bei Cadmium wurde er von Triplesuperphosphat übertroffen. Vermutlich ist die atmosphärische Schermetallbelastung von Grünschnitt in Städten und entlang von Straßen besonders hoch und konzentriert sich im Kompost. Die Schadstoffgehalte der Dünger können, je nach Ausgangssubstraten, unterschiedlich sein. Als Phosphordünger eingesetzt, hatten Struvite, Fleisch- und...

Poster: Organic milk as a sustainability strategy for Finnish milk system
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Mikkola, Minna.
Dairy farming in Finland is historically a mode of family farming, although modes like dairy farm companies and collaborative farms are increasing. Organic farmers are relatively young, well educated and their farms are modern and in the average, rather large. The use of automated milking systems (AMS) allows larger cattle sizes and makes work easier compared with previous methods. The organic cows’ feed is mainly grown on the farm, which makes organic milk production truly local business. The feeding is based on clover-grass silage, barley, oats, pea and rape-seed, the latter being often commercial. The organic cows produce about 8 000 kg milk yearly featuring a fairly reasonable level of intensity. The relatively small cattle sizes support disease...

Evaluation of Environmental Impacts of Organic Farming by LCA method - Greenhouse Gases from Corn Production
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Moudry, Jan (Jr.); Bernas, Jaroslav; Moudry, Jan; Konvalina, Petr; Kopecky, Marek.
Organic farming is perceived as a system with a number of positive impacts on all components of the environment. For more precise assessment of differences in environmental impacts of conventional and organic farming, we need to be able to measure and quantify such impacts. For this the LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) method may be used as a tool. Among other, the LCA method is also an invaluable tool for assessing GHG emissions related to agricultural production. In this paper, the use of LCA for evaluation of GHG emissions from Zea Mays L. growing is presented. The emission load was calculated by the simplified method LCA, impact category: climate change. The calculation was performed by SIMA Pro software with integrated ReCiPe Midpoint (H) method. The...

Spatial-temporal soil moisture dynamics under different cocoa production systems
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Niether, Wiebke; Schneidewind, Ulf; Armengot, Laura; Adamtey, Noah; Schneider, Monika; Gerold, Gerhard.
Soil moisture has high spatial and temporal variability, depending on topography, soil texture, vegetation and meteorological conditions. It influences many processes in the soil and supplies water to the vegetation. This is often a limiting factor in agricultural production.  Over an 18-month period, we measured soil moisture dynamics down to a depth of 70 cm in a long-term trial in Bolivia comprising six different land-use systems, i.e. cocoa monocultures and agroforestry systems, both under organic and conventional management, successional cocoa agroforestry systems and a natural fallow. Soil was heterogeneous over the area and in depth. We identified and separated two soil groups which differed in both, texture and soil water retention capacity....

Soil nutrient status and okra pod yield as influenced by plant density and cattle dung manure application
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Law-Ogbomo, K.E.; Osaigbovo, A.U.; Ogedegbe, S.
A field was carried out on an ultisol in humid area of Edo State, Nigeria to evaluate the effects of plant density and cattle dung manure application on soil nutrient status and okra pod yield. Treatments consisted of three levels of cow dung (0, 300 and 450 kg N ha-1) and three plant densities (47,619, 66,666 and 83,333 plants per hectare (pph)). A 3 x 3 factorial arrangement fitted into randomized complete block design and replicated three times. Data were collected on soil chemical properties and pod yield of okra. Routine analysis of the soil indicated that the soil was low in nutrient content, thus addition of cattle dung to the soil at various levels influenced the soil nutrient status positively. After cropping with okra, cattle dung application had...

Towards more ecoefficient food production: MFA approach
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Risku-Norja, H.; Mäenpää, I.; Koikkalainen, K.; Rikkonen, P.; Vanhala, P.
The key for the sustainable development is dematerialisation and ecoefficiency. Applied to  agriculture ecoefficiency means production of nutritionally better food by using less inputs  and by reducing the environmental burden. In restricting the material throughput it is essential  to identify the most voluminous material flows and to direct the measures to them. Improving  ecoefficiency of the food production requires that the benefits and the inputs are quantified in  an unambiguous way and that the inputs are estimated for the whole production chain. A  comprehensive view of the whole system is necessary.  The food system comprises four mutually linked loops: 1) the plant production 2) the  livestock husbandry, 3) the food processing industry and 4)...

Nachwachsende Energieträger im Organischen Landbau
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Für den Vergleich der Entwicklungspfade sind die CO2-Minderungspotentiale einer Erzeugung nachwachsender Energieträger auf stillgelegten Flächen, unter Beibehaltung jetziger intensiver Formen der Landwirtschaft, der CO2-Minderung einer flächendeckenden Organischen Landbewirtschaftung gegenüber zu stellen (vgl. HAAS et al. 1995). Der Organische Landbau selbst wird aufgrund systemimmanenter Erfordernisse keinen relevanten Beitrag bei der Erzeugung nachwachsender Energieträger mit den heute in der Diskussion befindlichen Hauptnutzungs-Kulturen erbringen können. Für die Verwendung von Reststoffen können einzelbetriebliche oder lokale Standortvoraussetzungen Substitutionspotentiale für fossile Energie in geringerem Umfang bereitstellen. Der zu hohe fossile...

Verwerken van maaisel voor landbouwkundig gebruik: Waarde van compost,bokashi en bermgraskuil als meststof
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Janmaat, Leen.
Gewasresten van het landbouwbedrijf en maaisel uit beheersgebieden vormen reststromen die geschikt zijn als organische meststof. Deze reststromen kunnen als input voor composteren worden gebruikt. Bij composteren verdwijnt een deel van de organisch gebonden koolstof naar de lucht. Een alternatief is het fermenteren en conserveren van maaisel en andere inputs is het zogenaamde Bokashi-methode. Bokashi betekent “goed gefermenteerd organisch materiaal”. Met behulp van micro-organismen, zeeschelpenkalk en kleimineralen wordt het fermentatieproces in werking gezet.Het fermenteren vindt plaats onder zuurstofloze omstandigheden. In Noord-Holland zijn experimenten gedaan met het bereiden van Bokashi en die zijn vergeleken met compost. De waarde van Bokashi kan...

Fundamental understanding of cellulose dissolution can improve the efficiency of biomass processing
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Ghasemi, Mohammad; Tsianou, Marina; Alexandridis, Paschalis.
A major barrier to the efficient utilization of biomass is the recalcitrance to dissolution of crystalline cellulose. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the current understanding of the mechanism and kinetics of cellulose dissolution, with particular attention on how these findings can improve the efficiency of biomass processing. An improved fundamental understanding of cellulose dissolution can guide the rational selection of solvents and the optimization of processing conditions, thus leading to an enhanced utilization of biomass.

Organic Agriculture in a Development Policy Perspective
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Egelyng, Henrik; Halberg, Niels; Høgh-Jensen, Henning.
Farmers growing food with high eco-efficiency may be seen cultivating peace by reducing competition among nations for oil and as producers of other public goods: biodiverse landscapes and ecosystem services with more soil fertility, less water use and less pollution. How does Organic agriculture (OA) fare globally on eco-efficiency? Are most African farmers eco-efficient – or may eco-efficient farmers be found everywhere? As OA develops throughout the planet, what does Denmark do beyond Europe? Is organic farming part of our development  policy? Do we dilligently share our comparative advantages in this field with developing nations? This article pursues these basic questions.

Organic farming enhances soil microbial abundance and activity - A meta-analysis and meta-regression
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Lori, Martina; Symanczik, Sarah; Mäder, Paul; de Deyn, Gerlinde; Gattinger, Andreas.
Population growth and climate change challenge our food and farming systems and provide arguments for an increased intensification of agriculture. A promising option is eco functional intensification through organic farming, an approach based on using and enhancing internal natural resources and processes to secure and improve agricultural productivity,  while minimizing negative environmental impacts. In this concept an active soil microbiota plays an important role for various soil based ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling, erosion control and pest and disease regulation. Several studies have reported a positive effect of organic farming on soil health and quality including microbial community traits.  However, so far no systematic quantification...

Transforming Rural Communication  Three sociological case studies in a developed and urbanized rural area of northern Germany: regional partnership Lübeck bay, organic dairy farming and nature protection
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Oppermann, Rainer; Rahmann, Gerold.
Marginal rural areas suffer from isolation and a lack of communication with the outside world. The renaissance of rural values and food quality-related issues has brought many urban people to again approach rural areas and actors, sometimes with the intermediation of other more or less professional actors. In an EU share cost project TRUC (EU-QoL:QLAM-2001-00025; 2001-2003), several cases of regional and rural development throughout Europe have been analysed on the topic of transforming rural communication.  We present three of these cases in northern Germany: the Model Region Luebeck Bay, Organic Milk and Nature Protection. All of these projects are located in an area where urbanization and the multifunctionality of rural action and development is highly...

Grønngjødsel i økologisk korndyrking - Resultat fra Byggro-prosjektet
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Hansen, Sissel; Frøseth, Randi Berland.
Helårs grønngjødsel brukes for å bedre jordas fruktbarhet og sanere ugras. Det er mye næring i en slik grønngjødseleng. Mest mulig av denne næringen må være tilgjengelig når kornet trenger det. Dette for å sikre gode avlinger og unngå forurensing.  I Byggro-prosjektet har vi prøvd ut ulik handtering av helårsgrønngjødsel. Etter slått ble grønnmassen enten hakket og tilbakeført, fjernet eller fermentert i biogassreaktor og delvis tilbakeført som gjødsel til korn neste vår.

Impact of production method and production area on energy balance of rye consumed in Helsinki
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Sinkkonen, Marko.
The results of the study show that production of fertilizers is the biggest factor in the rye production chain. Therefore organic rye tillage is not as intensive in energy usage as conventional practices. The energy consumed for transportation does not play a big role in total energy consumption of rye consumed in Helsinki.

Transitions to Agroecological Systems: Farmers’ Viewpoints
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Padel, Susanne; Rubenstein, Oliver; Woolford, Amelia; Egan, Jim; Pearce, Bruce.
We report a social science study of farmers’ experience of transition towards agroecological approaches in the UK with the aims to   (i) identify motivations, challenges and opportunities encountered, together with the perceived benefits and disadvantages associated with the transition and   (ii) gain an understanding of individuals’ trajectories in context, including social, economic, biophysical, cultural and psychological dimensions.   Fourteen farmers in England, Scotland and Wales that had undergone an agroecological transition were interviewed in early 2017 using a semi-structured interview case study approach. Answers were analysed, considering mainly two theoretical models of farmers’ decision-making.  Key triggers were farmers newly taking over a...

Systemic Sustainability of the French Organic Rice and PGI Einkorn Value Chains: A Preliminary Assessment Based on Network Analysis
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Quiédeville, Sylvain; Bassene, Jean-Baptiste; Lançon, Frédéric; Chabrol, Didier; Moustier, Paule.
Public authorities and consumers increasingly support food value chains that are more environmentally friendly. However, these value chains are faced with technical, economic and institutional limitations, calling into question their long-term viability. Based on two case studies of alternative food chains in France, namely einkorn (Triticum monococcum) in Haute Provence and organic rice in the Camargue, we evaluated their capacity to remain both viable and environmentally, economically and socially sustainable. After assessing the traditional economic, social and environmental performance of their sustainability, we performed a network analysis to determine the survivability of the systems. The combined use of the traditional pillars of sustainability and...

Environmental and economic consequences of large-scale conversion to organic farming in Croatia
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Znaor, Darko.
Organic farming is a rapidly growing sector both in Croatia and elsewhere. However, there is some concern as to what a widespread adoption of organic farming would bring to society as a whole. The costs and benefits of this development and the associated trade-offs are largely unknown and have hardly been explored. There is a vast body of evidence showing that organic farming in most cases environmentally outperforms non-organic systems. However, organic farming is associated with lower yields and its further expansion might lead to job losses in some other sectors and potentially jeopardise the overall economic strength of a country.    This research presents an attempt to assess the environmental and economic consequences of the large-scale adoption of...

An approach to include soil carbon changes in life cycle assessments
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Petersen, B.M.; Knudsen, Marie Trydeman; Hermansen, J.E.; Halberg, Niels.
Globally, soil carbon sequestration is expected to hold a major potential to mitigate agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. However, the majority of life cycle assessments (LCA) of agricultural products have not included possible changes in soil carbon sequestration. In the present study, a method to estimate carbon sequestration to be included in LCA is suggested and applied to two examples where the inclusion of carbon sequestration is especially relevant: 1) Bioenergy: removal of straw from a Danish soil for energy purposes and 2) Organic versus conventional farming: comparative study of soybean production in China. The suggested approach considers the time of the soil CO2 emissions for the LCA by including the Bern Carbon Cycle Model. Time...

Organic farms as refuges for small mammal biodiversity in  agro ecosystems
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Jensen, Thomas Secher; Hansen, Tine Sussi; Olsen, Kent.
Habitat fragmentation, the process by which relatively  continuous habitats is broken into smaller pieces, occurs in natural systems but is to a high degree also human-induced through landscape use. Fragmentation of the landscape produces a series of habitat patches surrounded by a matrix of different habitats and land use regimes. The major landscape consequences of fragmentation are loss of habitat, reduction in habitat patch size, and increasing isolation of habitat patches. In general, population performance declines in response to habitat loss but size of remaining area and isolation effects is known also to influence the population trend. Small mammals are well suited for examination of population responses to habitat   fragmentation as they have...

Energy input and output of a rural village in China - the cas of the "Beijing Man village" /District of Beijing
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Rahmann, PD Dr. Gerold; Sun, Prof. Zhenjun; Sun, Yongming; Wei, Xiaoming; Shi, Chenlu; Cong, Lin.
The rapid development of the economy has created an increasing demand for energy in China. The limited resources of fossil energy are a risk for the development of China. Sustainable agriculture like organic farming (Green AAA in China) with biomass energy - as done in developed countries like Germany - is an option to reduce these risks. In China, agriculture is not energy efficient, and the intensive farming is not sustainable. The scientific challenge is to develop sustainable farming systems which can fulfill national food security, food safety and considerable renewable energy production without harming the environment, and are acceptable to the people and the economy. The protection and intelligent utilization of resources is the core of rural...

SoilVeg - "Improving soil conservation and resource use in organic cropping systems for vegetable production through introduction and management of Agro-ecological Service Crops”
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Agro-ecological Service Crops (ASC) are introduced in the agro-ecosystems to provide or enhance ecological services, thus promoting the whole soil-plant system equilibrium. ASC introduction and proper management have impact on soil quality and fertility and soil nutrients losses. They also contribute to increase soil C sink potential, to mitigate GHG emissions and influence weeds, diseases and pests occurrence. To avoid competition with the subsequent cash crops, the growth of the interposed ASC is terminated in advance of the cash crop planting. The traditional, most widespread, technique used to terminate the ASC is incorporation as green manure into the soil by tillage. However, since tillage is an energy and labour consuming and soil disturbing...

Vole spatial distribution and dispersal in European organic and conventional farming systems
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Jensen, Thomas Secher; Olsen, Kent.
North European landscapes are highly dominated by agriculture, where small biotopes, e.g. meadows, uncultivated grassland, hedge rows, field boundaries, surroundings of water ponds, only comprise a low percentage. In recent years organic farming has expanded in acreage due to customers increased awareness regarding pesticide and fertilizer use and biodiversity conservation. However, organic farming has changed from an extensive production with small fields, low mechanical impact and high crop diversity towards larger fields, intensive mechanical treatment, lower weed densities and lower field diversity. Still, organic farms could play an important, role in the agricultural landscape as refuges for some small mammal species.    We studied the responses of...

Acute toxicity of birch tar oil on aquatic organisms
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Hagner, Marleena; Penttinen, Olli-Pekka; Pasanen, Tiina; Tiilikkala, Kari; Setälä, Heikki.
Birch tar oil (BTO) is a by-product of processing birch wood in a pyrolysis system. Accumulating evidence suggests the suitability of BTO as a biocide or repellent in terrestrial environments for the control of weeds, insects, molluscs and rodents. Once applied as biocide, BTO may end up, either through run-off or leaching, in aquatic systems and may have adverse effects on non-target organisms. As very little is known about the toxicity of BTO to aquatic organisms, the present study investigated acute toxicity (LC50/EC50) of BTO for eight aquatic organisms. Bioassays with the Asellus aquaticus (crustacean), Lumbriculus variegatus (oligochaeta worm), Daphnia magna (crustacean), Lymnea sp. (mollusc), Lemna minor (vascular plant), Danio rerio (fish),...

Simulating farm income under the current soil management  regime in the mid-hills of Nepal
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Bhatta, G.D.; Neupane, N.
Farmers in the mid-hills of Nepal follow diverse farming  systems. The peri-urban area of this region, where population density is higher, faces several problems in farming. While hills suffer from erosion because they are erodible, the peri-urban areas face the problem of decline in factor productivity, particularly in intensively cultivated farmlands. The present study is concerned with simulating farm income on a regional scale based on soil management practices. Spatial explicit simulation shows that the loss of farm income due to degradation is substantially higher in hills while it is lower in valley bottoms. Strategy formulation and testing in the spatial environment indicates that Geographic Information System is an appropriate methodological tool...

Cellulose pretreatment and dissolution: Selection of solvent and processing conditions
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Ghasemi, Mohammad; Vargas-Aponte, Luz V.; Tsianou, Marina; Alexandridis, Paschalis.
Efficient utilization of biomass is hindered by the recalcitrance to dissolution of semicrystalline cellulose. Pretreatment is often used to alter the structure of cellulosic biomass in order to make cellulose more accessible to solvents and enzymes. The pretreatment involves physical and/or chemical processing which affects the degree of crystallinity and size of biomass particles. We examine here the effects of (i) solvent properties, pretreatment steps and temperature, and (ii) fiber diameter and degree of crystallinity, on the kinetics of cellulose swelling and dissolution. To this end we have combined (a) experimental results on cotton fiber swelling, change in crystallinity and dissolved amount when treated under different solvent conditions, with...

Assessing the role of the research in the transition to organic farming by using the Actor Network Theory: lessons from two case studies in France and Bulgaria
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Quiédeville, Sylvain; Slavova, Petya; Touzard, Jean-Marc; Barjolle, Dominique.
This paper explores the potential of Actor Network Theory (ANT) in understanding how the process of interaction and translation between human and non-human actors contribute to the development, adoption and diffusion of science-based innovations linked to the transition to organic farming. The study relies on two case studies, the French Camargue case covering a range of technical and social innovations, and the case from Bulgaria focusing on the development of a technical and product innovation, i.e. a veterinary product for organic beekeeping. The paper shows the limitations of classical approaches in studying innovations since they underestimate the role of heterogeneous actors, their status, and how they interact with each other. We argue that focusing...

Low Greenhouse Gas Agriculture: Mitigation and Adaptation Potential of Sustainable Farming Systems
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Niggli, U.; Fließbach, A.; Hepperly, P.; Scialabba, N.
Is low greenhouse gas emission (GHG) agriculture possible? Is it, in fact, desirable? In seeking answers to these two basic but extremely relevant questions, this study examines current farming practices, and incorporates scientific databases from longterm field experiments as case studies for low GHG agriculture. Further, the study examines the changes that will be needed for low greenhouse gas agriculture systems to become a reality. It also elucidates the adaptive capacity of agro-ecological farming system approaches, using organic system case studies from the scientific literature.    Each year, agriculture emits 10 to 12 percent of the total estimated GHG emissions, some 5.1 to 6.1 Gt CO2 equivalents per year. Smith, et al. (2007) and Bellarby, et al....

Verdifulle beiter; Kartlegge, prioritere og tilrettelegge
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Bergslid, Ildri (Rose) Kristine; Støbet Lande, Unni.
I følge Meld. St. 9 (2011-2012) skal norsk matproduksjon økes. En av de viktigste forutsetningene for å nå målet om økt matproduksjon er å ta vare på produksjonsgrunnlaget på inn- og utmark. For å nå målet vil en god utnytting av beiteressursen og verdifulle beiter være viktig. Dersom bruk av verdifulle beiter skal sikres med tanke på matproduksjon og tilleggsverdier som blant annet kulturlandskap, er det vår oppfatning at det er nødvendig med en større grad av helhetlig, langsiktig planlegging og tilrettelegging.  1. Kartlegging: Hvilke beiteområder er verdifulle, og hvor er disse lokalisert  2.

Environmental impact assessment of dietary scenarios: a review on methods
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Frehner, Anita; Müller, Adrian; Schader, Christian; de Boer, Imke J.M.; Van Zanten, Hannah H.E.
Dietary patterns have manifold impacts on human health and the environment. Impact assessments are employed to compare impacts of single food items or of diets as a whole, either in their current state or for theoretical scenarios.  However, conclusions from impact assessments focusing on theoretical scenarios are diverse, and occasionally even contradicting. The role of animals and types of production are key aspects of these discussions. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyse the methodological choices that cause these differing conclusions. We find that consideration of food-system-wide consequences of dietary change in the impact assessment, differentiation between land use categories, and production units are central for determining which...

Land transformation to adapt fields to mechanization in perennial crop farming is a common practice which includes land levelling, deep ploughing, stone-breakage and clearing, application of fertilizers and amendments. Manipulation of the natural soil profile along its entire depth can severely disturb the naturally existing chemical  physical,biological and hydrological equilibrium (Costantini and Barbetti, 2008; Costantini et al., 2013). The most common effects of the land transformation are mixing of soil horizons and soil truncation, which result in reduction of soil depth and available water, organic matter depletion, enrichment of calcium carbonate content in the topsoil,imbalance of some element ratio, and decline in the activity and diversity of...

Lagring af fast husdyrgødning forbedrer spredningen, men øger næringsstoftabet
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Hansen, Martin N.
Under lagring af fast husdyrgødning sker der en kraftig omsætning af husdyrgødningen, hvil-ket forøger muligheden for at opnå en mere ensartet spredefordeling ved udbringning. Lagrin-gen forøger dog risikoen for, at en betydelig andel af husdyrgødningens kvælstofindhold tabes ved ammoniakfordampning, denitrifikation og udvaskning. Tabet reducerer gødningsværdien af husdyr¬gødningen og kan medføre uønskede miljøpåvirkninger. Ammoniaktabet i forbindel-se med udbringning er dog lavere fra lagret fast husdyrgødning, hvilket dog ikke modsvarer det forøgede tab af kvælstof, der finder sted under lagring.

Autores: Rasa, Kimmo; Räty, Mari; Nikolenko, Olga; Horn, Rainer; Yli-Halla, Markku; Uusi-Kämppä, Jaana; Pietola, Liisa.
Water repellency index R was measured in a heavy clay and a sandy loam, used as arable land or buffer zone (BZ). Further, effect of management practise and ageing of BZs were studied. Water repellency was proved to be a common phenomenon on these soils. Harvesting and grazing increased water repellency as does ageing.Low water repellency is supposed to prevent preferential flows and provide evenly distributed water infiltration pattern through large soil volume, which favours nutrient retention.

Evaluation of sustainability in farm and wastewater systems – decision theoretical applications
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Refsgaard, Ph. D. Karen.
The position taken in this study is that long run sustainability is a complex and context dependent concept, implying that the estimation of value depends on the issues at stake, the decision actors involved and the criteria being emphasised. Sustainability connects the economic process explicitly to the natural environment and the study elucidates how thermodynamics can supplement, although not substitute economic analyses. Both natural and social systems are multidimensional and changes are difficult to assess in a simple, one-dimensional way. The standard assumptions in many decision methods concerning rationality are thus hardly adequate.     The empirical focus is on agricultural production and wastewater handling and in four papers decision...

Transition to renewable resources - energy balance comparisons of organic and conventional farming systems and potentials for the mitigation of fossil resource use
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Dalgaard, T.
Today, agriculture and food production has major implications for the use of fossil energy and other resources, and a sustainable development implies transition towards new systems, based on renewable resources.  The reduction of external inputs to the farm through efficient management of materials and energy is a central part of the organic principles (IFOAM 2013), and in most countries standards are implemented in the form of nationally adapted, organic farming regulations, with significant implications for the potential energy and matter flows in- and out of the agricultural systems, and thereby the energy balance and the use of renewable resources.  Consequently, it is important to develop new and more resource efficient production systems mitigating...

FAMILY AND ORGANIC FARMING. NEW APPRENTICESHIP TECHNOLOGIES THROUGH M-LEARNING
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Costa, Cristina Amaro; Correia, Paula; Correia, Helena Esteves; Guiné, Raquel; Rodrigues, Pedro; Teixeira, Daniela; Guerra, Luis Touriño; Basile, Salvatori.
Recently, family farming has become a central element in the public debate over its fundamental role in rural areas. Family farming is an important way to ensure agricultural and forestry production, as well as fishing and grazing, managed and run by a family that mostly depends on unpaid family labour, both women and men. From the 570 million farms in the world, over 500 million are family farms. In Portugal, 96% of the farms are of the family-type, which permanent and predominantly use labour belonging to the family.  There are numerous examples in which, through organic farming, family farming can be lead to new heights of success and innovation, with direct impact on the increase in the farm income.   The benefits that may accrue from the adoption of...

Organic Farming as a Commons for Protecting Water Resources / L’agriculture biologique comme bien commun pour protéger la ressource en eau
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Allain, Sophie.
Today, organic farming is also a provider of public goods, promoted by an increasing number of actors. It may be seen as a “commons”, that has to be shaped and developed by new types of collective commitments to study. Two French experiences in that perspective aiming to protect water resources and led by local authorities have been analyzed. The study shows that the local authority behaves as a facilitator of territorial development plan. It acts through two complementary levers, the control of supply (land and ownership) and demand (institutional catering). Whereas environmental efficiency remains to be proved, the projects rely on an increasing collective mobilization and develop according to their ability for budding and territorial rooting. New modes...

Product-Carbon-Footprint von Lebensmitteln in Österreich: biologisch und konventionell im Vergleich
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Theurl, M.C.; Markut, T.; Hörtenhuber, S.; Lindenthal, T.
The aim of this broad conceived study was to analyse greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) of more than 130 foodstuffs from two organic agricultural production methods (Organic premium brand and Organic EU-standard) as compared to conventional farming in Austria. The system boundaries of the life-cycle study ranged from agriculture and its upstream supply chain to the retailer, including changes in soil organic carbon (humus) and land use change. In conclusion, all organic products in both organic methods showed lower GHGE per hectare but also per kg of foodstuff than comparable, conventional products. Therefore, the product carbon footprint (PCF) of organic products was lower throughout the implemented study. Organic dairy products resulted in 10 to 21 % lower...

Research is a key element in the exploration of new pathways in farming systems. Organic farming relies on specific methods and a strict regulation. By design, organic farming harmonizes the environmental and productive dimensions of farming systems. The report covers four sections.   1. Funding of organic farming research is low both at EU and national levels, but at the EU and national levels, statistics on the financial support to the different models of agriculture are neither precise nor comprehensive. This lack of transparency impairs any comparative analysis.  2.

Evaluating basis for a targeted environmental policy: Do the opportunity costs of enhancing biodiversity differ between organic and conventional farms?
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Huhtala, Anni; Sipiläinen, Timo.
For policy making, it is important to identify the types of farms that are most efficient in enhancement of environmental quality, e.g., conservation of biodiversity. Attractiveness of conservation of biodiversity depends crucially on the opportunity costs of conservation. We use a crop diversity index as an indicator of environmental output to compare effciency of conventional and organic crop farms. Non-parametric technical efficiency scores are estimated applying data envelopment analysis on a sample of Finnish crop farms for 1994-2001. We also estimate opportunity costs, or shadow values, of producing crop diversity. According to our results, there is variation in shadow values of crop diversity between the farms and technology adopted. This...

Role of benchmark technology in sustainable value analysis : an application to Finnish dairy farms
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Kuosmanen, Timo; Kuosmanen, Natalia.
Sustainability is a multidimensional concept that entails economic, environmental, and social aspects. The sustainable value (SV) method is one of the most promising attempts to quantify sustainability performance of firms. SV compares performance of a firm to a benchmark, which must be estimated in one way or another. This paper examines alternative parametric and nonparametric methods for estimating the benchmark technology from empirical data. Reviewed methods are applied to an empirical data of 332 Finnish dairy farms. The application reveals four interesting conclusions. First, the greater flexibility of the nonparametric methods is evident from the better empirical fit. Second, negative skewness of the regression residuals of both parametric OLS and...

Carbon sequestration in soils is often mentioned in the discussions about climate changes. In this paper the opportunities for carbon sequestration in Dutch agriculture are discussed at farm and national level. Farm internal carbon sources are already completely used in livestock farming. The effect under arable conditions is limited in time and very limited compared to national CO2 emmission. External sources are scarce. Energy production out of crop residues and manure via biogas installations is possible but th eoverall impact is again very limited. The effect of this biogas pathway on soil organic matter quantity and quality is not yet known. Organic arable farmers do already have a higher soil organic matter contect thean conventional farmers, partly...

Genetically modified (GM) maize containing genes from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) was cultivated on 29% of the total maize production area worldwide in 2009. Most studies to date compare Bt- maize varieties with their near isogenic lines; however, there is little information on the variability of conventional maize breeding lines and how the effects of Bt varieties are ranked within. In our study on the potential risks of Bt- maize varieties, we analyzed tissue quality and compared the effects of ten conventional and GM maize varieties on soil microbiological properties in a replicated climate chamber experiment. All maize varieties were cultivated twice in the same soil microcosm. Shoot yields and soluble C in leaf tissue of Bt...

Frontiers of organic and conventional farming technologies – environmental efficiency, productivity and learning
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
The objective of the first part of the study is to investigate the environmental efficiency of Finnish farms using conventional and organic farming technology. From a policy point of view, a special emphasis is placed on examination of a potential trade-off between conventional production (in)efficiency and environmental (in)efficiency. The trade-offs should be identified to recognize potentially contradictory targets implemented in agricultural-environmental policy. For example, adoption of the most efficient production tecnologies necessitates an increase in a parcel/farm size whereas fragmented agricultural areas may have positive environmental effects. The method employed determines shadow prices for environmentally detrimental outputs such as runoff...

Changing people's behaviour and reducing energy consumption has proved to be more difficult than attitudes or technical possibilities would imply. In this paper we discuss how to intervene the individual decisions that significantly determine energy consumption. When analysing energy-relevant decisions, we have noticed that the scale of energy-relevant decisions varies greatly in accordance with the situation of life. There are once-in-a-lifetime decisions (e.g. choosing the family home) that set the energy consumption, at a relatively fixed level, for years to come.

Four organic dairy farms of a German farm network (www.pilotbetriebe.de) were described in detail with respect to average diets and feedstuff quality, and were compared to the mean results of the 22 organic and 22 conventional farms of the network. At milk yields between 4,469 and 6,769 kg energy corrected milk (ECM) a-1, rations of three farms almost completely depended on grass and grass clover from both grassland and arable land (96-100 %; mean organic approx. 75 %). The fourth farm was similar to the average conventional milk yield and diet (incl. maize silage and a high share of concentrates) hence it largely depended on arable land. Enteric methane (CH4) emissions per kg ECM were higher the more fibre rich feedstuffs were fed and, as expected, the...

Considerando la pluralidad, el análisis integral, la incertidumbre, la búsqueda y análisis de las complejas relaciones a nivel económico, ecológico, sociocultural y político, presentes  en los  procesos de adopción, el análisis de decisión multicriterio, es la metodología más pertinente, ya que considera que el criterio económico no es ni el más importante ni el único a involucrar en este proceso,  que se generan  criterios contradictorios y conflictivos que hay que entender para llegar a soluciones de...

Sustainability assessment of the farmers market. A case study in Tuscany
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Migliorini, Paola; Scaltriti, Bruno.
To assess the sustainability of the agricultural sectors of three farming systems of the Province of Massa (Tuscany, Italy) the analysis was performed on agro-environmental and economic aspects of 5 farms with different management systems: conventional and organic. The agro-environmental sustainability was measured through indicators of the soil, water, air and landscape-biodiversity. Economic indicators was carried out by detecting economic synthesis. The result shows that the analysed farms reach a good level of sustainability with regard to economic aspects and have positive impact on the environment in particular when managed as organic.

Farm Resilience in Organic and Nonorganic Cocoa Farming Systems in Alto Beni, Bolivia
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Jacobi, Johanna; Schneider, Monika; Pillco Mariscal, María; Huber, Stephanie; Weidmann, Simon; Bottazzi, Patrick; Rist, Stephan.
Cocoa production in Alto Beni, Bolivia, is a major source of income and is severely affected by climate change impacts and other stress factors. Resilient farming systems are, thus, important for local families. This study compares indicators for social–ecological resilience in 30 organic and 22 nonorganic cocoa farms of Alto Beni. Organic farms had a higher tree and crop diversity, higher yields and incomes, more social connectedness, and participated in more courses on cocoa cultivation. Resilience was enhanced by local farmers’ organizations, providing organic certification and supporting diversified agroforestry with seedlings and extension, going beyond basic organic certification requirements.

Identification of key factors for reducing N and P leaching from organic crop rotations
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Neumann, Angelika; Torstensson, Gunnar; Aronsson, Helena.
Leaching of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) for different 6-year organic crop rotations was examined in separately tile-drained field plots on two different sites in southwest Sweden. On each site, two different farming systems, one with dairy cows and one without stock, were evaluated to identify parts of the crop rotations with the greatest risks of N and P leaching and to examine the scope for improvement. Although organic farming methods themselves already led to a reduction in nutrient leaching, critical periods in the crop rotation could nevertheless be identified for the two soil types. While P leaching is of major importance on clay soils, sandy soils are strongly susceptible to N leaching. From the present study it could be concluded, that key...

Home range and dispersal of the field vole Microtus agrestis in an organic agro-ecosystem
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Jensen, Thomas Secher; Olsen, Kent; Hansen, Tine Sussi; Vedel-Smith, Christina.
During 2008-2011 field voles (Microtus agrestis) were  studied in a Danish agro-ecosystem in connection with a programme elucidating the role of organic farming as refuge for biodiversity, due to the observed biodiversity losses in conventional farmland. The aim of the study was to   quantify home ranges and movements of voles in order to test a hypothesis that vole populations living in organic farm could colonize unoccupied areas in conventional farms. Voles were radiocollared and tracked until death or disappearance. Results showed that vole home-ranges were   larger during onset of the breeding season than during the height of the breeding season and the non-breeding period. Males had larger home ranges than females. Voles occupying isolated small...

Reduced tillage: Influence on erosion and nutrient losses in a clayey field in southern Finland
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Koskiaho, Jari; Kivisaari, Simo; Vermeulen, Stephan; Kauppila, Raimo; Kallio, Kari; Puustinen, Markku.
Reduced tillage was compared with traditional ploughing in terms of erosion and phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) losses in an experimental field in southern Finland. One part of the field has been ploughed (treatment PF) and the other part harrowed (treatment NPF) every autumn since 1986. Flow volume and water quality data was collected separately from surface runoff and subsurface drainage waters during 1991-1995 (surface runoff volume since 1993). Erosion was higher in PF (on average 234 kg ha-1yr-1 in drainage flow and 479 kg ha-1 yr-1 in surface runoff) than in NPF (158 kg ha-1yr-1 in drainage flow and 160 kg ha-1yr-1 in surface runoff). Total N loss in drainage flow was also higher in PF (7.2 kg ha-1yr-1) than in NPF (4.6 kg ha-1yr-1). Total P losses...

Deliverable 1.3.(b): Conference paper: German consumers’ evaluation of imported organic food products – the importance of geographical distance
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Pedersen, Susanne; Aschemann-Witzel, Jessica; Thøgersen, John.
In Germany, as in several other European countries, the demand for organic food is growing substantially faster than domestic production and supply, which has led to high import shares of many organic foods. Consequently, domestic consumers are presented with a wide variety of organic products from foreign country-of-origins (COOs).   Although there are many studies of consumer preferences for COO on the one hand and organic food on the other, research on COO effects in the context of organic food is scarce. More specifically, there is a lack of research on how consumers evaluate imported organic food products.  To explore regional differences in German consumers’ preferences for imported organic foods, 6 focus groups and 255 in-store interviews were...

Environmental impact of grazed grass/clover patures
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Ledgard, S.; Schils, R.; Eriksen, J.; Luo, J.
Grazed clover/grass pastures are important for animal production systems and the clover component is critical for its contribution to nitrogen (N) inputs via biological fixation of atmospheric N2.  The resource efficiency and environmental emissions for clover/grass pastures can differ from that of N-fertilised grass-only pastures.  Clover N2 fixation uses photosynthetically-fixed carbon, whereas N fertiliser production consumes fossil fuels and has net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Clover has a higher phosphorus (P) requirement than grass and where extra P fertiliser is used for clover/grass pastures the risk of P loss to waterways is greater than for grass-only pastures.  Nitrogen leaching from grazed pasture increases exponentially with increased N...

Comparative Sustainability Assessment of Extensive Beef Cattle Farms
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Escribano, AJ; Gaspar , P; Mesias, FJ; Escribano, M; Pulido, F.
This chapter analyzes the sustainability of beef cattle systems of the Spanish Rangelands known as “Dehesas”. These are traditional systems of the Iberian Peninsula where native herbaceous vegetation and evergreen species of Quercus provide the basis for extensive livestock farms. These systems are considered as outstanding High Nature Value (HNV) farming systems and the most extensive agroforestry systems in Europe according to CORINE Land Cover.   Beef farms in this area show low stocking rates and a small dependence on foodstuff purchases.However, certain changes have occurred in the last decadesdue to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). On the one hand, some farms have become more intensified, as a way to maximize the revenues from the CAP subsidies....

Is organic farming inefficient, or are indicators of economic performance of agriculture incomplete?
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Huhtala, Anni.
Organic farming is expected to alleviate the environmental burden of agriculture, since it rules out the use of chemicals such as synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides. However, organic farming technology may turn out to be less efficient when evaluated by conventional productivity measures that are less informative regarding environmental efficiency. We derive a framework for a combination of more comprehensive indicators reflecting whether organic farming increases sustainability in agriculture and how much of the total agricultural value added is produced at the expense of environmental deterioration. We show that it is important to separate flow and stock effects of pollution so that aggregate measurement is consistent with conventional...

How does consumer behaviour change? Examples from energy conservation
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Heiskanen, Eva; Johnson, Mikael; Saastamoinen, Mika; Vadovics, Edina.
A global consumer society is rapidly overshooting ecological limits, there is a dire need to find new ways to change consumer behaviour. Yet history knows few succesful examples of reducing consumption. However, since the 1970s, there is a long legacy of work on energy conservation, which we use to identify three key factors that influence consumer behaviour: consumer awareness, contextual factors and community. Drawing on evidence from a European research project called CHANGING BEHAVIOUR, we discuss where previous efforts to change energy behaviour have succeeded in making a difference. We highlight ways in which sociotechnical systems shaping consumption can be changed and emerging ways in which consumers can join forces to achieve greater power and...

Microbially-mediated P fluxes in calcareous soils as a function of water-extractable phosphate
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Schneider, Kimberly D.; Voroney, R. Paul; Lynch, Derek H.; Oberson, Astrid; Frossard, Emmanuel; Bünemann, Else K.
Soil phosphorus (P) tests are designed to indicate plant-available inorganic orthophosphate (Pi), but fail to account for Pi that may become available through organic phosphorus (Po) mineralization. This P source may be especially important in soils with low concentrations of solution and labile Pi. We assessed gross Po mineralization and immobilization using labeling with 33P in four calcareous Alfisols with varying concentrations of Olsen soil test P that were collected from forage fields of dairy farms in Ontario, Canada. Rapid microbial 33P uptake during incubation was found for the soils with the lowest available Pi as indicated by both Olsen soil test P and water-extractable Pi. The tracer incorporation into microbial P after 8 days ranged from 7 to...

Further Development of Methodologies for Sustainability Assessment and Monitoring in Organic/Ecological Agriculture
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Padel, Susanne; Gerrard, Catherine L; Smith, Laurence; Schader, Christian; Baumgart, Lukas; Stolze, Matthias; Pearce, Bruce.
In recent years there has been a great deal of interest in assessing the sustainability of agriculture in terms of its social, environmental and economic impact and a number of indicators and tools are used. Measurements take place at the farm or product level and indicators can be outcome related e.g. number of butterfly species present, or management related e.g. percentage of fields with margins growing wildflowers to attract butterflies.     Given its underlying ethos, the organic/ecological agriculture sector should aim to be at the forefront of sustainability. The development of assessment approaches and recent discussions within the movement have identified continuous improvement towards best practice in sustainability to be one of the important...

The Contribution of Organic Livestock to Sustainable Rural Development in Sensitive Areas
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Escribano, AJ; Gaspar , P; Mesias, FJ; Escribano, M.
Organic production may contribute positively to rural development. However, there is a gap of knowledge with regard to the livestock sector that the present work is aimed at filling by means of a multidisciplinary and participatory approach. The results suggest that ‘fully organic’ holdings (organic farms that sell products as organic) have the highest potential to contribute to the rural development in the area under study. Nevertheless, its implementation requires higher levels of education and implies higher costs. Due to these difficulties, public subsidies should support such production systems. Moreover, systems with low productivity but high environmental services should be also supported, such as those extensive (either conventional or organic).

Valuing leftover streams through livestock; the impact of  livestock system and productivity level
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: van Hal, Ollie; de Boer, Imke J.M.; Schader, Christian; Müller, Adrian; Gerrits, Walter J.J.; de Vries, Sonja; Van Zanten, Hannah H.E.
While the role of livestock in sustainable food systems is heavily debated, recent studies show that livestock can contribute to global nutrition security by converting leftover streams – products humans cannot or do not want to eat - into animal-source food (ASF). Where these studies clearly underpin livestock’s role in global food security, the current study aims to identify which combination of livestock systems, differing in production level, can optimally convert leftover streams into protein. To this end, we developed an optimization model containing a variety of livestock systems (pigs, dairy cattle, beef cattle, laying hens and broilers), differing in production level (low, mid and high), to enable better utilization of the various (low quality)...

This study was part of a three-year (2004-2007) project entitled "Assessment and reduction of heavy metal inputs into Finnish agro-ecosystems" that was funded by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in Finland. The main aim of this study was to estimate field balances of trace elements at the farm level on typical crop and dairy farms in Finland in 2004.    Field balances estimated at the farm level showed that the balances of the harmful heavy metals, Cd and Hg, were often slightly positive leading in accumulation of these metals into the soil on the crop and dairy farms. Selenium indicated a highly positive balance resulting in enrichment of this element in the soil in both farming systems. Also, the Cu and Zn balances were positive on the dairy...

Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Conventional, Agri-Environmental Scheme, and Organic Irish Suckler-Beef Units
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Casey, J. W.; Holden, N.M.
The problems of overproduction within the European Union countries and the environmental impact of agriculture have lead to the introduction of schemes that aim to reduce both. Beef (Bos taurus) production forms a large component of the Irish agricultural industry and accounts for more than one quarter of agricultural economic output. Recently, the European CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) has been re-evaluated to include supplementary measures that encompass the environmental role of agriculture rather than just the production role. A life cycle assessment (LCA) method was adopted to estimate emissions per kilogram of CO2 equivalent per kilogram of live weight (LW) leaving the farm gate per annum (kg CO2 kg−1 LW yr−1) and per hectare (kg CO2 ha−1 yr−1)....

Cultural and Biological Determinants in the Evaluation of Urban Green Spaces
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Home, Robert; Bauer, Nicole; Hunziker, Marcel.
Dramatically increasing urbanization is observable worldwide and brings pressure on space within urban areas as the built environment intensifies.  Considerable evidence suggests that contact with nature is important for city dwellers, although it is not known whether residents’ appreciation of the forms of urban green spaces is constant across different contexts. More specifically, it has not yet been shown whether our appreciation of nature is innate and inherently human, is  cultural and something that we learn, or is a mixture of both. This article describes an exploratory study consisting of 17 interviews carried out in Zurich, Switzerland. Kelly’s repertory grid technique is used to identify preferred urban landscapes, which were contrasted with...

A comparison of energy use in organic and conventional agriculture in Spain
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Alonso, Antonio M.; González, Rodrigo; Foraster, Laia; Guzmán, Gloria I.; García, Roberto.
The current situation of worldwide concern over the emission of greenhouse gases and its effect on the climate demands an evaluation, from the perspective of energy efficiency and more specifically of non-renewable energy sources, of tendencies for change in the management of agricultural systems that have arisen in recent years. This article uses energy balances to evaluate the contribution of organic agriculture to the increase in the energy efficiency of Spanish agriculture. The results show the higher nonrenewable energy efficiency (NREE) and the lower use of nonrenewable energy (NRE) in organic systems compared with conventional ones. Nevertheless, agricultural systems in general could still improve their energy efficiency.

Ergebnisse zur Anwendbarkeit der neuen VDLUFA-Methode für die Humusbilanzierung im ökologischen Landbau
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Brock, Christopher; Leithold, Günter.
Recently a revised version of the German standard method for humus balancing according to VDLUFA has been published. In contrast to the preceeding version, the method now shall be applicable not only in conventional, but also organic farming systems. In this contribution, we try to define the scope of the three levels of organic matter demand parameters for crops applied in the method, as an applicable definition is missing in the VDLUFA method description. We do so by calculating crop uptake of mineralized humus-N from the balance parameters, and by linking N uptake to yield levels of crops. Further, we calculate humus balances for farming system treatments in the Organic Arable Farming Experiment Gladbacherhof (Villmar,Germany) and test the ability of...

How to include on-farm biodiversity in LCA on food?
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Knudsen, Marie Trydeman; Halberg, Niels.
Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) of food and agriculture generally include potential effects on global warming, eutrophication, ecotoxocity and acidification some of which again affect biodiversity. However, LCA most often does not include specific indicators of the product’s or agricultural system’s impact (negative or positive) on biodiversity. Using LCA methodology on agricultural products makes it highly relevant to assess the impacts of land use. Some LCA’s include a simple category of land use. This is sometimes interpreted as “nature occupation”. However, if this is the only impact category addressing land use related biodiversity, the LCA cannot distinguish between different forms of agricultural systems, which may differ in their biodiversity impact...

Outside the breeding season, densities of raptors (in autumn and in winter), seed-eating birds (in autumn) and insect-eating birds (in autumn) were significantly higher on organic than on conventional plots. Organic fields more often held stubbles and/or green vegetation in the non-breeding season. On organic farms, carnivorous birds had significantly higher densities both on fields with stubbles and green vegetation. Granivorous birds had significantly higher densities on stubble fields and insectivorous birds had higher densities on fields covered by green vegetation. There was a signifi-cant positive correlation between density of seed mass and density of granivorous birds.

Økologisk landbruk - matforsyning, klima og miljø
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Hansen, Sissel.
Er økologisk landbruk en klima- og miljøversting og en trussel mot matvaresikkerheten vår fordi avlingene i økologisk landbruk gjerne er lavere enn ved konvensjonell og mer intensiv drift? Noen hevder at intensivt landbruk gir høyere avkastning per arealenhet, og at dette reduserer behovet for å rydde mer skog for å produsere samme mengde mat. Sammenlignet med økologisk drift vil det dermed gi reduserte CO2-utslipp og større biologisk mangfold på grunn av redusert avskoging.

The devil is the detail: finding meaning indicators of nutrient management on organic and low-input farms
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Padel, Susanne; Gerrard, Catherine L; Leach, Katharine; Smith, Laurence G; Topp, C F E; Watson, Christine.
In low-input and organic systems, nutrient management is key to ensuring the short-term productivity and the longer-term sustainability of the farming system. Farm-gate nutrient budgets/balances calculate the inputs of nutrients to, and outputs from a system.  Hence, they can be used to assess the nutrient use efficiency. Nutrient balances of 69 organic and low-input dairy farms in seven European countries were carried out using a sustainability assessment tool. The tool assesses each individual farm against a number of indicators. Part of the assessment of nutrient management is the calculation of an N,P,K budget, based on physical inputs and outputs for each enterprise.  The results show considerable variation in the calculated N,P,K balances. The paper...

The aims of this study were to determine the phytotoxicity of stored rapeseed (Brassica rapa) oil (RSO) and rapeseed oil methyl ester (RME) after "spill like" contamination on the growth of barley (Hordeum vulgare) and the biodegradability of these substances in OECD 301F test conditions and in ground water. Rapeseed oil and rapeseed oil methyl ester were both stored for a period of time and their fuel characteristics (e.g. acid number) had changed from those set by the fuel standards and are considered to have an effect on its biodegradation. The phytotoxicity was tested using two different types of barley cultivars: ‘Saana’ and ‘Vilde’. The phytotoxic effect on the barley varieties was determined, after the growth season, by measuring the total biomass...

The occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the environment was frequently reported and  possible adverse effects on non-target organisms are of increasing concern. The  presence of veterinary drugs in manure may cause largely unknown ecotoxicological  effects. Organic animal health management puts emphasis rather on prevention than  on treatment. This could be an approach to develop a more sustainable production  system. The current health situation in organic farming still requires veterinary drugs.  Investigating the extent of the use and the toxic potential of pharmaceuticals could  demonstrate that organic farming is the less polluting system.

Agriculture as surface water polluter in the Danube River Basin and Central and Eastern Europe
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Znaor, Darko; Vollenbroek, Johan; Csikos, Imre.
More than a half of the territory of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is used for agricultural activities and agriculture represents an important economic activity of the region. But at the same time, agriculture in CEE is also a serious source of environmental degradations/pollution among which loss of biodiversity, soil and water ones seem to be most obvious. Moreover, regarding the pollution of water resources, particularly the surface water in CEE, it has been shown by several studies that agriculture represents major, much more serious source of pollution than any other sector (e.g. industry, transport, population, etc.). Among these studies, the results from the recent Danube Environmental Integrated Study, done within the framework of the UNDP...

Conservation Agriculture in Organic Farming Motivations of European Farmers and Diversity of Practices
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Casagrande, Marion; Peigné, Joséphine.
One of the tasks of the TILMAN-Org project is to assess organic farmers' experiences and perceptions about reduced tillage and green manures. We carried out a survey with around 150 organic farmers that applied at least two out of the 3 following techniques: no tillage techniques, reduced tillage techniques and green manure techniques in 8 partner countries (Austria, Belgium, Estonia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and UK). The questionnaire addressed the motivations and major problems when adopting each conservation technique. We also collected data on the detailed crop management of one winter and one spring crop per farm (especially tillage and green manure management). The objectives of the data analysis are to: (i) identify farmers’...

Institutional consumers' views of GHG emission reduction by optional milk systems within sustainability frame
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Mikkola, Minna; Risku-Norja, Helmi.
An on-going study examines how Green House Gas (GHG) emission information could be  used to support consumption driven changes in production, leading to reduction of GHG emissions in  agriculture. This paper presents a pre-study, looking for discursive grounds by which institutional  consumers make choices when confronted with the knowledge of GHG emission characteristics of five  optional milk systems. The milk systems to be compared in terms of agricultural GHG emissions were  (Option I) conventional milk system based on imported soy protein feed, (Option II) conventional milk  system using domestic protein source and (Option III) organic milk system, as well as vegetable milk  systems based on (Option IV) imported soy and (Option V) domestic oat.

MVJ-græs, guldrandet aftale med lurende katastrofer?
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Hansen, Lisbeth F.
„Læg dine marker ud med græs i fem år, og få op til 4.200 kr./ha i tilskud + hektartilskud“. Sådan lød det fristende tilbud fra amterne i årene 2003 og 2004 til landbrugere med jord i de særligt følsomme landbrugsområder (SFL-områder). Mange lod sig friste og ekstensiverede dele af eller hele deres bedrift. Også en del økologer søgte og fik tilsagn om tilskud til miljøvenlig drift af græs. I de såkaldte MVJ-aftaler, som blev indgået med de enkelte amter, er det fastlagt hvornår arealerne må slættes, afpudses og afgræsses og med hvilken intensitet. Arealerne må desuden hverken gødes eller sprøjtes i perioden tilsagnet løber.

The environmental dimension of multifunctionality: economic analysis and implications for policy design
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Lankoski, Jussi.
In this study an analytical model was developed, and then empirical results were obtained by calibrating the model to Finnish data. First, the farmer's private optimim was compared to the social optimum where nutrient runoffs, landscape diversity, and agrobiodiversity were valuated at their social marginal values. Next, solutions were developed for the first-best differentiated policy instruments and the second-best uniform and semi-uniform policy instruments. Finally, farm income support measures and environmental cross-compliance schemes were analysed.

Interrelation of food supply, environment and security - a life cycle assessment approach
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Kurppa, Sirpa.
LCA is giving us a profile of the categorised environmental impacts of a product or  service through the whole production chain or chain of service activities. How  comprehensive this is, depends on the system boundaries of the particular  assessment. And at its best, LCA is not only restricted to principal system but covers  or makes linkages to periferic systems of production of process inputs (for instance  energy) and further processing of secondary or waste based products. LCA is a good  tool for development of zero-waste or carbon neutral systems. LCA is a highly  potential tool in benchmarking between various activity areas of society or economy  (Nissinen et al 2007), and in a few years it will be developed as a tool to benchmark  different food...

During intensificaton of agriculture plant diversity decreased parallel with the decline of wildbee species richness. But wildbees are important pollinators for different crops and wild plants. Farming intensity and landscape infrastructure are key-drivers altering  species composition and population densities of wildbees. We found, that extensive meadows and pastures, herbaceous strips beside hedgerows, flowering stripes and organic cereal fields can be valuable habitats for wildbees, also for endangered and oligolectic ones. The habitat-types included various plant species and landscape elements that are meaningful for many wildbee species.

ALTERNATIVER TIL TORV SOM SUBSTRAT I OPPALSJORD
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: McKinnon, Kirsty.
Uttak og bruk av torv er knyttet til flere miljømessige utfordringer og det er ønskelig å begrense bruken. Myndigheter i noen land har laget strategier for begrensning eller utfasing av bruk og innenfor økologisk landbruk, både internasjonalt og nasjonalt er det tatt initiativ for å fase ut torv. Regelverksutvalget for økologisk landbruk har bedt om en utredning om alternativer til torv i oppalsmedier. Det er utført betydelig forskning på området der det viser seg at ulike substrater kan egne seg som erstatning for torv.  Det er behov for mer forskning på området og det anbefales nært samarbeid med veksthusnæringen.

From organic principles to wider application and a resilient agriculture: a reflections paper
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Knickel, Karlheinz.
Planetary boundaries are exceeded in many ways and major transformations are needed in economic systems and lifestyles - in particular in the industrialized world. The declining resources of critical input factors and exceeding of the buffer capacity of natural systems will in particular affect contemporary industrialized, high-input-high-output agriculture.  Can organic farming principles be applied more widely and help to make agricultural systems more resilient? How relevant are they to the challenges the agricultural sector faces today? If relevant and effective, why are they not more widely applied?   In this paper contemporary challenges of conventional agriculture are related to organic farming principles and practices. In the concluding section...

No-till agriculture – a climate smart solution?
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Gattinger, Andreas; Jawtusch, Julia; Müller, Adrian; Mäder, Paul.
No-tillage farming systems or no-till, as an aspect of conservation farming, are actively promoted by international research and development organizations to conserve soils and by this, ensure food security, biodiversity and water conservation. Instead of tilling before seeding, seeds are deposited directly into untilled soil by opening a narrow slot trench or band. Today, it is also seen as mitigation and adaptation option and thus being promoted as a measure to be supported under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). There are even many voices advocating no-till to benefit from any future and existing carbon market. But: Is no-till the solution to reduce the hunger in the world and to mitigate climate change? It has been...

Multifunctional agriculture: The effect of non-public goods on socially optimal policies
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Ollikainen, Markku; Lankoski, Jussi.
We develop a general framework for multifunctional agriculture, which includes not only public goods but also rural viability as a non-public good item. We contribute to the literaure in two ways. First, we demonstrate how the broader definition of multifunctional agriculture differs from the agri-environmental multifunctionality, and how agri-environmental policy should be reformed to include these aspects. We show that rural viability entails adjusting fertilizer tax and buffer strip subsidy below their first-best Pigouvian levels to reflect the direct and indirect employment effects of agricultural production. Moreover, we show that when non-agricultural land use is present, an additional, non-agricultural instrument is needed to adjust the amount of...

Soil phoD and phoX alkaline phosphatase gene diversity responds to multiple environmental factors
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Ragot, Sabine A.; Kertesz, Michael A.; Mészáros, Éva; Frossard, Emmanuel; Bünemann, Else K.
Alkaline phosphatases such as PhoD and PhoX are important in organic phosphorus cycling in soil. We identified the key organisms harboring the phoD and phoX genes in soil and explored the relationships between environmental factors and the phoD- and phoX-harboring community structures across three land uses located in arid to temperate climates on two continents using 454-sequencing. phoD was investigated using recently published primers, and new primers were designed to study phoX in soil. phoD was found in 1 archaeal, 13 bacterial and 2 fungal phyla, and phoX in 1 archaeal and 16 bacterial phyla. Dominant phoD-harboring phyla were Actinobacteria, Cyanobacteria, Deinococcus-Thermus, Firmicutes, Gemmatimonadetes, Planctomycetes and Proteobacteria, while...

How can veterinary epidemiology contribute to sustainable animal production?
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Emanuelson, Ulf.
Sustainable animal production is characterised by conservation of resources, environmental care, good animal health and welfare, and should agree with consumer demand and be profitable for the producer. The relative importance of most of these characteristics - and how they are realised in practise - depends strongly on the situation at hand, due for instance to social and political conditions. However, irrespective of differences in local conditions with respect to available resources - waste management etc - good animal health should always be an integrated part of a sustainable animal production, both from the animal perspective and from the human health perspective. Epidemiology is the study of the distribution of diseases in populations and of risk...

Ackerwildkrautschutz in Luxemburg durch Schutzäcker,  Feldflorareservate und Ökologische Landwirtschaft
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Lenerz, Maximilian; Elsen, T.; Schneider, Simone.
Arable plants are becoming increasingly rare in today's cultural landscape and belong to the most endangered plant species in Luxemburg. Their main threat is the intensification of agriculture, where high usage of pesticides and fertilizer, better seed cleaning methods and the abandonment of marginal yield sites all negatively affect arable plant communities. Another factor is the loss of (potential) habitat due to the expansion of settlements and subsequent loss of agricultural lands. The dire situation calls for urgent action. Within the framework of the bachelor thesis of the first author, a concept for the protection of arable plants in Luxembourg was developed. The  following article describes and discusses the four most promising applied approaches...

Impact of different Agricultural Systems and Patterns of Consumption on Greenhouse-Gas Emissions in Austria
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Freyer, B.; Weik, S.
Agricultural systems as well as consumer patterns influence the green house gas emissions. Therefore, we analysed different farming systems, consumption patterns and seasonal oriented food consumption. Whereas conventional production and the current meat oriented nutrition patterns lead to high green house gas emissions, there is a tremendous reduction potential, if products are organically produced and if there is a shift to vegetarian-based diets.. Nevertheless, there is a need for research in terms of data quality, and a differentiation of farming systems as well as nutrition patterns.

Vanwege de eindigheid van de wereldvoorraad makkelijk winbaar fossiel fosfor (P) en om fosforemissies uit (overbemeste) landbouwgronden naar grond- en oppervlaktewater te verminderen, is het Nederlandse landbouwbeleid gericht op het verlagen van fosforbemesting. Het wordt steeds belangrijker om het fosfor dat in de bodem aanwezig is, te benutten. Dit project heeft als doel te onderzoeken hoe dit kan en hoe dit gekwantificeerd kan worden. Er wordt ingegaan op de invloed van bemesting op de bodemfosfortoestand en de mogelijke rol van organisch fosfor in de fosforvoorziening van het gewas. Daarnaast wordt gekeken naar biologische bedrijven die telen met lage aanvoer van fosfor en lage bodemfosforstatus. Deze rapportage betreft de projectjaren 2012 en 2013.

Building Farm Resilience in a Changing Climate: Challenges, Potentials, and Ways Forward for Smallholder Cocoa Production in Bolivia
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Jacobi, Johanna; Bottazzi, Patrick; Pillco, Maria Isabel; Schneider, Monika; Rist, Stephan.
Migration from the Bolivian Altiplano to the Amazonian lowlands poses a number of challenges related to climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction. Alto Beni, located in the Bolivian Yungas at the interface between two altitudinal zones, is a critical area in this respect. Unsustainable land use practices are leading to soil erosion, shallow landslides, as well as forest and biodiversity loss. Settlers from the Altiplano see themselves confronted with an ecosystem that does not support the agricultural systems they were once used to. Soil degradation and government incentives have promoted migration further into the rainforest, creating pressure on local indigenous groups and biodiversity. The best-suited land use system for the fragile soils...

It has been suggested that conversion to organic farming contributes to soil carbon sequestration, but until now a comprehensive quantitative assessment has been lacking. Therefore, datasets from 74 studies from pairwise comparisons of organic vs. nonorganic farming systems were subjected to metaanalysis to identify differences in soil organic carbon (SOC). We found significant differences and higher values for organically farmed soils of 0.18±0.06% points (mean ± 95% confidence interval) for SOC concentrations, 3.50 ± 1.08 Mg C ha−1 for stocks, and 0.45 ± 0.21 Mg C ha−1 y−1 for sequestration rates compared with nonorganic management. Metaregression did not deliver clear results on drivers, but differences in external C inputs and crop rotations seemed...

Ecological economics and organic farming
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Kledal, Paul Rye; Kjeldsen, Chris; Refsgaard, Karen; Söderbaum, Peter.
Ecological economics (EE) is proposed as an approach to decision making and planning in organic farming. It is argued that EE is better suited for this task than the conventional neoclassical economy approach. The contribution that EE can make to the organic farming movement is apparent on the ontological level, through its focus on socio-economic systems as nested subsystems of the ecosystem. In addition, EE’s stance on the issues of allocation, distribution and scale seems to constitute a more appropriate conceptualization about the interaction between socio-economic systems and the environment, which is more closely aligned to the principal aims of the organic farming movement. The concepts of time and scale are used as examples of how EE, with input...

Effects on herbicides on hedgerow biodiversity
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Strandberg, Beate; Christensen, Kimmie K.
Low dosages of herbicides may reduce the number of flowers on non-target plants. Effect of herbicides on flowering and on pollen and nectar production are relevant end-points for effect assessment on non-target species. Herbicides have the potential to reduce the number of flowers in hedgerow vegetation and thereby also decrease the availability of pollen, nectar and seeds that are important food for many insects and birds. The biodiversity of hedgerow bottom vegetation is lower at conventional than at organic farms, presumably as a consequence of the herbicide use.

Nye energiløsninger og herunder alternative brændstoffer beror på forskning og udvikling, og dermed usikkerheder og risici for investorer og øvrige aktører. Men det er vigtigt at pointere, at udviklingen af biobrændstofteknologier bør betragtes som gennembrud for øget brug af biomasse til energiformål og materialer. Biobrændstofferne er blot nogle af de første produkter der kan afsættes kommercielt, og i et vist omfang.   Betydelige mængder af landbrugets halmressourcer afsættes allerede i dag til kraftvarmeværker bl.a. som følge af biomasseaftalen der tilskynder kraftvarmeværker at øge anvendelsen af biomasse.

Autores: Mattei, Lauro.
O fenômeno da pluriatividade passou a ser mais estudado no Brasil na década de 1990, quando foram publicados trabalhos em todas as regiões do país. Um dos elementos centrais desta discussão diz respeito à unidade de análise relevante para se analisar a complexidade desse fenômeno. Em consonância com a literatura internacional, este artigo defende a idéia de que a família, e não a unidade de produção, deve ser o elemento balizador de estudos sobre a pluriatividade na agricultura familiar brasileira.

Economic sustainability and risk efficiency of organic versus conventional cropping systems
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Lein, G; Hardaker, J B; Flaten, O.
Environmental, social and economic attributes are important for the sustainability of a farming system. Resilience is also important yet has seldom been directly considered in evaluations of economic sustainability. In economic terms, resilience has to do with the capacity of the farm business to survive various risks and other shocks. A whole-farm stochastic simulation model over a six-year planning horizon was used to analyse organic and conventional cropping systems using a model of a representative farm in Eastern Norway. The relative economic sustainability of alternative systems under changing assumptions about future technology and price regimes was examined in terms of financial survival to the end of the planning period. The same alternatives were...

Economic profitability of organic vs. conventional cotton-based production systems in a long-term field trial in India
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Forster, D.; Andres, C.; Verma, R.; Zundel, C.; Messmer, M.; Mäder, P.
The debate on the relative benefits of conventional and organic farming systems is more topical than ever. The achievements of conventional high-input agriculture were largely brought about at the cost of deteriorating soil fertility; furthermore, they were based to a large extent on fossil fuels. Developing more sustainable farming practices on a large scale is of utmost importance.  However, information about the performance of agricultural production systems under organic and conventional management in tropical and subtropical regions is largely lacking. This study aimed to assess agronomic and economic data from a long-term farming systems comparison trial under semi-arid conditions in central India.

Agricultural intensification (AI) negatively affects biodiversity due to e.g. high-input farming. Organic farming can counteract this negative trend. Here, we studied  movement behavior of the European brown hare (Lepus europaeus), which frequently occurs in agricultural landscapes but also suffers from AI with declining population densities. We measured home range sizes in relation to local field management (organic vs. conventional farming) in Upper Bavarian, Germany. Results showed that  home ranges sizes decreased with increasing amount of organically managed area, while there was no relationship between conventional farmed area and hares’  movement behavior. Higher resource availability in organic fields decrease home range sizes and may therefore...

IMPROVING NITROGEN MANAGEMENT IN REDUCED TILLAGE SYSTEMS BY USE OF GREEN MANURES AND APPROPRIATE OFF-FARM INPUTS: REUSLTS OF TILMAN-ORG. TILMAN-ORG SESSION.
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Rietberg, P.I.; Burgt, G.J.H.M.; Tein, Berit; Luik, Anne; Sans, F. Xavier.
Abstract  The TILMAN-project aims to develop robust and sustainable arable crop production systems via the introduction of reduced tillage techniques combined with a strategic use of green manures in organic crop rotations, while maintaining and improving soil quality and crop productivity parameters. The adoption of reduced tillage and/or green manures strongly affects nitrogen quantity and availability during the vegetative period and throughout the crop rotation. Specifically, changing soil and water conditions may affect the availability pattern of nitrogen, notably in spring. We present aggregated data of several long- and medium-term European experimental field studies in which green manures including cut-and-carry-fertilizers, and reduced tillage...

Emissions of nitrous oxide from arable organic and conventional cropping systems on two soil types
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Chirinda, N.; Carter, M.S; Albert, K.R.; Ambus, P.; Olesen, J.E.; Porter, J.R.; Petersen, S.O.
Conventional cropping systems rely on targeted short-term fertility management, whereas organic systems depend, in part, on long-term increase in soil fertility as determined by crop rotation and management. Such differences influence soil nitrogen (N) cycling and availability through the year. The main objective of this study was to compare nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from soil under winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) within three organic and one conventional cropping system that differed in type of fertilizer, presence of catch crops and proportion of N2-fixing crops. The study was replicated in two identical long-term crop rotation experiments on sandy loam soils under different climatic conditions in Denmark (Flakkebjerg–eastern Denmark and...

There is a need for valid and representative data regarding the production, resource use and emissions from typical farming systems in Denmark for analysis of the environmental impact of different systems and as input to product oriented analyses such as Life Cycle Assess-ments of basic food items. An inventory of 31 farm types was constructed on the basis of 2138 farm accounts from 1999 selected and weighted to be representative for the Danish farming sector. The farm accounts were grouped according to the major soil types, the num-ber of standard working hours, the most important enterprise (dairy, pig, different cash crops) and the stocking rate (livestock units per hectare). For each group the account data on the average inputs and outputs, land use...

Autores: Böhler, Daniel; Dierauer, Hansueli; Krauss, Maike; Schmid, Nathaniel; Clerc, Maurice; Locher, Michael.
Die wendende Bodenbearbeitung mit dem Pflug ist im biologischen und im konventionellen Ackerbau nach wie vor stark verbreitet. Im Biolandbau gilt der Pflug oft als Ersatz für die fehlenden Herbizide. Durch die wendende Bodenbearbeitung werden Ernterückstände und Samen in die Pflugtiefe von ca. 20 cm vergraben. Das hindert die Samen an der Keimung. Gepflügte Böden trocknen schneller ab. Das Zeitfenster für die Aussaat wird dadurch grösser. Auch der Start der Kulturen ist durch die schnell einsetzende Mineralisierung am besten. Der Pflug hat neben seinen vielen Vorteilen aber auch gewichtige Nachteile, die oft vergessen gehen. Er fördert den Humusabbau, die Regenwürmer mit ihren Röhrensystemen werden zerstört, die Erosionsgefahr steigt, Verdichtungen im...

Issues of scale for environmental indicators
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Stein, A.; Riley, J.; Halberg, N.
The value of environmental indicators largely depends upon the spatial and temporal scale that they represent. Environmental indicators are dependent upon data availability and also upon the scale for which statements are required. As these may not match, changes in scales may be necessary. In this paper a geostatistical approach to analyse quantitative environmental indicators has been used. Scales, defined in terms of resolution and procedures, are presented to translate data from one scale to another: upscaling to change from high resolution data towards a low resolution, and downscaling for the inverse process. The study is illustrated with three environmental indicators. The first concerns heavy metals in the environment, where the zinc content is...

Implications of and possible responses to climate change
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Kahiluoto, Helena; Rötter, Reimund.
Climate change is expected to worsen food insecurity and seriously undermines rural development prospects. It makes it harder to achieve the Millenium Development Goals and ensure a sustainable future beyond 2015. Findings from the recent 4th assessment report of IPCC, Working Group II indicate that already towards 2050 with respect to food crops yield losses between 10 and 30 % can be expected as compared to current conditions in large parts of Africa, including Western, Eastern and southern Africa. Climate change is likely to increase disparities between developed and the developing world, while many uncertainties remain. It is, for instance, estimated that developing countries would need to bear 75-80 % of the costs of damages caused by a changing...

Conceptual and Practical Aspects of Climate Change Mitigation Through Agriculture: Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Indreasing Soil Carbon Sequestration
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Müller, Adrian; Gattinger, Andreas.
Mitigation in agriculture needs to be based on two pillars:  - Technically, nitrogen inputs should be reduced, organic fertilizers should replace synthetic fertilizers and storage losses should be minimized. Integrated systems with closed, efficient nutrient cycles should be the order of the day in the future.  - socially, food wastage should be minimized an meat consumption reduced.

Structural development in Danish agriculture and its implications for farmland nature
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Levin, Gregor; Langer, Vibeke; Frederiksen, Pia.
During the last decades, development of Danish agriculture was characterised by concentration of land on fewer and larger farms and consequently increasing farm sizes. On basis of three case studies supplemented by national data we explore relationships between farm size change and farmland nature in terms of field sizes and hedgerow densities. Data point to a significant relationship between farm enlargement and increases in mean field sizes. Furthermore, mean field size is negatively related to densities of hedgerows. For the coming decades, scenarios for Danish agriculture point to a continued increase in farm sizes. We argue for an increased focus on the effects of a continued scale enlargement on farmland nature in terms of changes in field size...

Estimation of environmental impact of conversion to organic agriculture   in Hamburg using the Life-Cycle-Assessment method
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Haas, Guido; Geier, Uwe; Frieben, Bettina; Köpke, Ulrich.
Commissioned by the Ministry of Environment of Hamburg, Germany, an environmental impact assessment using the Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) method was carried out during 1995 and 1996. In a scenario, the effect of a complete transition from conventional to organic agriculture of about 5,674 ha and 4,669 livestock units in a rural part of Hamburg was investigated using 9 impact categories. The study was based on the analysis of 15 farms representative of the farms in the region, mainly dairy and beef cattle farms with some cash crops, in close cooperation with local advisers and other experts. Several workshops were held to integrate the local public, in particular the experts and administrative staff related to farming and nature protection.   It was...

Accumulation of Dioxins and PCB in House Fly larvae (Musca domestica) reared in poultry manure and used in feed for organic laying hens
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Nordentoft, Steen; Cederberg, Tommy Licht; Fischer, Christian Holst; Bjerrum, Lotte.
Eggs from free range hens have frequently higher content of dioxins and PCB. As recycling manure may concentrate contaminants in the larvae, we tested whether larvae reared in poultry manure accumulated dioxins and PCB, and if feeding laying hens with these larvae would increase the levels of dioxins and PCB in the hen eggs.

Small‐scale distribution of copper in a Technosol horizon  studied by nano‐scale secondary ion mass spectrometry
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Rennert, Thilo; Höschen, Carmen; Rogge, Derek; Steffens, Markus.
Rationale: In contaminated soil, copper (Cu) is commonly distributed among various very small particles. To enlighten the qualitative distribution of Cu in a contaminated Technosol (a soil developed from deposited technogenic material) on the sub‐micron scale, we used nano‐scale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS).  Methods: We studied seven areas (up to 40 μm × 40 μm) on a thin section of a soil horizon by NanoSIMS, measuring 12C−, 18O−, 32S−, 63Cu− and 56Fe16O−. We evaluated the NanoSIMS measurements with a novel digital image processing tool to enlighten the composition of measured areas and thus the distribution of Cu at the sub‐micron scale. Image processing comprised spatial and spectral smoothing, normalization, endmember extraction and...

Sustainable nutrient supply of organic farming challenged by specialisation
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Hansen, Sissel; A. Bleken, Marina; Løes, Anne-Kristin; Govasmark, Espen; Falk Øgaard, Anne; Breland, Tor Arvid.
Diverse production on each farm, with livestock density well balanced with crop production, has been the traditional way to maintain the soil fertility in organic farming systems. However, there is a trend of specialisation into stockless arable or livestock farms. Stockless farming is challenged by depletion of soil mineral reserves and soil organic matter, risk of large nutrient losses after green manuring, and dependence on nutrient supply from external sources. In this paper, we focus on these challenges to sustained soil fertility.

Control carrot fly
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: van den Broek, Rob.
The larva of the carrot fly, Psila rosae, may in some umbelliferous plants cause significant damage. The insect is mainly in the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, but also in some subtropical areas. Everywhere in the Netherlands where carrots are grown, is degradation. In the Netherlands organic growers seem well with the carrot fly problem to go, the number of reports of harm and disapproval is not too bad. With smart cultivation measures, the problems are manageable and, understanding the biology and life cycle of the carrot fly, appropriate measures may limit the damage. In this bioKennis report an overview and tips.

A method to include machine manufacturing energy in energy balance analysis
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Ahokas, J.; Mikkola, H.
Manufacturing and also maintenance and repair energy demand is hard to find, there are only few research data available and this data seems no to be very reliable. Manufacturing energy damand can be calculated by estimating the mean tractor usage and calculating the manufacturing energy per consumed fuel liter. In this way it is easy to estimate the manufacturing energy, because it can be calculated with the liter/ha figures. Fuel consumption for different works in the form of liter/ha can easily  be found in literature.

The role of agroecology in sustainable intensification
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Pearce, Bruce; Lampkin, Nicolas; Leake, Alastair; Padel, Susanne.
This paper explores how agroecological approaches can contribute to sustainable intensification. There is an ongoing debate on how we can produce the required levels of food the world needs on existing farmland, while minimising environmental impacts. The ‘sustainable intensification’ concept has been proposed to reconcile these two objectives.  In parallel, there is a growing interest in how agroecological approaches can contribute to the world’s food security. We reviewed the evidence for a large range of agroecological practices and made a close comparison between conventional agricultural systems and integrated agriculture, organic farming and agroforestry, comparing on a range of factors.  Overall, the study found that agroecological approaches can...

Organic farming and agri-environmental stewardship schemes in Devon
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Samuel, A; Butler, T.
A postal survey was undertaken in North Devon looking at entry into England Rural Development Programme (ERDP) environmental schemes in relation to farming system and markets. The main survey was based in and around the North Devon Biosphere reserve. Significantly more farms replied who had Countryside Stewardship (CSS) agreements than from those who were not in the scheme. There was a greater likelihood of small farms joining CSS as were beef, sheep and cereal farms compared with dairy farms. A greater percent of organic farms had CSS agreements compared with the conventional farms. A smaller telephone survey in a CSS target area in South Devon was also undertaken which confirmed these results. Those farms with CSS agreements were more likely to have...

Marsh v Baxter, Kojonup to Canberra: Foresight, Hindsight and Insight
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Paull, John.
Australia is a global leader in organic production and a minnow in global GMO production. Organic produce consistently sells at a premium, while genetically modified (GM) produce consistently sells at a discount. In the case of Marsh and Baxter, the facts were agreed but their interpretation was not and this proved fatal to the case. This was a dispute between two farmer neighbours at Kojonup, Western Australia. When the GMO moratorium was lifted in WA, Baxter promptly planted Monsanto GM canola along his border with his organic neighbour. Marsh had previously warned Baxter that the organic certification of the Marsh farm was at risk if it was contaminated by an incursion of GM canola. The foreseen incursion eventuated and the certifier (NASAA) withdrew...

Our review concludes that organic standards need to account for a broader set of criteria in order to retain claims to ‘sustainability’. Measurements of the ecological, economic and social outcomes from over 96 kiwifruit, sheep/beef and dairy farms in New Zealand between 2004 and 2012 by The Agricultural Research Group on Sustainability (ARGOS) project showed some enhanced ecosystem services from organic agriculture that will assist a “land-sharing” approach for sustainable land management. However, the efficiency of provisioning services is reduced in organic  systems and this potentially undermines a “land-sparing” strategy to secure food security and ecosystem services. Other aspects of the farm operation that are not considered in the organic standards...

Karbondynamikk i landbruksjord
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Pommeresche, Reidun; Serikstad, Grete Lene; Hansen, Sissel.
Karbon tilføres jorda via planterøtter og i form av husdyrgjødsel og annet organisk materiale. Det er krevende å øke innholdet av karbon i dyrket jord. Hovedgrunnen er at mye karbon fjernes fra jorda via avlinger som gras, korn og grønnsaker. Karbonholdige molekyler er også ettertraktede energikilder og byggeråstoff for jordorganismene i eng- og åkerjord, og avgjørende for næringsfrigjøring i jord. Bare en liten andel av karbonet som tilføres jorda vil vanligvis være der etter noen år. Klima, driftsmåte, jord-egenskaper, planterøtter, mikroorganismer og meitemark påvirker karbonets skjebne i matjordlaget. Det er ennå mye vi ikke vet.

Secondly, this procedure is used to simulatescenarios for conversion to organic farming in Denmark.Three scenarios for conversion to organic farming with thepresent crop yield and an expected improved future crop yieldare compared to the 1996-situation in Denmark, whereconventional farming dominates. In all scenarios, fossil...

The Use of Legumes for Agro-Energy and Non-Food Purposes
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Jensen, Erik Steen; Hauggaard-Nielsen, Henrik; Peoples, Mark B.; Gresshoff, Peter M.; Vance, Carroll P.
The vision of a more “bio-based economy” will mitigate global climate change by substituting fossil resources for energy and industrial raw materials by sustainable biomass resources, potentially refined to high value chemicals, materials and fuels in biorefinery concepts. Legume-based cropping systems can play a significant role for such paradigm shift, also when taking into account a potential adoption of less meat-intensive diets. The aim of this review is to evaluate the current knowledge and potential of legume use for agro-energy and other non-food purposes.   Legumes contribute protein rich food and feed but also many other interesting compounds, which can be refined for pharmaceuticals, surfactants or food additives (e.g. saponins, isoflavonoids,...

Some Juva households' food expenditures
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Hannula, Annamari.
A consumer research study of food purchases in 10 households in Juva, Finland, in 2004 suggests that few households are environmentally conscious as was the case in the Järna study. The primary aim of this consumer survey was to see what a typical Finnish food basket might contain (consumption profile). A secondary goal was to find out how many of the items in that basket were locally and ecologically produced foodstuffs.

What can resaerch deliver for organic farming? Key note presentation
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Raven, Hugh.
It’s a great pleasure to have been asked to speak today, and on a subject that – while I can claim no expertise – has occupied my thoughts intermittently over the last 25 years.  I did at one stage seriously consider whether your profession was the one I wished to follow. I attended agricultural college in the late 1970s, and while my family had a farm, it seemed unlikely I would be the one asked to manage it. So I thought if I were to pursue a career in agriculture, either writing about it or researching how to improve it seemed very real career opportunities.  I took a different route, for a variety of reasons – most of them not germane to our subject today. But it is true to say that much of what I saw then had the effect of turning me away from...

Obstacles, levers and impacts of organic farming development in Camargue
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Delmotte, Sylvestre; Lacombe, C; Couderc, Vincent; Mailly, F; Mouret, J.C.; Lopez-Ridaura, S; Barbier, J.M.
We are presenting an analysis of the obstacles and levers for the development of organic cropping systems in Camargue, documented with a multicriteria analysis of scenarios of organic farming (OF) development. This communication is built using results from on-farm agronomic monitoring, stakeholders and farmers’ interviews and the use of models for integrated assessment of scenarios. At the farm level, the obstacles are related to identification of profitable cropping systems and rotations that include enough rice, conversion being therefore risky as impacting financial management and requiring a labour reorganisation. At the regional level, the constraints are related to the absence of advisory services for technical issues, and to the lack of coordination...

Comparative environmental assessment of three systems for organic pig production in Denmark
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Halberg, Niels; Hermansen, John E.; Kristensen, Ib Sillebak; Eriksen, Jørgen; Tvedegaard, Niels.
Organic pig production has emerged as an alternative to the intensive conventional pig production in Europe with the animals confined indoors and often an imbalance between livestock and land for feed production and manure utilisation. The organic systems aim at improving animal welfare by supporting the pig’s natural behaviour (Hermansen et al., 2003), and improving soil fertility by better linking crop and livestock production from an agro-ecological point of view.    The differences between organic and conventional pig production is more fundamental than for example differences between dairy production systems, which may be why the share of pig herds within the organic holdings is considerably lower than the percentage of pig herds in conventional...

Green house gas (GHG) emissions from Danish bioethanol production and choice of biomass raw materials
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Hauggaard-Nielsen, Henrik; Thomsen, Mette Hedegaard; Petersson, Anneli; van Maarschalkerweerd, Christian; Nielsen, Lars Henrik; Thomsen, Anne Belinda; Jensen, Erik Steen.
It is very much debated whether bioethanol is a sustainable energy resource that can offer environmental and long-term economic advantages over fossil fuels, like gasoline or die-sel. From the present first generation bioethanol technology focusing on starch (from grain) fermentation GHG savings are only modest. The Danish Integrated Biomass Utili-sation System (IBUS) has developed both first generation and second generation princi-pal bioethanol technologies characterised by integration with an existing coal-fired Com-bined Heat and Power (CBH) plant.  To secure that bioenergy is produced from local adapted raw materials with limited use of non-renewable fossil fuels there is a need for integrating the biomass starting point into the energy manufacturing...

Farmers or consumers may ask about the environmental implications when choosing organic products. Is it sustainable to buy organic products from China or South America? How much does the long-distance transport affect the climate and carbon footprint of the products? And does the organic production in the countries concerned benefit the environment? These are some of the questions raised – and the point of departure for a recently finalized PhD study.

Life cycle assessment of fossil energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in Chinese pear production
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Liu , Y.; Langer, V.; Høgh-Jensen, H.; Egelyng, H.
An environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) was performed  in China to investigate environmental consequences of the life cycle of pears in terms of fossil energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. The assessment identified activities that contributed significantly to pears’ environmental impacts from the cradle to the point of sale. Cultivation was identified as having the greatest greenhouse gas emissions in pear production chains, followed by the process of storage and transportation. The contribution from fossil energy use differed in the production chains since environmental performance does not follow the farming system (organic-conventional) but is co-determined by topography and thus machine use, by market demands to seasonality of products and...

Strip intercropping strategy including both annual and  perennial legumes for increased fertilizer N substitution and climate change mitigation
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Hauggaard-Nielsen, Henrik; Jensen, Erik Steen.
Substitution of nitrogen (N) fertilization by leguminous  symbiotic N2-fixation (SNF) mitigates global CO2 emissions. However, changes to present cropping methods and systems are required to obtain such advantages (Hauggaard-Nielsen et al., 2009). Strip intercropping attempts to capture the biological efficiency of intercropping (Willey, 1979) in the context of more separated crop components and efficient mechanization (Exner et al., 1999). The aim of the study is to test the use of a 6m annual winter rye-winter vetch intercrop strip adjacent to a 6m perennial grass-clover mixture.

Input output accounting systems in the European community - an appraisal of their usefulness in raising awareness of environmental problems
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Goodlass, G.; Halberg, N.; Verschuur, G.
Input Output Accountingsystems (IOAs) can be used to identify farming practices which are not ‘environmentally neutral’ and thus unlikely to be sustainable in the long term. In an EU sponsored project, European countries were surveyed and over 50 farm level IOAs identified. The subjects covered by the IOAs included nutrients, pesticides, energy, soil/habitat, conservation, wastes (e.g.packagingandtyres)and other items such as veterinary products. Nearly half the IOAs covered more than one subject and nutrient budgets were the most commonly included(91% of the IOAs studied). Looking at the 30 single subject systems, most (26)were nutrients with only three pesticide and one energy based system. In total 50 systems covered nutrients. Overall, where specified,...

Refined forage legumes as local sources of protein feed for monogastrics and high quality fibre feed for ruminants in organic production
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Protein supplementation is a challenge in organic livestock production. Use of imported protein feeds on organically managed farms limits the recycling of nutrients. Fractionation of forage legumes, through novel harvesting and biorefining techniques, into protein- and fibre-rich feeds for monogastrics and ruminants, respectively, can increase farm self-sufficiency with feed. Economic, environmental and social sustainability needs to be taken into account when developing concepts for localised food systems.  Mathematical models will be developed for protein yields of lucerne and red clover. Leaf stripping and juice production will be studied in experiments located in different regions in Europe and Turkey and assessed for feed value in monogastrics and...

Survey of the sustainability aspects of Automatic Milking Systems (AMS) in organic dairy production
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Oudshoorn, Frank; de Boer, Imke.
The objective of this survey was to assess economic, ecological and societal sustainability aspects when introducing automatic milking systems on organic dairy cattle farms. The assessment is made in close relation to the stakeholders that have been determined. This assessment is based on current available knowledge which does not differentiate between organic and conventional management.Net farm income on conventional dairy farms introducing AMS does not increase significantly,neither is this expected for organic AMS farms. The time saving effect results in social but not economic advantages. Introduction of AMS on conventional farms in combination with grazing,results in a small increase in fossil energy use per kg milk, and an increase in eutrophication...

Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Nauta, Wytze J.; Cuijpers, Willemijn J.M.; Staps, J.J.M.; Scholberg, Johannes.
In Nederland zijn er nu ruim 1 miljoen biologische legkippen die jaarlijks bijna 300 miljoen eieren produceren maar ook 25.000 ton mest. De meeste legkippenhouders hebben zelf weinig grond en moeten de mest afvoeren. Het project ‘Kippenmest en Kringloop’ streeft er naar deze mest zo goed mogelijk in te zetten en te benutten binnen de biologische landbouw. Om de mest aantrekkelijker te maken voor bijvoorbeeld de akkerbouw is het belangrijk dat de mestkwaliteit en daarbij met name de verhouding tussen stikstof en fosfaat verbetert. In 2009 en 2010 zijn pilots uitgevoerd om het effect van aanpassingen in het kippenvoer op de mestkwaliteit te onderzoeken.

Autores: Fink, Leonie.
Die Situation der heutigen Landwirtschaft nimmt immer größere Dimensionen der Kapitalisierung und Gewinnmaximierung an. Um die Auswirkungen dieses Systems  aufzuhalten und eine zukunftsfähige Landwirtschaft betreiben zu können musste ein Umdenken in der Beziehung zwischen Verbrauchern und Landwirten stattfinden. Aus dieser Bewegung entstand die Idee der Community Supported Agriculture. Eine Vertragslandwirtschaft zwischen Verbrauchern und Landwirten, die auch auf die Grundlagen des Ökologischen Landbaus zurückgreift.  In den USA ist die Idee der CSA bereits weit verbreitet und wird auf vielen Höfen angewendet. In Ländern wie Deutschland hat diese Art der Landwirtschaft jedoch keinen großen Bekanntheitsgrad.

Climate Change, Agriculture and Development in Croatia
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Legro, Susan; Znaor, Darko; Landau, Seth.
Both the challenges and potential benefits of climate change mitigation and adaptation are particularly apparent in Croatia's agricultural sector. In 2004, this sector emitted 3.558 Gg of CO2 equivalent, comprising 12 percent of the country’s anthropogenic GHG emissions in that year. Soil management accounted for 62 percent of these emissions, enteric fermentation (associated with animal digestive systems) accounted for 25 percent, and manure management for 13 percent. However, recent research suggests that the GHG emissions generated by Croatian agriculture and related activities (e.g., energy, farm-inputs, trade, transport, agricultural research, veterinary services) are responsible for 18 percent of all anthropogenic GHG emissions in Croatia. The...

Monetäre Auswirkungen angepassten Reifeninnendrucks im Ackerbau unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Erbsen
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Wolf, Daniel; Möller, Detlev; Schmidt, Harald; Wild, Melanie; Demmel, Markus.
A goal in ecological agriculture is to avoid and reduce soil compaction. One possibility is the use of a tire inflation system (TIS). Additionally, sowing equipment with broader working width can be used. Both technologies save working time and fuel. Furthermore, yield could increase due to less soil compaction, especially for peas as field trials show. Data from the field trials and from original farms were used to calculate the profitability for the soil protection technologies. The fuel savings are enough to cover the variable and fix costs of the TIS. The pea surplus is an extra revenue. If working time reduction is additionally valued than in total the farms can gain above 19,-€/ha arable land using a TIS. The most farms have not enough traction power...

Corporate Social Responsibility and Organic Farming –Experiences in Austria
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Gössinger, Katharina; Freyer, Bernhard.
Although the market for organic products has been growing in Austria for a few years, the rising competition of so called regional, natural or sustainable products should be taken seriously. One solution in times of “conventionalisation” of organic farming could be higher ethical standards in organic farming and more effective communication of ethical values, as it has already been practised by a great number of medium-sized and large enterprises under the name of “Corporate Social Responsibility” (CSR). CSR refers to all services that are beyond legal requirements, performed on a voluntary basis. This article discusses the topic CSR and similar approaches in the Austrian organic sector on the basis of 30 interviews with Austrian organic farmers and...

Ökologische Bewirtschaftung erfordert die Steuerung von innerbetrieblichen Nährstoffflüssen
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Sundrum, Albert.
Self-organised ecosystems are characterised by a high efficiency in the use of limited nutrient resources whereas the productivity is generally low. To utilise the potentials of agro-ecosystems with respect to a high nutrient efficiency, there is a need to steer the nutrient flow and provide good starting and adaptation conditions for living organisms.   While organic standards provide no operational guidelines on how to improve nutrient management, a concept was developed to improve N-efficiency on the farm level. N-import into the farm and N-flow through subordinate sub-systems (‘livestock’, ‘dung storage/ distribution’, ‘arable land/pasture’, and ‘feed storage/distribution’) were assessed on 9 organic and 7 conventional dairy farms, based on farm...

Herbicidet Starane 180S’ effekt på pollenproduktionen hos mælkebøtte og rødkløver - påvirkninger af fødeudbudet i markhegn på konventionelle og økologiske brug
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Christensen, K.K.
Conventional farming and its use of herbicides does not only affect the weeds in cultivated fields. Herbicides also affect the hedge bottom vegetation of the adjacent hedgerows because of spray drift deposits from the fields.  Reduced pollen production and viability followed by poor seed set has been observed for many different Glyphosate-resistant crops. This may also be the case for wild flowering plants outside the fields, if they are exposed to herbicides during their flowering period. Hedgerows are, because of their shape and placement in the landscape, greatly affected by field management. An alternative to conventional farming is organic farming, where the use of pesticides is forbidden. The fact that pesticides are forbidden in organic farming,...

Dissolution of cellulosic particles: Population ensemble modeling informs efficient woody biomass processing
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Ghasemi, Mohammad; Tsianou, Marina; Alexandridis, Paschalis.
A major barrier to the efficient utilization of biomass is the recalcitrance to dissolution of semicrystalline cellulose. The present study addresses the kinetics of swelling and dissolution of cellulose particles in conditions emulating large-scale processing where the particles exhibit a distribution of size and degree of crystallinity. To this end, we have developed a model in which the behavior of a population of particles is obtained from an ensemble of individual cellulose particle dissolution models. The dissolution of individual solid cellulose particles is based on the relevant transport phenomena and kinetics and reveals decrystallization and disentanglement as two important and potentially rate-determinant steps in the process [1]. The average...

Abstract. The emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) and leaching of nitrate (NO3) have considerable negative impacts on climate and the environment. Although these environmental burdens are on average less per unit area in organic than in non-organic production, they are not smaller per unit of product. If organic farming is to maintain its goal of being an environmentally friendly production system, these emissions should be mitigated. We discuss the impact of possible triggers within organic arable farming practice for the risk of N2O emissions and NO3 leaching under European climatic conditions, and possible strategies to reduce these. Organic arable crop rotations can be characterised as diverse with frequent use of legumes, intercropping and organic...

Sustainable rural development with emphasis on agriculture and food security within the climate change setting : SARD-climate final report
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Sumelius, John; Bäckman, Stefan; Kahiluoto, Helena; Rötter, Reimund.
Sustainable Agricultural and Rural Development (SARD) is considered an essential step toward achieving the first Millenium Development Goal (MDG) of eradicating extreme hunger and poverty. In order to achieve this important goal, first it is important to find ways of increasing the incomes of the rural poor, who mostly depend on upon agriculture for their livelihoods. This means improving development, cooperation, trade and agricultural policy to improve agriculture's contribution to economic development and poverty reduction. Current projects estimate that 1.02 billion people will go hungry in 2009 alone; an indication that if efforts are not directed at reversing this trend it would most likely continue.

This paper discusses the results of a survey conducted by the Organic Research Centre’s Agroecology Programme to gain an understanding of how landowners in the UK are currently using the woody components on their land, in order to assess whether there is potential from landowners to gain more both economically and ecologically from the woody components.   This survey was intended to reach a wide audience of landowners that practiced both organic and non-organic farming. Organisations that helped to distribute this survey are listed in Appendix 1. The survey was a voluntary online survey, therefore the assumption is that landowners that took part would have had an interest in this topic and therefore may not be representative of all UK landowners.

Ecological footprint could be a tool for evaluating impacts of different agricultural production systems (PS). Based on more years field experiments producing vegetables and field crops cological footprint of conventional (CON), integrated (INT), organic (ORG) and biodynamic (BD) farming systems in Maribor and CON, INT and ORG in Dolenci was calculated and interpreted using the SPIonExcel tool. Results showed a markedly lower ecological footprint of ORG and BD systems compared to CON and INT which are not significantlly different. Identified were possibilities for reducing ecological footprint – for CON and INT by reducing mineral fertilizers and pesticide inputs; for ORG and BD by changing fuels and reducing maschinery use.

Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Høgh-Jensen, Henning; Myaka, Fidelis M; Kamalongo, Donwell; Ngwira, Amos.
Access to a food and a diverse diet are important to secure human wellbeing. A big part of our diet is carbohydrates, which cereals are superior in supplying. The challenge addressed in this chapter is to find appropriate ways to supplement these carbohydrates. Using Phaseolus beans as example, we discuss the focus of our efforts based on variations in yield of the crop and variations in the bean grain’s richness in minerals. Securing an abundant supply of minerals in the daily diet of people is a major challenge for mankind. But acknowledging that farmers cultivate their crops in very different environments may be a first important premise to re-establish the bridge between agriculture and human well-being. If the farmers are helped to address the...

Assessment of Alternative Phosphorus Fertilizers for Organic Farming: Compost and Digestates from Urban Organic Wastes
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Möller, Kurt.
Organic wastes from urban areas include organic household wastes, food processing residues and catering wastes. These so called "Urban Organic Wastes" are important potential sources for nutrient recycling back to agriculture. Main waste treatment options for these sources are composting and anaerobic digestion. Both differ in the process performance – regarding for example emissions or energy balances – and in the characteristics of the final fertilizer pro­duct. This fact sheet describes the most important aspects of compost and digestates from urban organic wastes for use in organic farming.

There appears to be several ways to use the indicators. In a complex policy context such as natural resource management indicators are foremost communicative tools for demonstrating issues that are already known ones. Successfully used, indicators may be tools for crystallizing the key of information flows. Contrary to technical use of indicators the circumstances of information utilization need to be emphasized in a complex policy context. Critical point of indicator's approach lies also in making of the interpretations. Finally, there are also power aspects, which should be noted for.

Can Green Growth Really Work and what are the True (Socio-)Economics of Climate Change?
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Hoffmann, Ulrich.
Many economists and policy makers advocate a fundamental shift towards "green growth" as the new, qualitatively-different growth paradigm, largely based on enhanced material/resource/energy efficiency, structural changes towards a service-dominated economy and a switch in the energy mix favouring renewable forms of energy.  "Green growth" may work well in creating new growth impulses with reduced environmental load and facilitating related technological and structural change. But can it also mitigate climate change at the required scale (i.e. significant, absolute and permanent decline of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at global level) and pace (i.e. in no more than two decades)?  This paper argues that growth, technological, population-expansion and...

Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Pommeresche, Reidun; Løes, Anne-Kristin; Torp, Torfinn.
The density and diversity of springtails (Collembola) in the upper soil layer (0–3.8 cm) were studied in a perennial grass-clover ley in NW Norway during April–June 2012. The study was part of a field experiment comparing yields and soil characteristics after application of non-digested slurry (NS) versus anaerobically digested slurry (DS) from dairy cows. In total for three sampling dates, 39 species of springtails were identified. In the Control plots receiving no manure, the density level was around 30 000 individuals (ind.) m2 throughout the whole season. Three days after slurry application (40 t ha -1), the density of springtails had dropped significantly; from 55 214 to 7410 ind. m2 in the NS treatment and from 41 914 to 10 260 ind. m2 in the DS...

This paper analyzes the beef cattle sector located in the dehesa agro-ecosystem (SW Spain). The objective is to detect the more sustainable systems based on the environmental dimension of sustainability comparing three production models. RESULTS:  organic farms contribute to environmental stability to a greater extent than conventional ones due to the implementation of certain farming practices. Organic farms (mainly the 'Organic 2' group of farms) do not use pesticides nor chemical fertilizers and present greater integration of livestock species, crops and trees, which has positive environmental and economic effects. This integration allows better use of food resources and conservation of the heterogeneity of landscapes, conserving natural resources and...

The footprint of organic farms. Some ecological indicators to evaluate it    Department of Food crops – State University of Milan
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Spigarolo, Roberto; Bechini , Luca; Bocchi , Stefano.
Agro-ecological indicators are a tool which provides an agile evaluation of the ecological footprint of a farm. This paper analyses the preliminary results of a survey in which 7 agro-ecological indicators were calculated for 81 organic farms in the region of Lombardy in the northern part of Italy.  The indicators chosen (all indicators of State) are: hedges and rows, energy input, energy output, energy output/input ratio, N balance, P2O5 balance, works unit per hectare.  The preliminary results suggest that these indicators allow to discriminate between different farms on the basis of the productive orientation (cropping classes). In perspective, the use of indicators may enable farmers to improve the management of their farm, evaluating the ecological...

Slik klimagassutslipp regnes for tiden, anslås det at 13 % av alle menneskeskapte utslipp på verdensbasis kommer fra landbrukssektoren (primærproduksjonen). I tillegg kommer utslipp knyttet til produksjon og transport av kunstgjødsel og sprøytemidler (lagt til industri) og tap av karbon fra jord på grunn av endret arealbruk (ikke med i Kyoto-protokollens beregningsgrunnlag). Om vi også inkluderer utslipp knyttet til lagring, omsetning og prosessering, bidrar matproduksjonssystemet med rundt 30 % av de menneskeskapte klimagassutslipp. Av Norges utslipp, som i 2008 var anslått til 53,8 millioner tonn CO2-ekvivalenter, utgjør landbrukssektorens beregnede utslipp 8 % hvorav metan og lystgass utgjør omtrent 50 % hver.

Evaluation of sustainability: results from long term experimental arable systems in Tuscany
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Migliorini, Paola; Vazzana, Concetta.
The research is aimed at implementing a methodology in order to estimate the sustainability of an agricultural system, through the use of Agro-ecological and Sustainability Indicators. The methodology is applied to three stockless, experimental agricultural systems, part of a long-term experiment (MOLTE) managed with diverse typologies (old organic, new organic vs conventional). The results derived from the three different management systems are estimated by considering crop rotation and efficiency in terms of energetic, macro-element (N, P, K) and organic matter flow. These are related to the landscape and biodiversity system, as well as the soil and the environmental system. The research shows that the agro-ecosystems managed with the organic agriculture...

Do the opportunity costs of providing crop diversity differ between organic and conventional farms? The case of Finnish agriculture
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Huhtala, Anni; Sipiläinen, Timo.
The attractiveness of targeted environmental policies on farmlands depends crucially on the  opportunity costs of the conservation programs. We use a crop diversity index as an indicator of  environmental output to compare the efficiency of conventional and organic crop farms. Technical  efficiency scores are estimated by applying data envelopment analysis to a sample of Finnish farms  for the period 1994 – 2002. We also estimate shadow values, or the opportunity costs, of producing  crop diversity. Our results show that there is variation in the shadow values between farms and the  technology adopted. The findings provide a basis for designing cost-effective policy instruments  such as auctions for conservation payments.

Autores: Rötter, R.; Lehtonen, H.; Palosuo, T.; Salo, T.; Helin , J.; Kahiluoto, H.; Aakkula, J.; Granlund, K.; Rankinen, K.; Carter, T.
Agrifood systems need to adapt to cope with the risks and opportunities related to global changes in  climate, markets and policies. The impacts of these changes on food production, the environment and  farmer livelihoods, as well as those of changes to technology and management practices, are not  clearly understood. There is a need for improved assessment methods and tools that consider multiple  factor and scale interactions (Van Ittersum et al., 2008). In recent years, European-wide consortia,  such as SEAMLESS, have worked for creating flexible and widely applicable frameworks for  integrated assessment and and modelling of agrifood systems That work has been valuable in  developing common concepts, methods and more flexible frameworks (Ewert et al.,...

Biodiversity and organic farming – where next after Curry?
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Alexander, Ian.
This report was presented at the UK Organic Research 2002 Conference. The recent Curry Commission report recognised the need to provide incentives for the production of public goods in terms of the environment. This is a particular advantage for organic farming because its biodiversity benefit is no longer being seriously questioned and many, large NGOs have a positive policy attitude towards organic farming. However, to ensure a good deal for organic farming in any new development of agri-environment schemes, the organic sector needs to play a positive role, with careful consideration of all steps in the development of policy.

Current (1997–2006) and future (2050) global field biomass bioenergy potential was estimated based on FAO (2009) production statistics and estimations of climate change impacts on agriculture according to emission scenario B1 of IPCC. The annual energy potential of raw biomass obtained from crop residues and bioenergy crops cultivated in fields set aside from food production is at present 122–133 EJ, 86–93 EJ or 47–50 EJ, when a vegetarian, moderate or affluent diet is followed, respectively. In 2050, with changes in climate and increases in population, field bioenergy production potential could be 101–110 EJ, 57–61 EJ and 44–47 EJ, following equivalent diets. Of the potential field bioenergy production, 39–42 EJ now and 38–41 EJ in 2050 would derive from...

Farming on grasslands is an important part of organic faming. There is a perceptible trend of increasing acreages of grasslands in organic farming in the Czech republic too. Adjustment of subventions has an inconsiderable influence on this trend.  Subventions should be balanced in a sufficient measure for supporting of organic farming in all directions, nevertheless in current situation the increasing of acreage of grasslands is too strong and share of grasslands in organic farming is too high. It provokes a degradation of production function of organic farming and insufficient utilization of arable land.

Økologisk landbruk er ikke verre for klima og miljø
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Hansen, Sissel.
Det er feil å konkludere at økologisk landbruk er verre for klima og miljø basert på at høye avlinger fører til mindre avskoging. Det er mer enn avlingsnivå som bestemmer avskoging, mer enn areal som bestemmer landbrukets klimaavtrykk, og miljø er mer enn klimagasser.

Ökonomisches und ökologisches Potenzial der Agroforstwirtschaft
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Krummenacher, Jolanda; Maier, Birgit; Huber, Franz; Weibel, Franco.
In der Landwirtschaft herrscht ein zunehmendes Spannungsfeld zwischen ökologischen und ökonomischen Vorgaben. Ein innovativer Ansatz, der sowohl Anforderungen an eine nachhaltige Bewirtschaftung wie auch an wettbewerbsfähige Produktion erfüllen kann, ist die Agroforstwirtschaft. Da es in der Schweiz noch keine Agroforstbetriebe gibt, haben wir in Deutschland anhand einer Fallstudie untersucht, wie in der Praxis die Wirtschaftlichkeit eines Agroforstsystems berechnet werden kann.  Aufgrund einer genauen Betriebsanalyse mit der Kalkulationssoftware «Paracalc», einer Software von Agridea zur Kalkulation paralandwirtschaftlicher Projekte, konnten folgende Schlussfolgerungen erarbeitet werden:  Agroforstsysteme haben ein interessantes Potenzial. Ein Grund dafür...

V odborné i laické veřejnosti se v posledních letech velmi často diskutovaným tématem staly klimatické změny. Součástí těchto změn je oteplení většiny pevnin, negativní ovlivnění vodních zdrojů a velká variabilita počasí. Faktem je, že se zemské klima mění. Otázkou zůstává, zda je tento proces následkem antropogenní činnosti, zejména průmyslové revoluce, nebo zda je tato změna způsobena nezávislými přírodními pochody.

Organic Farming and the Energy Crisis: Saint or Sinner?
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Philipps, Ms Lois; Bently-Fox, Miss Helen.
Food production systems are partially responsible for contributing to elevated levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere due to the heavy reliance on fossil fuels and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Organic farming systems, however, strive to work so far as possible within closed systems, which attempt to use appropriate technologies and scarce resources sparingly. Drawing data from recent case studies this paper examines how close modern UK organic farming can come to these ideals. The paper will conclude with recommendations for the organic farming sector to deliver a food production system that will be required to operate within tighter economic, social and environmental constraints in the future.

Sustainability of organic and conventional beef cattle farms in SW Spanish rangelands (‘dehesas’): a comparative study
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Escribano, A.J.; Mesias, F.J.; Gaspar, P.; Escribano, M.; Pulido, F.
Organic production in Spain has increased substantially in recent years due to several factors, such as the growing interest of the European Union towards preserving sensitive ecosystems; the potential role of organic production in the socio-economic development of rural areas and the growing consumers' demand for safer and higher quality foods. Within this framework, this paper analyzes the beef sector of SW Spanish rangelands (dehesas). These are traditional systems characteristic of the Iberian Peninsula where native herbaceous vegetation and evergreen species of Quercus provide the basis for extensive beef farms. Alt-hough traditional management in dehesa farms is of vital importance for the sustainability of this particular ecosystem, in the last...

Horse Welfare and Natural Values on Semi-natural and Extensive Pastures in Finland: Synergies and Trade-Offs
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Saastamoinen, Markku; Herzon, Irina; Särkijärvi, Susanna; Schreurs, Catherine; Myllymäki, Marianne.
In several regions in Europe, the horse is becoming a common grazer in semi-natural and cultivated grasslands, though the pasturing benefits for animals and biodiversity alike are not universally appreciated. The composition of ground vegetation on pastures determines the value of both the forage for grazing animals as well as the biodiversity values for species associated with the pastoral ecosystems. We studied three pastures, each representing one of the management types in Southern Finland (latitudes 60-61): semi-natural, permanent and cultivated grassland. All have been grazed exclusively by horses for several decades. Se aimed to evaluate feeding values and horses' welfare, on the one hand, and impacts of horses on biodiversity in boreal conditions,...

The effect of organic farming systems on aspects of the environment - desk study OF0123
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Unwin, Roger; Bell, Barbara; Shepherd, Mark; Webb, John; Keatinge, Ray; Bailey, Steven.
Key Conclusions  1.  The crop rotations of organic systems maintain landscape diversity and biodiversity whilst the maintenance of field boundaries on organic units produces benefits to a wide range of organisms.  2.  Inorganic nitrogen fertilisation and herbicide treatments of conventionally managed grassland has reduced the floral diversity of permanent pastures and maintained the low diversity of re-seeded pastures, greatly reducing their value as wildlife habitats.  3.  Pesticide use is responsible for the removal of food sourcesfor birds and mammals in the form of weeds and invertebrates, as well as removing whole populations of potentially beneficial insects.  4.  The majority of water pollution incidents from farms are caused during storage and...

The Network of Ecological Compensation Areas in Switzerland
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Schlatter, Christian; Schader, Christian.
Since 1993, the Swiss law and Ordinance on Direct Payments for Agriculture (ODP) enables farmers to be compensated for ecological measures. A catalogue lists different possible measures which can be implemented at farm level both to create space for nature and biodiversity and to generate an alternative income for farmers. Measures include the maintenance of e. g. semi-natural structures in the landscape such as high-stem trees, hedges, pastures and meadows which are not intensively used (detailed catalogue: ART 2009). Succeeding a fast increase in the number of these areas, stagnation has been observed (BIODIVERSITYMONITORING 2009). Additionally, it has become evident, that many compensation areas are in unfavourable conditions for biodiversity and their...

GMO moratoria are in place in Australia, in some states and not in others. Is co-existence possible between organic farming and GMO farming? And if so, under what circumstances? Australia has more certified organic land than any other country, with a reported 12.0 million hectares of certified organic land compared to the world total of 37.5 million hectares. In a recent court case, an organic farmer lost his organic certification because of GMO contamination. A total of 325 hectares of his 478 hectare farm were contaminated with GM canola blown from a neighbouring property, and this resulted in the decertification of most of the farm. The organic farmer sued his neighbour, a GMO farmer, on the basis of nuisance or negligence, he sought damages for loss of...

Autores: Paull, John.
Ocean Dumping  A German research vessel, the Polarstern, is on a 70 day exercise of dumping 20 tonnes of ferrous sulphate (iron sulphate, FeSO4) in the Southern Ocean at a latitude of 46° south. The LOHAFEX experiment of the Alfred Wegner Institute for Polar &amp; Marine Research project will increase the iron level of the treated ocean area by a factor of up to 24 times “the natural iron concentration”. The target area is 20 kilometres in diameter, i.e. approximately 320 square kilometres. It could be argued that the Southern Ocean being far away from sources of pollution,as well as international media, is an ideal place to conduct such a geo-engineering experiment, and that maybe this ocean fertilization experiment will be the seed for a whole new...

Autores: Paulsen, Hans Marten; Frank, Helmut; Hülsbergen, Kurt-Jürgen; Rahmann, Gerold; Schmidt, Harald; Warnecke, Sylvia.
Sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission of milk production were analysed on organic and conventional dairy farms from cradle to farm gate and resulted in a mean of ca. 1 kg CO2 eq kg ECM-1 independent of the farm system. When calculated according to dry matter intake of the cows, mean percentages of GHG emissions from enteric fermentation on organic or conventional farms were 31 or 42 % from the complete product related emissions from milk production from cradle to farm gate, respectively. When feed quality parameters were considered in calculation, enteric methane production increased considerably with higher fibre contents in feedstuffs. This was especially important at lower milk yields. On the 44 farms that were analysed, minimal potential GHG...

Beef Cattle Farms’ Conversion to the Organic System. Recommendations for Success in the Face of Future Changes in a Global Context
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Escribano, A.J.
Abstract: Dehesa is a remarkable agroforestry system, which needs the implementation of sustainable production systems in order to reduce its deterioration. Moreover, its livestock farms need to adapt to a new global market context. As a response, the organic livestock sector has expanded not only globally but also in the region in search for increased overall sustainability. However, conversions to the organic system have been commonly carried out without analyzing farms’ feasibility to do so. This analysis is necessary before implementing any new production system in order to reduce both the diversity of externalities that the variety of contexts leads to and the vulnerability of the Dehesa ecosystem to small management changes. Within this context and...

Sorption of dissolved organic C and P to agricultural top- and subsoil
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Gjettermann, Birgitte; Styczen, Merete; Hansen, Søren; Borggaard, Ole K.; Hansen, Hans C.B.
In order to study the mobility of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved organic P (DOP) in soil, the pH-dependent sorption of dissolved organic matter to an agricultural top- and subsoil was investigated. In general, sorption isotherms had convex shapes and DOC and DOP sorption increased with time of reaction. There was a very pronounced effect of pH resulting in much higher sorption of DOC at pH 5 than at pH 7; actually extensive desorption was observed at pH 7 especially for the topsoil. Similar sorption patterns were observed for DOP, but they were not as pronounced as for DOC.

Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Znaor, Darko; Pretty, Jules N; Karoglan Todorović, Sonja; Morison, James.
Within the framework of an FAO technical assistance project for Croatia a study assessing the feasibility of large-scale conversion to organic farming was carried out. It examined the consequences of the conversion of a substantial portion of Croatian agricultural land to organic farming in relation to national agricultural output (food security) and related environmental and economic performance.     As farming is closely linked with a range of economic activities, besides farming the assessment also took into account the impact of wide-spread adoption of organic agriculture on farm-upstream linked sectors (FULS). These include energy production and supply, manufacturing of agri-chemical inputs, trade, transport and research, education, advisory,...

Autores: Ma, Fanyi; Liu, Xiuhua; Tikkanen-Kaukanen, Carina; Särkkä-Tirkkonen, Marjo; Mynttinen, Sinikka.
The study applies qualitative methods to reach a more in-depth understanding of Chinese tourists’ relations to food during their visit to Finland. The main interest is to find out how they perceive food and tourism, local food, environmentally friendly food and organic food during their trip. The preliminary results show that the Finnish food and food culture is not familiar among Chinese tourists and they have difficulties to identify the local food in holiday destinations. Concept of organic food was better understood than environmentally friendly food. Attributes like healthy, safer, natural, green, expensive and luxury were associated to the organic food. Additionally, organic food was considered to fulfill high quality standards.

Integrating foraging and agroforestry into organic pig production - Environmental and animal benefits
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Jakobsen, Malene.
Outdoor organic pig production is associated with significant risk of nitrogen (N) leaching with a subsequent increased risk of polluting nearby surface and ground water sources. Contributing factors are high input of supplementary feed and a relatively high animal stocking density combined with pigs’ heterogeneous deposition of urine and faeces within the paddock. In addition, pigs’ rooting behaviour destroys the grass cover, which adds to the risk of nitrate leaching. In particular, risk of leaching severely increases during winter with periods of high rainfall and impaired grass growth. Based on concerns for the environment, snout ringing of sows is common practice. However, as pigs have a high motivation for rooting, this is a source of conflict...

Fundamental understanding of cellulose dissolution can improve the efficiency of biomass processing
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Ghasemi, Mohammad; Tsianou, Marina; Alexandridis, Paschalis.
A major barrier to the efficient utilization of biomass is the recalcitrance to dissolution of crystalline cellulose. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the current understanding of the mechanism and kinetics of cellulose dissolution, with particular attention on how these findings can improve the efficiency of biomass processing. An improved fundamental understanding of cellulose dissolution can guide the rational selection of solvents and the optimization of processing conditions, thus leading to an enhanced utilization of biomass.

Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Kvande, Ingvar; Løes, Anne-Kristin; Ghaharamani, Hamid.
Følgeforskning, det vil si dokumentasjon av gassproduksjon, drift, energibruk og energiproduksjon fra biogass-anlegget på tingvoll gard er gjennomført i tidsrommet 19.juni til 29.september 2017. Resultanene reflekterer ikke stabil drift (ulik organisk belastning), men peker i samme retning som tidligere resultater og erfaringer: følgeforskningen viser at det er avgjørende for stabil biogassproduksjon å oppnå god gjødselflyt fra fjøs til biogassanlegg. Problemer med propellomrøing i fjøset førte til at råstoffet hadde lavt tørrstoff-innhold og testen tyder på av råstoffet inneholdt en høy andel lett-omsettelig organisk materiale.   Målt spesifikt metanutbytte for den kontinuelrig omørte reaktor-løsningen er høyt på grunn av tilstanden på råstoffet og anses...

Energy use in crop production on danish mixed farms: Systems modelling of data from farm studies
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Halberg, Niels; Kristensen, Erik Steen; Refsgaard, Karen.
The problems of balancing agricultural production methods against environmental concern cannot be solved by focusing on single activities of livestock farming and experimental knowledge alone because of interactions between herds and crops and between the production system and the manager. An alternative method based on studies in private farms is proposed to evaluate the effects of the production intensity on pollution and resource efficiency. Energy use and crop yield in gram and grass-clover crops registered on conventional and organic mixed dairy farms were analyzed in order to facilitate modelization of energy efficiency in different production systems on different danish soil types. The energy efficiency was higher in organic crops on all soil types...

Agroecosystem resilience and farmers’ perceptions of climate change impacts on cocoa farms in Alto Beni, Bolivia
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Jacobi, Johanna; Schneider, Monika; Bottazzi, Patrick; Pillco, Maria; Calizaya, Patricia; Rist, Stephan.
Cocoa-based small-scale agriculture is the most important source of income for most farming families in the region of Alto Beni in the sub-humid foothills of the Andes. Cocoa is grown in cultivation systems of varying ecological complexity. The plantations are highly susceptible to climate change impacts. Local cocoa producers mention heat waves, droughts, floods and plant diseases as the main impacts affecting plants and working conditions, and they associate these impacts with global climate change. From a sustainable regional development point of view, cocoa farms need to become more resilient in order to cope with the climate change related effects that are putting cocoa-based livelihoods at risk. This study assesses agroecosystem resilience under...

Conservation agriculture and organic farming are considered as promising sustainable agricultural system for producing food, while minimizing environmental impacts. Despite an increasing number of experimental data on organic conservation practices and various studies dealing with the adoption of conservation agriculture by farmers, none of those studies have specifically addressed conservation agriculture adoption under organic conditions in Europe. We carried out a survey with 159 farmers located in 10 European countries. These farmers had applied at least two of the following conservation practices: (i) no-tillage, (ii) reduced tillage and (iii) green manures. Each farmer assessed socio-economic, agronomic and environmental motivations and problems for...

Organic farming - stewardship for food security, food quality, environment and nature conservation
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Schnug, Ewald; Haneklaus, Silvia; Rahmann, Gerold; Paulsen, Hans-Marten; Walker, Robin.
Conventional agriculture is associated with problems such as pesticide residues in soils and plants, contamination of meat with antibiotics and hormones, and eutrophication of water bodies. An alternative for consumers is the consumption of products from organic farming. Organic management is possible on arable farms, although livestock is often a crucial part of the system as manure and slurry can contribute significantly to maintaining closed nutrient cycles. Independent of the management system, it is not possible to exclude nutrient losses to the environment on agricultural fields, but acceptable loads need to be defined. Organic farming can contribute to environmental protection and nature conservation in many ways, for instance by improving soil...

Energy use in organic farming
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Smith, L.G.; Williams, A.G.; Pearce, B.D.
Limited fossil fuel reserves, growing populations and rising input prices highlight the importance of increasing the efficiency of food production systems and reducing GHG emissions.  GHG emissions from fossil fuel use in agriculture are important along with the production of CH4 and N2O. In this context, organic agriculture has developed with an emphasis on resource use efficiency. The relative energy efficiencies of organic and non-organic farming were compared through a review of 50 studies including direct on-farm use and embedded energy in inputs.   Organic systems use less fossil-fuel energy on a unit of land area basis for nearly all crop and livestock types, although results are more variable per unit of product.  In many cases the difference can...

Carbon footprints of crops from organic and conventional arable crop rotations – using a life cycle assessment approach
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Knudsen, Marie Trydeman; Meyer-Aurich, Andreas; Olesen, Jørgen E.; Chirinda, N.; Hermansen, J.E.
Many current organic arable agriculture systems are challenged by a dependency on imported livestock manure from conventional agriculture. At the same time organic agriculture aims at being climate friendly. A life cycle assessment is used in this paper to compare the carbon footprints of different organic arable crop rotations with different sources of N supply. Data from long-term field experiments at three different locations in Denmark were used to analyse three different organic cropping systems (‘Slurry’, ‘Biogas’ and ‘Mulching’), one conventional cropping system (‘Conventional’) and a “No input” system as reference systems. The ‘Slurry’ and ‘Conventional’ rotations received slurry and mineral fertilizer, respectively, whereas the ‘No input’ was...

Uptake of 15N labeled nitrate by root systems of sweet corn, carrot and white cabbage from 0.2-2.5 meters depth
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Kristensen, Hanne L.; Thorup-Kristensen, Kristian.
Leaching of NO3− from vegetable cropping systems can be very high compared to arable systems. This is a problem for vegetable growers in general as it decreases groundwater quality, and for organic growers in particular as the organic production is often limited by N. In a field experiment, we investigated the N uptake and root growth of three vegetables using minirhizotrons reaching 2.4 m with the purpose to study the relationship between vegetable root distribution and uptake of NO3− from deep soil layers. NO3− uptake was studied over a 6 d period at the end of September by injection of 15 NO3− at four depths in the ranges: 0.2–0.8, 0.6–1.8, and 1–2.5 m under late sweet corn (Zea mays L. convar. Saccharata Koern.), carrot (Daucus carota L.), and autumn...

Time matters: Effects of duration of the organic management on biodiversity in hedgerows
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Strandberg, Beate; Damgaard, Christian.
Organic farming has been suggested to counteract declines in farmland biodiversity but comparisons to conventional farming have produced variable outcomes. At the plot and field scales positive effects of organic farming on abundance of birds, predatory insects, and soil organism have been found and for plants positive effects on species richness have been found in hedgerows. Establishment of new species is a slow process especially in nutrient rich habitats such as hedgerows in the farmland.  Fluctuating market prices and short-term economic gains have become increasingly important as incentive for conversion from conventional to organic management and transition forth and back between practices has become more frequent. We investigated the effect of...

Compensation for GMO contamination
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Paull, John.
A Parliamentary Inquiry was launched in Western Australia (WA) in December 2017 into how to compensate farmers for economic loss due to contamination by genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The Inquiry was prompted by the Marsh v Baxter case. In May 2010, Michael Baxter planted Monsanto’s Roundup Ready GM canola at his farm near Kojonup in the wheat-belt of WA. Next door, farming 477 hectares, were organic farmers Steve and Sue Marsh. GM canola blew over the Marsh farm. The Marsh farm lost its organic certification due to GM contamination. Marsh sued Baxter for damages - the loss of the organic premium. The damages were agreed between the parties at A$85,000. In a protracted legal battle the legal fees amounted to more than A$2 million. Marsh lost the...

Autores: Anne, Matilainen (ed.).
The social sustainability and fluent co-operation with the interest groups is perhaps the most crucial issue related to the development of hunting tourism at the moment. Due to the wide public huntings rights and intensive hunting club ativities in Northern countries, one of the key elements for the success of the hunting tourism company is a good co-operation with the local population and more widely, understanding on the local hunting  culture and rights of the local people related to that.    Also the ecological sustainability is a core value of hunting tourism. The biological resources set the framework for the enterpreneual activities and e.g. cause the seasonal nature to the activities.

This year marks a centenary of the synthetic fertilizer industry. German chemists, Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch, in 1909 demonstrated their industrial process for the manufacture of ammonia. The achievement won them accolades including Nobel Prizes. The output of their Haber-Bosch process can be used for either peace or war, agriculture or munitions, and the rapid adoption by Germany of this industrial process is credited with prolonging WW1. Most  of the synthetic nitrogenous fertilizer of the past century, and right up to the present, has been manufactured using the Haber-Bosch process. The use of synthetic fertilizers has led to significant negative environmental outcomes. Rudolf Steiner was an early voice against chemical agriculture. Steiner's...

Influence of cropping systems on greenhouse gas emissions
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Chirinda, N.
Globally, agricultural soils are the largest source of total anthropogenic nitrous oxide (N2O); a potent greenhouse gas (GHG). In agricultural soils N2O is produced as an intermediate in microbially mediated nitrification and denitrification and also represents a pathway of soil nitrogen (N) loss. Specific management practices such as fertilization, inclusion of grass-clover leys and catch crops would be expected to have different effects on soil C input, biological, chemical and physical properties and, consequently, crop production and soil N2O emissions.   This study was mainly based on a monitoring programme conducted at a long-term experiment in Denmark. The effects of fertilization, catch crops and grass-clover leys on cereal production, soil...

Zu den aktuellen Aufgaben der Systemforschung zählt die umfassende Analyse und Erforschung von Ertrags- und Umweltleistungen integrierter und biologischer Anbausysteme über mehrere Jahre. Diese werden benötigt, um die Systemkenntnisse zu erweitern, die Bedeutung einzelner Aspekte und Prozesse innerhalb der Systeme zu quantifizieren, Stärken und Schwächen der Systeme zu ermitteln und um Optimierungsmöglichkeiten aufzuzeigen. Langzeit-Anbausystemversuche wie der DOK-Versuch und Burgrain stellen dabei wertvolle experimentelle Anlagen dar. Diese gilt es für die möglichst umfassenden...

Autores: Lampkin, Nicolas; Pearce, Bruce; Leake, Alastair; Creissen, Henry; Gerrard, Catherine L; Gerling, Robbie; Lloyd, Sofie; Padel, Susanne; Smith, Jo; Smith, Laurence; Vieweger, Anja; Wolfe, Martin.
‘Sustainable intensification’ is now often used to describe the future direction for agriculture and food production as a way to address the challenges of increasing global population, food security, climate change and resource conservation. While sustainable intensification is interpreted by some to relate to increasing production, with more efficient but potentially increased use of inputs and technology, there is also a need to consider environmental protection, including the conservation and renewal of natural capital and the output of ecosystem services. There is a growing consensus that sustainable intensification should not only avoid further environmental damage, but actively encourage environmental benefits.   This includes addressing issues of...

Herleitung und Prüfung statischer Humusbilanzkoeffizienten für den ökologischen Landbau
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Brock, Christopher; Leithold, Günter.
Humus balances are tools for the assessment of humus management in farming practice. We evaluate the coefficients for organic farming systems that are comprised in the actual draft revision of the German standard method for humus balancing by VDLUFA. Specific coefficients for organic farming are supported by the N balance in the soil-plant system under organic management, and the coefficients under survey relate to plausible yield levels. The evaluation of the balances without and with application of farming-system specific coefficients in four organic long-term field experiments in Germany showed overall weak correlations of all balances with the test criteria soil C change, winter wheat yield level, and N balance, but balancing with specific coefficients...

Autores: Wagner, Andrea; Juschkat, Michaela; Heitkämper, Katja; Stadelmann, Monika; Hartmann, Stefan; Schick, Matthias.
The working time requirement for different methods of biogas production forms the basis for a full cost calculation as well as for the planning of working capacities in biogas plant management. The aim of this study is to quantify the time requirement under different conditions. An ergonomic analysis was carried out for ten biogas model plants which differed in terms of gas utilisation and installed capacity as well as of substrate usage (energy feedstock and mass) and plant size. The results of the model calculations yielded a total working time requirement of between 679 and 2,140 MPh/year for the ten model plants from an electrical output of 75 kW to a gas supply of 700 m3 under normal conditions. The time required for feeding a plant increases in...

SUSTAINABILITY OF POULTRY PRODUCTION USING THE EMERGY APPROACH: COMPARISON OF CONVENTIONAL AND ORGANIC REARING SYSTEMS
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: CASTELLINI, Prof C; BASTIANONI, Dr S; GRANAI, Dr C; DAL BOSCO, Dr A; BRUNETTI, Dr M.
The organic production system is an important strategy, compatible with sustainable agriculture, avoiding the use of chemical compounds,limiting the intensity of production and providing controls along the entire chain of production. The aim of this study is to compare conventional and organic poultry production in terms of emergy analysis. The main differences in the two systems were the emergy cost for poultry feed and for cleaning/sanitization of the buildings between successive productive cycles. In both production systems the poultry feed represented more than 50% of the emergy flow. Regarding the agronomic phase, it was shown that almost all the organic crops, avoiding  chemical fertilizers and pesticides, saved around 60% emergy. The emergetic costs...

Environmental impacts of organic and conventional agricultural products - Are the differences captured by life cycle assessment?
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Meier, Matthias S.; Stoessel, Franziska; Jungbluth, Niels; Juraske, Ronnie; Schader, Christian; Stolze, Matthias.
Comprehensive assessment tools are needed that reliably describe environmental impacts of different agricultural systems in order to develop sustainable high yielding agricultural production systems with minimal impacts on the environment. Today, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is increasingly used to assess and compare the environmental sustainability of agricultural products from conventional and organic agriculture. However, LCA studies comparing agricultural products from conventional and organic farming systems report a wide variation in the resource efficiency of products from these systems. The studies show that impacts per area farmed land are usually less in organic systems, but related to the quantity produced impacts are often higher. We reviewed 34...

Autores: Röös, E.; Mie, A.; Wivstad, Maria; Salomon, E.; Johansson, B.; Gunnarsson, Stefan; Wallenbeck, Anna; Hoffman, Ruben; Nilsson, Ulf; Sundberg, C.; Watson, Christine A.
Current organic agriculture performs well in several sustainability domains, like animal welfare, farm profitability and low pesticide use, but yields are commonly lower than in conventional farming. There is now a re-vitalized interest in increasing yields in organic agriculture to provide more organic food for a growing, more affluent population and reduce negative impacts per unit produced. However, past yield increases have been accompanied by several negative side-effects. Here, we review risks and opportunities related to a broad range of sustainability domains associated with increasing yields in organic agriculture in the Northern European context. We identify increased N input, weed, disease and pest control, improved livestock feeding, breeding...

(In)Efficient management of interacting environmental bads
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Kuosmanen, Timo; Laukkanen, Marita.
Many environmental problems involve the transformation of multiple harmful substances into one or more damage agents much in the same way as a firm transforms inputs into outputs. Yet environmental management differs  from a firm's production in one important respect: while a firm seeks efficient input allocation to maximize profit, an environmental planner allocates abatement efforts to render the production of damage agents as inefficient as possible. We characterize a solution to the hmultiple pollutants problem and show that the optimal policy is often a corner solution, in which abatement is focused on a single pollutant. Corner solutions may arise even in well-behaved problems with concave production functions and convex damage and cost functions....

One year after the conventional farm started the conversion process in 2002, a long term farming system monitoring was established in the Eastern region of Austria. The goal was to evaluate the performance of organic arable farming and its biotopes (flowering stripes, hedges and tree rows), and specifically their impact on biodiversity. After nine years organic farming we note a considerable increase of biodiversity in the arable fields and accompanying biotopes. Indicators applied were soil fauna, breeding birds as well as weeds. Space-time aspects, rotation and management measures as well as crop specific characteristics were influencing the development of species diversity. The development of diversity however is limited due to the intense farming in...

Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Francis, Charles; Nicolaysen, Anna Marie; Morse, Suzanne; Breland, Tor Arvid; Lieblein, Geir.
Bridging the large gap between science and experience of farmers is a crucial focus for educators who are intent on developing learning programs featuring phenomenology and practical experiences. Agroecology is emerging as an integrative and holistic approach to study agricultural and food systems. Understanding lessons learned from indigenous systems and the ecological principles on which they are built, focusing on the uniqueness of place in design and practice of farming, shifting from a discipline-specific to a holistic systems perspective, and integrating the human dimension into study of farming and food systems are all essential to building effective bridges between farmer experience and science as we practice this in university research and...

Policy options for environmentally friendly agriculture in Central and Eastern Europe: a three-track policy approach
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Znaor, Darko.
Low-input agriculture is dominant farming style in majority of the Central and East European  (CEE) countries. However, the shift from high-input agriculture as practised during the communist time to the present low-input farming was not the result of a designed policy for agricultural development but rather the consequence of a socio-political evolution from state economy to market economy.     Ten years after the transition, the agricultural policies of most Central and East European countries are still at the “crossroad”. They are characterised by a diversity of visions on the further development and concepts how to implement these visions. The agri-environmental component of the current CEE’s agricultural policies either doesn’t exist or is rather...

Background: In 2008/2009, Schmidt and colleagues published a study reporting lethal effects of the microbial Bt toxins Cry1Ab and Cry3Bb on the coccinellid biological control organisms Adalia bipunctata. Based on this study, in concert with over 30 other publications, Mon810 cultivation was banned in Germany in 2009. This triggered two commentaries and one experimental study all published in the journal ‘Transgenic Research’ that question the scientific basis of the German ban or claim to disprove the adverse effects of the Bt toxins on A. bipunctata reported by Schmidt and colleagues, respectively. This study was undertaken to investigate the underlying reasons for the different outcomes and rebuts the criticism voiced by the two other commentaries....

Cellulose pretreatment and dissolution: Selection of solvent and processing conditions
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Ghasemi, Mohammad; Vargas-Aponte, Luz V.; Tsianou, Marina; Alexandridis, Paschalis.
Efficient utilization of biomass is hindered by the recalcitrance to dissolution of semicrystalline cellulose. Pretreatment is often used to alter the structure of cellulosic biomass in order to make cellulose more accessible to solvents and enzymes. The pretreatment involves physical and/or chemical processing which affects the degree of crystallinity and size of biomass particles. We examine here the effects of (i) solvent properties, pretreatment steps and temperature, and (ii) fiber diameter and degree of crystallinity, on the kinetics of cellulose swelling and dissolution. To this end we have combined (a) experimental results on cotton fiber swelling, change in crystallinity and dissolved amount when treated under different solvent conditions, with...

Recomposição socioambiental dos espaços rurais e agricultura familiar na região metropolitana de Curitiba.
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Brandenburg, Alfio; Souza, Cimone Rozendo de.
Esse texto analisa o processo de recomposição dos espaços rurais, considerando as políticas ambientais e os diversos atores no meio rural em especial os agricultores familiares. A pesquisa foi realizada em dois universos diferenciados, localizados na Região Metropolitana de Curitiba: comunidade de Santo Amaro, formada por agricultores modernizados e a comunidade de Postinho, formada por agricultores que vivem em um cenário de precariedade social. Levando em conta que a ideia de patrimônio familiar faz parte da lógica organizacional da agricultura familiar, constatou-se que em ambos os casos ocorre um processo de repatrimonialização de parte dos recursos naturais. Na prática, verificou-se que as políticas de conservação da natureza atuam na formação de um...

Agricultural influences on carbon emissions and sequestration
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Ball, Andrew S; Pretty, Jules N.
This report was presented at the UK Organic Research 2002 Conference. Agricultural systems contribute to carbon emissions through several mechanisms: the direct use of fossil fuels in farm operations, the indirect use of embodied energy in inputs that are energy intensive to manufacture (e.g. fertilizers), and the cultivation of soils resulting in the loss of soil organic matter. However agriculture can also sequester carbon when organic matter accumulates in the soil or above-ground woody biomass acts as a permanent sink or is used as an energy source that substitutes for fossil fuels. The latest empirical data on agricultural carbon emissions and carbon sequestration opportunities in agricultural systems are reviewed and the necessary land use and...

The Contribution of Organic Livestock to Sustainable Rural Development in Sensitive Areas
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Escribano, AJ; Gaspar , P; Mesias, FJ; Escribano, M.
Organic production may contribute positively to rural development. However, there is a gap of knowledge with regard to the livestock sector that the present work is aimed at filling by means of a multidisciplinary and participatory approach. The results suggest that ‘fully organic’ holdings (organic farms that sell products as organic) have the highest potential to contribute to the rural development in the area under study. Nevertheless, its implementation requires higher levels of education and implies higher costs. Due to these difficulties, public subsidies should support such production systems. Moreover, systems with low productivity but high environmental services should be also supported, such as those extensive (either conventional or organic).

Does scale matter? Cost-effectiviness of agricultural nutrient abatement when target level varies
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Iho, Antti.
Agriculture is facing stringent requirements for nutrient loss reductions. These reductions should be done cost-effectively. For instance, the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) emphasizes cost-effectiveness in reaching good water status in European river basins by 2015. River Basin Management Plans specify the eventual reduction targets, which will differ between the basins. These differences have implications on cost-effectiveness assessments: changing the level of total abatement changes the relative shares of measures in the cost-effective allocation. In this paper we develop a model which determines the cost-effective allocation of three alternative measures to reduce phosphorus loss from fields. The model allows for comparisons with cost and...

Decomposition Analysis And Renewables In CO2 Emission Trends
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Mohlin, Kristina; Camuzeaux, Jonathan; Müller, Adrian; Schneider, Marius; Wagner, Gernot.
The decline in carbon dioxide emissions in the United States between 2007 and 2013 is actually more complex than previously thought. During that period, carbon dioxide emissions from United States energy use decreased sharply and unexpectedly, after rising for nearly two decades. At the end of the six-year period, U.S. annual carbon dioxide emissions had fallen by 11 percent– a drop the nation hadn’t experienced since the 1979 oil crisis.  Experts have typically attributed this decline to two factors: the drop in energy demand during the recession that began in 2007 and the surge in inexpensive natural gas that displaced coal in the energy mix during the same time. However, they missed another critical influence that hastened the decline in emissions just...

Does Organic Farming have Greater Potential to Adapt to Climate Change?
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Niggli, U.; Hepperly, P.; Fliessbach, A.; Maeder, P.
Agricultural production in most parts of the world will face less predictable weather conditions than mankind experienced during the intensification of agriculture over the last century. Especially South Asia and Southern Africa could suffer negative impact on several crops when no investments will be made into improved adaptiveness of the production systems. Besides specific technical measures (irrigation, breeding for drought improved or heat tolerant crops), the resilience of whole production systems is a very important focus.    Organic agriculture is a highly knowledge-based technique for manipulating complex agro-ecosystems, for breeding locally adjusted seeds and livestock, and for producing on-farm fertilizers and inexpensive nature-derived...

COMBINING FARMER EXPERIENCE AND ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE: SUMMER AGROECOSYSTEMS ANALYSIS COURSE
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Wiedenhoeft, Mary; Porter, Paul; Dehaan, Robert; Francis, Charles.
To understand multiple dimensions and connections in today’s complex farming systems, it is essential to move beyond the narrow disciplinary focus found in most university agriculture courses and learn from farmers who are intimately integrated with farm decisions. In many ways, the classical agriculture department is a human construct developed for our convenience, and as such it scarcely represents an ecological structure operating on farms. To adequately delve into the mechanisms of crop/weed, crop/animal, product/market, and myriad other interactions involved in agriculture, it is essential that we draw on methods from the biophysical and social sciences to help us understand the human activity system that is farming. For more than a decade, we have...

OCIS Public Goods Tool Development
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Gerrard, Catherine L; Smith, Laurence; Padel, Susanne; Pearce, Bruce; Hitchings, Roger; Measures, Mark; Cooper, Nick.
There has recently been an increase in interest amongst policy-makers in the question of whether farming provides a “public good” beyond the simple production of food, which justifies support from, for instance, EU agricultural policy. Benefits such as an improved environment or better water quality can be perceived to be public goods. It is the provision of these sorts of benefits which may be used in the future to justify continued support of the agricultural sector through subsidies.    Given the current level of interest in this topic Natural England, with the approval of Defra, through OCIS (Organic Conversion Information Service), wished to create a tool which could be used by an advisor or an informed land owner to assess the public good provided by...

Can Green Growth Really Work and what are the True (Socio-)Economics of Climate Change?
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Hoffmann, Ulrich.
Many economists and policy makers advocate a fundamental shift towards "green growth" as the new, qualitatively-different growth paradigm, largely based on enhanced material/resource/energy efficiency, structural changes towards a service-dominated economy and a switch in the energy mix favouring renewable forms of energy.  "Green growth" may work well in creating new growth impulses with reduced environmental load and facilitating related technological and structural change. But can it also mitigate climate change at the required scale (i.e. significant, absolute and permanent decline of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at global level) and pace (i.e. in no more than two decades)?  This paper argues that growth, technological, population-expansion and...

Autores: Hatakka, Tarja; Mäkelä-Kurtto, Ritva; Tarvainen, Timo; Laakso, Pirkko; Laitonen, Annukka; Eurola, Merja.
The main aim of this investigation was to study trace element contents in the Finnish arable land on crop and dairy farms. The crop farms were located on clay soils and the dairy farms on finesand soils. The agua regia extractable trace elements in the top- and subsoil of the clay soils at the crop farms were two to three times those of the finesand soils at the dairy farms. Most of the elements were significantly correlated with the clay content.     Quantitatively more Cd, Pb and Hg enriched in the clay soils on the crop farms in southwestern Finland than in the finesand soils on the dairy farms in Ostrobothnia. However, dairy farming seemed to enrich the topsoil with more Cr, Cu, Se, V and Zn than crop farming, on average.

The EU funded SOLID project supports research which will contribute to the competitiveness of organic and low input dairy systems, and increase their sustainability. There are many aspects of the sustainability of dairy farms, relating to economic, environmental and social dimensions, and methods of animal husbandry can affect all of these. A UK spreadsheet based tool for rapid assessment of the whole farm was adapted for application on a range of organic and low input dairy farms across the EU. This tool was used to assess approximately ten organic dairy farms in each of four EU countries. Data on farm management practices collected in face to face interviews with farmers were entered and the tool then calculated a composite score for  each of 11 separate...

Variations of energy intensities and potential for improvements in energy utilization on conventional and organic Norwegian dairy farms
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Koesling, Matthias; Hansen, Sissel; Schueler, Maximilian.
Due to the limited resources of fossil fuels and the need to mitigate climate change, energy utilization for all human activity has to be improved. The objective of this study was to analyse the correlation between energy intensity on dairy farms and production mode, to examine the influence of machinery and buildings on energy intensity, and to find production related solutions for conventional and organic dairy farms to reduce energy intensity. Data from ten conventional and ten organic commercial dairy farms in Norway from 2010-2012 were used to calculate the amount of embodied energy as the sum of primary energy used for production of inputs from cradle-to-farm gates using a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach. Energy intensities of dairy farms were...

A PRACTICE APPLICABLE MODEL FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF MANAGEMENT IMPACT ON ORGANIC MATTER IN ARABLE SOILS
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Brock, Christopher; Leithold, Günter.
We present the HU-MOD-2 model for the assessment of management impact on organic matter levels in arable soils. The model aims at optimal applicability as a management support tool in framing practice and therefore requires only easily available input data. In validation, the tool proved to be capable of giving a rough estimate on soil organic matter changes in arable soils. Taking into account the low demand for input data, the modeling error seems tolerable for a practice applicable decision support tool.

Life cycle impact of Swiss arable cropping and forage production systems on global warming
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Nemecek, Dr. Thomas; Huguenin-Elie, Dr. Olivier; Dubois, Dr. David; Gaillard, Dr. Gérard.
The global warming potential caused by organic farming systems was analysed for all stages of the life cycle up to the farm gate for Swiss arable and forage production systems using the life cycle assessment method. The global warming potential of organic farming was 6 to 37% lower than that of the integrated production, the main reason being the ban of mineral nitrogen fertilisers in organic farming. A further improvement in organic systems could be achieved by a better management of the nitrogen cycle, the introduction of low tillage systems and an enhanced yield, leading to lower greenhouse gas emission per product unit.

Results are presented of a model study comparing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in organic and conventional farming systems in the Netherlands. Calculations have been performed for model farms, designed on the basis of current organic and conventional farming practices. Energy use and greenhouse gas emissions per hectare on organic farms are lower than on conventional farms, particularly in dairy farming. Energy use and greenhouse gas emissions per Mg of milk in organic dairy farming is about 80 and 90%, respectively of that in conventional dairy farming. Energy use and greenhouse gas emission per Mg product in organic crop production is 5-40 and 7-17%, respectively higher than in conventional systems. The wide ranges found in crop production...

Incidences des conversions à l’agriculture biologique dans les systèmes arboricoles de la région PACA  Malgré les appels au développement de l’agriculture biologique (AB), les surfaces françaises cultivées en AB restent faibles (2.46%). L’utilisation intensive de pesticides en arboriculture en fait un système de production dont les conversions sont relativement difficiles. Il convient donc de s’interroger sur les répercussions engendrées par la conversion à l’arboriculture biologique.  Afin de mieux comprendre les difficultés lors du passage à l’AB, l’incidence de la conversion est étudiée sur la globalité du fonctionnement de l’exploitation, par une évaluation multi-critères.

Herbicide impact on non-target plant reproduction: what are the toxicological and ecological implications?
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Boutin, Céline; Strandberg, Beate; Carpenter, David; Mathiassen, Solvejg Kopp; Thomas, P.J.
Declining plant diversity and abundance have been widely reported in agroecosystems of North America and Europe. Intensive use of herbicides within cropfields and the associated drift in adjacent habitats are partly responsible for this change. The objectives of this work were to quantify the phenological stages of non-target plants in in-situ field situations during herbicide spray and to compare plant susceptibility at different phenological stages. Results demonstrated that a large number of non-target plants had reached reproductive stages during herbicide spray events in woodlots and hedgerows, both in Canada and Denmark where vegetation varies considerably. In addition, delays in flowering and reduced seed production occurred widely on plants sprayed...

Autores: Tomasek, Jaroslav; Dvorak, Petr.
There were tested water extracts from Syringa vulgaris and Pyrethrum parthenium. They did not prove significant differences of decrease of the air attack of Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata), the activity of eggs – laying and the occurrence of larvae in comparison to the control. Interesting trends of lower-eggs lying and a lower larvae occurrence were discovered. The liquid spray against the late blight (Phytophthora infestans) did not significantly decrease neither occurrence of late blight or the yield.  The production of the bio-potatoes is only 0,2 % of all potatoes production in the Czech Republic. The aim of this experiment was to try alternative methods of regulation of Colorado potato beetle and late blight (the biggest harmfull...

Hospodaření na trvalých travních porostech a využívání agroenviromentálních programů v ekologickém zemědělství v ČR
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Moudry, Jan (Jr.); Friebel, Ludvik; Konvalina, Petr.
Setrvalé zemědělství je v současné době výrazně podporováno Evropskou unií, což se pozitivně odráží i na vývoji ekologického zemědělství členských států. I v České republice je u podílu ekologického hospodaření patrný rostoucí trend, přičemž nezanedbatelný podíl na tom má i nastavení dotačních titulů. Přestože by však tyto měly být vybalancovány takovým způsobem, aby v dostatečné míře podpořily rozvoj šetrného hospodaření ve všech směrech, dochází v ČR v EZ k vysokému nárůstu hospodaření na trvalých travních porostech (TTP) za současného útlumu využívání orné půdy. Článek se zabývá rozborem hospodaření výběrového souboru ekologických podniků, se zaměřením na hospodaření na TTP a využívání agroenvironmentálních programů.

Autores: Knudsen, Marie Trydeman; Halberg, Niels; Olesen, Jørgen E.; Byrne, John; Iyer, Venkatesh; Toly, Noah.
Increasing globalization affects agricultural production and trade and has consequences for the sustainability of both conventional and organic agriculture.     During the last decades, agricultural production and yields have been increasing along with global fertilizer and pesticide consumption. This development has been especially pronounced in the industrialized countries and some developing countries such as China, where cereal yields have increased a remarkable twofold and 4.5-fold respectively since 1961. In those countries, food security has increased, a greater variety of food has been offered and diets have changed towards a greater share of meat and dairy products. However, this development has led to a growing disparity among agricultural...

Seed Sovereignty - How can organic agriculture contribute to the development and protection of the seed, a case study of Nepal
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Petersen, Maja Eline.
The seed system has changed a lot over the past decades with the control over the seeds lying more and more in the hands of a few large companies and less in the hands of the farmers. This has affected the genetic diversity as well as the farmers’ rights. Nepal is a country with a high plant diversity. There is an increase in seeds imported to the country, especially hybrid seeds, which threatens the diversity and the seed sovereignty. Organic agriculture based on the four principles of health, ecology, fairness and care can help counteract this development and increase the seed sovereignty by being a natural driver of local seed development and the development and maintenance of seed diversity.

Evaluating the impacts of agricultural innovations
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Devaux-Spatarakis, Agathe; Quiédeville, Sylvain.
Since the 2000s, researchers engaged in innovation processes are having to respond to the demand of donors, national research and development agencies and civil society that their research should be open to evaluation. In order to meet this demand, agricultural researchers have to use tools and methods to help them determine the effects of their proposals, not only at agronomic level, but also on the economic, social and environmental dimensions. This chapter presents the different evaluation methods that can be used, as well as the trade-offs to be made in order to choose the approach that is most appropriate for the innovation under study and for issues raised by the evaluation. Two case studies on the use of methods to evaluate the impact of research,...

Vegetable Production in sack: an alternative approach to building urban agriculture
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Hossain, Shaikh Tanveer.
Bangladesh is one of the countries vulnerable because of recent climate change. A country needs around 25% of its land to be covered by forest to maintain its ecological balance, but here the percentage is much less. Urban dwellers have hardly seen any greenery around them and every inch of land is occupied by various types of infrastructure. The solution lies in planting as many trees as possible, and the only place to do that seems to be on the rooftop or balcony and in slum areas. Vegetable production by the sack gardening method is an effective and innovative technology in Bangladesh. It has received positive attention from urban household communities. It is an alternative vegetable garden for utilizing small land areas or space. Individual families...

The impacts associated with alternative methods of agricultural production, and the factors that drive their adoption, are critically dependent on the scale at which they are applied. Using organic farming as a case study, this project operating from 2006–2009 in the UK, will undertake an integrated assessment of scale effects by studying matched sets of farms situated in landscapes with high and low concentrations of organic farming. Clusters of organic and conventional farms to work with have been identified in the South West and Midlands region of England.

Comparison of energy and greenhouse gas balances of biogas with other transport biofuel options based on domestic agricultural biomass in Finland
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Tuomisto, Ms Hanna L.; Helenius, Prof. Juha.
Biofuels have been promoted as a way to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but it is questionable whether they indeed do so. The study compared energy and GHG balances of transport biofuels produced in Finnish conditions. Energy and GHG balances were calculated from a life cycle perspective for biogas when timothy-clover and reed canary grass silages and green manure of an organic farm were used as a raw material. The results were compared with published data on barley-based ethanol, rape methyl ester (biodiesel) and biowaste-based biogas. The energy input for biogas was 22–37% of the output depending on the raw material. The GHG emissions from field-based biogas were 21–36% of emissions from fossil-based fuels. The largest energy input was used in the...

Autores: Thomazini, André; Azevedo, Humberto Carlos Almeida; Mendonça, Eduardo Sá.
The southern region Espirito Santo state is characterized by topographic strong wavy, with highly weathered soils and low fertility. Most of the land of family farms requires intensive soil use and, consequently, promotes soil loss, water and nutrients by erosion. Coffee conilon and grazing are the main systems of food production in the region. The aim of this study was to estimate, during the rainy season, soil loss and nutrient of areas under coffee cultivation systems under conservation (and agroforestry with management of soil cover) and conventional tillage (non-coverage soil).

Effect of four plant species on soil 15N-access and herbage yield in temporary agricultural grasslands
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Pirhofer-Walzl, Karin; Eriksen, Jørgen; Rasmussen , Jim; Høgh-Jensen, Henning; Søegaard, Karin; Rasmussen, Jesper.
Positive plant diversity-productivity relationships have been reported for experimental semi-natural grasslands (Cardinale et al. 2006; Hector et al. 1999; Tilman et al. 1996) as well as temporary agricultural grasslands (Frankow-Lindberg et al. 2009; Kirwan et al. 2007; Nyfeler et al. 2009; Picasso et al. 2008). Generally, these relationships are explained, on the one hand, by niche differentiation and facilitation (Hector et al. 2002; Tilman et al. 2002) and, on the other hand, by greater probability of including a highly productive plant species in high diversity plots (Huston 1997). Both explanations accept that diversity is significant because species differ in characteristics, such as root architecture, nutrient acquisition and water use efficiency,...

Autores: Müller, Adrian; Olesen, Joergen; Smith, Laurence; Davis, Joan; Dytrtová, Karolína; Gattinger, Andreas; Lampkin, Nic; Niggli, Urs.
Climate change mitigation is urgent, and adaptation to climate change is crucial, particularly in agriculture, where food security is at stake. Agriculture, currently responsible for 20-30% of global greenhouse gas emissions (counting direct and indirect agricultural emissions), can however contribute to both climate change mitigation and adaptation. The main mitigation potential lies in the capacity of agricultural soils to sequester CO2 through building organic matter. This potential can be realized by employing sustainable agricultural practices, such as those commonly found within organic farming systems. Examples of these practices are the use of organic fertilizers and crop rotations including legume leys and cover crops. Mitigation is also achieved...

Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Turtola, Eila; Alakukku, Laura; Uusitalo, Risto; Kaseva, Antti.
Conservation tillage practices were tested against autumn mouldboard ploughing for differences in physical properties of soil, surface runoff, subsurface drainflow and soil erosion. The study (1991 -2001) was performed on a gently (2%) sloping clayey soil of southern Finland, with two replicates of the tillage treatments on 0.5 ha plots. The annual shares of surface runoff of the total flow (surface runoff + subsurface drainflow) were 8–42% for ploughing (depth 20–23 cm), 36–66% for shallow autumn stubble cultivation (depth 5–8 cm) and 36–82% for soil left untilled over winter. Surface runoff increased with decrease in the tillage intensity, and in line with the values of depressional water storage, macroporosity and saturated hydraulic conductivity....

Life cycle assessment of organic and conventional arable  crop rotations -  focusing on greenhouse gas emissions.    Five arable crop rotations in long-term field trials were  investigated; four organic and one conventional - in three  years on three different locations in Denmark. The organic crop rotations represented alternative scenarios for outphasing conventional slurry in organic systems.    Crops from rotations with grass-clover for biogas in one out of four years had the lowest carbon footprint per kg crop DM. Including soil carbon changes in the life cycle assessment affected the results markedly.

In field, 6% higher yields of dry matter were achieved at the second harvest by such addition to the manure. For the first harvest, no effects were found of marble application. This may be due to the manure being stored for a longer time for the application in spring, whereas manure applied after the first harvest was freshly collected.  In open containers, slurry from pigs and dairy cows, digested dairy cow slurry and digestate from a biogas plant (Ecopro) treating sewage sludge, household waste and fish waste was studied. Substrates with or without...

Organic farming and climate change: major conclusions of the Clermont-Ferrand seminar (2008)
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: AUBERT, C.; BELLON, S.; BENOIT, M.; CAPITAINE, M.; SEGUIN, B.; WARLOP, F.; VALLEIX, S.
This seminar confirmed that less greenhouse gas (GHG) is emitted per unit area under organic agriculture than under conventional agriculture, and that our eating patterns have a strong impact on factors involved in climate change. Moreover, it shed new light on and contributed original information to a variety of fields. The two major advantages of organic farming in terms of the mitigation of GHG emissions are its ability to store carbon in the ground and the non-use of synthetic nitrogen fertilisers. Means for improving practices and research priorities were identified.

Effects of animal manure application on springtails (Collembola) in perennial ley
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Pommeresche, Reidun; Løes, Anne-Kristin; Torp, Torfinn.
The density and diversity of springtails (Collembola) in the upper soil layer (0–3.8 cm) were studied in a perennial grass-clover ley in NW Norway during April–June 2012. The study was part of a field experiment comparing yields and soil characteristics after application of non-digested slurry (NS) versus anaerobically digested slurry (DS) from dairy cows. In total for three sampling dates, 39 species of springtails were identified. In the Control plots receiving no manure, the density level was around 30 000 individuals (ind.) m2 throughout the whole season. Three days after slurry application (40 t ha -1), the density of springtails had dropped significantly; from 55 214 to 7410 ind. m2 in the NS treatment and from 41 914 to 10 260 ind. m2 in the DS...

A questão ambiental na origem do problema agrário brasileiro e o caso da região Sul.
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Nascimento, Humberto Miranda do.
A especificidade do processo de apropriação privada de terras públicas no Brasil, após 1850, é o ponto de origem dos problemas ambientais atuais no espaço rural, isso porque foi desse período em diante que a ausência de limites ambientais se tornou a regra principal da aliança entre a concentração fundiária e o progresso técnico aplicado à agricultura, comprometendo dramaticamente outras formas de acesso, bem como o uso produtivo ou não produtivo das terras e seus recursos naturais. O estudo de caso realizado na região sudoeste do Paraná, no Sul do Brasil, no entanto, demonstra que, apesar de uma estrutura agrária mais democrática, a regra de ausência de limites ambientais também é reiterada. Naquela região, o impulso básico à degradação ambiental deve-se...

Does organic livestock husbandry uses less energy and produces less greenhouse gas than conventional husbandry? Analysis in   lactating sheep farms
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Dakpo, Hervé; LAIGNEL, G; Roulenc, M.; BENOIT, M.
We have undertaken in this work an evaluation of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the Non-Renewable Energy (NRE) consumption on a sample of 1250 farms-years, operating in sheep meat production, in either organic (OA) or conventional (CA) agriculture, over the period 1987 to 2012, based on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method. There was no significant difference for NRE consumption (79.6 MJ in OA and 79.7 MJ in CA, per kg of carcass); indeed the gains in OA thanks to a lower use of chemical fertilizers and purchase of lesser concentrates feed were offset by the higher level of mechanization (here fuels and equipment). For GHG emissions, we found a significant difference of 5% beneficial to organic production systems (31.1 vs. 32.7 kg CO2 eq/kg...

The role of the carbon market in transformation of agriculture towards organic and sustainability
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Schwank, Othmar.
1.  The contribution of organic agriculture to emission reduction in a carbon con-strained world  Agriculture is among the five sectors which will have to substantially contribute to the stabiliza-tion of global greenhouse gas emissions in the next 10-15 years. This is one of the messages from the IPCC’s 4th Assessment Report to the Bali Conference and its roadmap adopted in De-cember 2007. Organic farming reduces embedded energy demand on the input side, stores more carbon in soils and creates a soil structure that retains water more effectively. Most proc-esses face strong site-specific variability so that cultivation practices are too complex to be certi-fied under the Kyoto Mechanism CDM. The voluntary carbon market as well as the increasing attention...

Autores: Pommeresche, Reidun.
Hvordan partikler og porer i jorda er ordnet i forhold til hverandre bestemmer jordstrukturen. Leire, silt og sandkorn danner sammen med organisk materiale ulike typer aggregater og hulrom i jorda. Planterøtter og jordliv limer og vever dette sammen og danner store, synlige jordaggregater som vi kan se som rosinstore «gryn». Jord med mange slike aggregater sier vi har god «grynstruktur». Biologiske, kjemiske og fysiske prosesser er involvert. Denne fagartikkelen fokuserer på de biologiske prosessene.De abiotiske prosessene er viktigst når de minste aggregatene dannes, mens de biologiske prosessene betyr mer for dannelsen av de aller største.

Degraded areas are frequent in vineyards, even if managed by organic farming, mainly caused by soil truncation, soil erosion, or salts enrichment. Recovering strategies implemented in 19 degraded vineyards in 5 countries within the RESOLVE project concerned: (i) composted organic amendments, or seeding of cover crops (including legumes) for (ii) green manure or (iii) dry mulch. The relationships between vineyard management and pedo-climatic conditions are useful to better understand other contributions dealing with RESOLVE project reported in the present special issue. The results suggested that the nature of degradation requires optimum seedbed preparation to grow green manure crops. Whereas dry mulching plants needs less tillage operations (neither...

Effect of false flax oilcake in thermophilic biogas production
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Paulsen, Hans-Marten; Xiaming, Wei; Sun, Yongming; Rahmann, Gerold; Böhm, Herwart.
False flax oilcake has been found to be suitable for anaerobic fermentation in mixtures with cattle slurry and straw. In organic farms, digestion of cattle dung and wheat straw with 8 % dry matter content mixed with 5 % of total material weight false flax oilcake is a feasible option for utilizing false flax oilcake to produce farm-own renewable energy and offering farm-own high nitrogen (ammonia) content fertilizer (2.48 g kg-1 wet wt).  In field digesters, the biogas yield of 8 % dry matter pure material under thermophilic condition was 0.24 l g-1 VS fed. The biogas yield could be increased by mixing 5 % false flax oilcake to get 0.37 l g-1 VS fed and a VS conversion efficiency with 0.83 l g-1 VS destroyed. Under laboratory controlled conditions, the...

Autores: Xie, Yue; Tittarelli, Fabio; von Fragstein, Peter; Bavec, Martina; Canali, Stefano; Kristensen, Hanne Lakkenborg.
The effect of introduction strategy for living mulches (LMs) to reduce the potential nitrate leaching was investigated when grown with vegetables with high nitrogen (N) demand and low use efficiency in four European countries: Italy, Slovenia, Germany and Denmark over 2 yr. The plant N uptake and soil nitrate N content at harvest, in the autumn, and in the following spring were measured below open-pollinated and hybrid cultivars of cauliflower and leek crops. The cultivars performed differently over the 2 yr. In Italy and Slovenia, when LM of burr medic or white clover was broad sown (addition design ADD) at the same time as crop transplanting, the N uptake of crops was hampered without increasing the total aboveground N accumulation. Delaying LM sowing by...

Management affects nitrate leaching from organic farms
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Askegaard, Margrethe; Eriksen, J.
Management decisions significantly affect nitrate-N leaching (N-leaching) from comparable organic fields. The main concern is field management during autumn and themanagement of grass leys. After ploughing-in fertility building crops, like grass-clover leys, effective catch crops are important during autumn and winter for at least two years on sandy soils. On farms with grazing animals the occurrence of “hot spots” should be avoided. These hot spots develop with uneven concentrations of animal manure combined with limited N-uptake in the ley. Management measures to minimize N-leachingmay conflicts with the farmers aim to produce high quality feed and/or to combat yield limiting perennial weeds. It may also conflict with the organic regulations for the...

This study examined the environmental impact of the three common organic pig husbandry systems, indoor (n = 24), partly outdoor (n = 30), and outdoor (n = 10), in eight European countries. Global warming (GWP), acidification (AP), and eutrophication potential (EP) was assessed per 1000 kg pig live weight on 64 farrow-to-finish pig production chains (cradle to farm gate). GWP, AP, and EP varied greatly, and the most important source was feed production, followed by housing. GWP did not differ between systems (p = 0.934), but AP in indoor systems and EP in outdoor systems were higher than in partly outdoor systems (p = 0.006 and p = 0.010, respectively). The higher AP in indoor systems can mainly be explained by NH3 arising from manure spreading, while...

Measuring and improving the environmental performance of organic farming
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Müller, Adrian; Meier, Matthias; Schader, Christian; Gattinger, Andreas; Steffens, Markus.
There is a large and growing body of literature comparing the environmental performance of organic and conventional farming in specific settings, either on farm or product level. However, how one assesses ‘environmental performance’ is a complex and multifaceted question, and one-dimensional indicators tend to neglect key aspects of production systems. This chapter evaluates a number of multidimensional methods of assessment, including Life Cycle Assessment, Productivity Analysis, multi-criteria assessment approaches and food systems modelling. It is concluded that the assessment of environmental performance must go beyond the level of production, and address consistency and sufficiency aspects that emerge at the consumption stage. The organic sector has a...

Planterøtter, meitemark og andre organismer som lever i jorda er også viktige ved at de omdanner organisk materiale til jord og næring, samt flytter alt dette rundt i jorda. Jordkvalitet kan beskrives ved jordas biologisk aktivitet, grynstruktur, farge og lukt. Grav et profil i jorda og se etter meitemark, rotvekst og om røttene går langt ned i jorda. Se også etter knoller (med N2-fikserende bakterier) på røttene til belgvekster (kløver, vikke ol) og sjekk om knollene er rødlige inni (=aktive ). Alt dette indikerer god jordkvalitet. Test jordstrukturen (dårlig, middels eller god) og kvaliteten på jorda di ved å slippe en jordblokk fra 1 m høyde.

Autores: López-Rayo, Sandra; Laursen, Kristian H.; Lekfeldt, Jonas D.S.; Grazie, Fabio D.; Magid, Jakob.
Urban waste products such as sewage sludge and organic household waste compost have a potential as fertilizers in agriculture, but evidence from historical field experiments performed in England and Germany with sewage sludge as fertilizer pointed towards negative effects of sludge-derived heavy metal accumulation on soil microbiota and plants. However, sewage sludge has improved in quality during the last half century and source separation of organic household waste has been shown to decrease the concentration of heavy metals in composts made from organic waste. This alongside a growing awareness on the benefits of an increased degree a recycling of nutrients from urban areas to agricultural soils led to the establishment of the CRUCIAL field trial in...

At present, agriculture faces the unprecedented challenge of securing food supplies for a rapidly growing human population, while seeking to minimize adverse impacts on the environment and to reduce the use of non-renewable resources and energy. A shift towards sustainable agricultural production entails the adoption of more system-oriented strategies that include farmderived inputs and productivity based on ecological processes and functions (Garnett and Godfray, 2012). Sustainable agricultural systems involve the traditional knowledge and entrepreneurial skills of farmers (IAASTD, 2008).  System-oriented sustainable practices include organic farming and low external input sustainable agriculture (LEISA). Elements of agroecology - such as integrated pest...

Reduced tillage and green manures for sustainable cropping systems - Overview of the TILMAN-ORG project
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Mäder, Paul.
Reduced tillage and green manures are environmentally friendly practices that increase levels of soil organic matter and biological activity, improve soil stability, and reduce fuel consumption and may mitigate the climate impact of crop production. The avoidance of deep ploughing is successfully practiced as no-tillage agriculture in conventional farming systems. However, these no-tillage systems rely on herbicides for weed control and mineral fertilisers for plant nutrients. As these inputs are banned in organic farming the TILMAN-ORG project focuses on efficient weed management strategies and improvement of nutrient management. Because there is little information on greenhouse gas emissions under reduced tillage in organic farming, greenhouse gas flux...

Bringt „Öko“ mehr Humus? Einschätzung der aktuellen Humusbilanzen der ökologisch und der  konventionell bewirtschafteten Ackerfläche in Deutschland
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Brock, Christopher; Leithold, Günter.
We calculated humus balances for organic and conventional cropland in Germany and compared them to each other in order to find out whether organic farming comprises a better humus reproduction than conventional farming, as commonly assumed. Applying a dynamic humus balance model that was parametrized based on data from agrostatistical reports we yielded comparable balances for the two farming systems. The reason was mainly a considerably lower stocking on organic farms, and the low N supply. However: a superior cropland structure brought the balance to the same level as with conventional agriculture despite of these factors. Due to shortcomings in model parametrization caused by the available data base, results may not be over-interpreted. Still, it can be...

Bedeutung der funktionellen Einheit für die Ökobilanzierung in der Landwirtschaft
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Guggenberger, T.; Herndl, M.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) gains increasingly in technical and legal importance. Research groups getting involved with this topic have to adhere to the technical standard. The definition of appropriate reference values, indicated as functional units, is of special importance in this concern. LCA is often derived from the industrial sector, where it is one-dimensionally treated via output of companies. In the agricultural sector at least the problem of land use management has additionally to be considered. This paper shows the development of a convenient solution for this purpose in agricultural consultancy.

Assessment of the environmental sustainability of organic farming: Definitions, indicators and the major challenges
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Halberg, Niels.
The debate over agricultural sustainability continues due to the challenges of reducing externalities of intensive farming methods and preserving vital natural capital, but many definitions of sustainability are too wide to allow for a prioritized assessment. This paper uses a more narrow definition of agricultural sustainability focusing on the functional integrity of a system to highlight specific aspects of vital importance for the long-term resilience and reproducibility of agricultural systems. Key areas of resource sufficiency are also identified. Based on a review of scientific literature the relative sustainability of organic agriculture is assessed with a focus on environmental impact and resourceuse in Europe and North America. While there are...

Carbon sequestration potential of organic agriculture in northern Europe - a modelling approach
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Foereid, Bente; Høgh-Jensen, Henning.
Decline in carbon content in agricultural soils contributes both to climate change and to soil fertility problems. The CENTURY element dynamics simulation model was tested and adapted for Northern European agricultural conditions using long-term datasets from Askov experimental farm in southern Denmark. The part of the model dealing with decomposition was tested in isolation using a bare fallow experiment and it could predict soil organic matter levels with high accuracy. In the cropping experiments predictions were less accurate. The crop production was not accurately predicted. Predictions were more accurate on loamy than on sandy soils. The model was used to predict the effect of conversion to organic agriculture on carbon sequestration as soil organic...

The interest of organic farmers in adopting conservation agriculture principles, including minimal soil disturbance, permanent soil cover and crop rotation has been growing since the early 2000s. However, currently there is no network for organic farmers practicing conservation agriculture, and a lack of knowledge on how organic farmers implement conservation agriculture in practice. Consequently, few technical references are available for organic farmers when they start applying conservation agriculture practices, in particular on controlling weeds without the use of herbicides. The main objectives of this study were: (1) to explore the diversity of conservation agriculture techniques (i.e., reduced tillage, no-tillage and green manures) practiced among...

Policy instruments on water protection of the selected European countries in relation to organic agriculture
Provedor de dados: Organic Eprints
Autores: Znaor, Darko.
Introduction  Most agricultural operations, such as soil tillage, manuring, grazing, and irrigation, pose a serious threat to water quality. Agriculture is a heavy water user and a serious water polluter (nutrients, pesticides, salts, pathogens, heavy metals, oxygen-depleting and radioactive substances, etc.). In addition, agriculture threatens water habitats. The UN “Convention for the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes” ratified at Helsinki in 1992 obliges the signatory countries to further prevent, control and reduce water pollution from point and non-point sources. The implementation of the Convention is co-ordinated by the UN Economic Commission for Europe. In October 1999, this organisation commissioned a study...

Autores: Berck,   Peter; Hess,   Peter.
This paper explains the development and implementation of a methodology for assessing the economic impacts of large-scale environmental regulations. The development process began with a literature review surveying channels through which environmental regulations might influence economic performance. Avenues deemed suitable were incorporated into a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the California economy. This model is based on the California Department of Finance's Dynamic Revenue Analysis Model (DRAM). Modifications to DRAM for the current project include a revised sectoring scheme that features industries of particular regulatory interest, revamped data matrices that accommodate this new sectoring scheme, a new air pollution module,...

A note on the environmental costs of aggregates
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Berck,   Peter.
The opening of a new site for the production of aggregates has both direct and indirect impacts on the environment. The indirect impacts include changes in the environmental costs of hauling aggregates and possible changes in the level of construction activity. In this note, we show that the most likely effect of a new aggregate site is to reduce the truck miles used for aggregate hauling, which is an environmental benefit. We also show that the change in construction activity induced by a new site is likely to be extremely small.
