| Organic farming has been proposed as a solution to foster agricultural sustainability and mitigate the negative environmental impacts of conventional farming. This study assessed N losses and soil surface N balances in conventional and organic farming systems in a sub-humid and semi-humid (Chuka and Thika) sites in Kenya. Nitrate–N (NO3−–N) leached was trapped at 1 m depth using the Self Integrating Accumulator core method and the changes in mineral-N were assessed at different soil depths and different crop growth stages. Both conventional and organic farming systems lost substantial amounts of NO3−–N at the early growth stages of all the crops. Cumulative NO3−–N leached was similar in all the farming systems in each cropping season. More NO3−–N was... |

| The African continent has experienced significant growth in the organic sector in recent years. This paper draws from in-depth interviews with fifty organic farmers across four selected countries – Egypt, Ghana, Kenya and Uganda – to document the socio-economic impacts associated with the uptake of organic farming practices. Our results demonstrate five benefits for farmers, farm families and surrounding communities arising from entry into organics: increased farm incomes; expanded marketing opportunities; empowerment of farmers; health benefits, and; sustaining environments. Our paper concludes with a series of recommendations to assist the on-going expansion of organics in Africa. |

| Organic food has been described as the world’s fastest growing food sector, and many countries have now set targets for conversion to Organic Agriculture. The stated goal of the organic movement is the adoption worldwide of Organic Agriculture. That task has a long path to travel, with Organic Agriculture currently accounting for 1.8% of worldwide agricultural land. One strategy for success in any endeavour, is: find out who "the winners” are, identify what they are doing, and do that; and there is a corollary to this maxim. Which countries are leaders in the adoption of Organic Agriculture? In the absence of a single comprehensive index of organic-ness, this paper identifies 12 indices of organic-ness, and presents the leadership by country, for each of... |

| L’objectif de l’article est de faire une analyse financière comparative de la production du coton biologique et du coton conventionnel ainsi que les déterminants de leur rentabilité. L’étude a été conduite dans les communes de Glazoué, Banikoara et Tanguiéta appartenant à trois zones agro écologiques différentes. Dans chacune de ces communes, les données été collectées, dans des villages produisant les deux types de coton, sur un échantillon aléatoire stratifié de 215 producteurs (111 producteurs conventionnels et 104 biologiques). Il ressort des résultats obtenus que le coton biologique et le coton conventionnel sont rentables dans les trois zones d’étude. Le coton biologique a présenté les meilleures performances financières. D’une manière générale... |

| De agrarische sector in Nigeria bloeide, totdat de olieindustrie opkwam. Van die industrie heeft slechts een klein deel van de bevolking geprofiteerd. Men komt nu tot het inzicht dat landbouw weer één van de pijlers van de economie zou moeten worden, en dat biologische land- bouw daarin een belangrijk aandeel moet hebben. Nigeria heeft nog veel te winnen. |

| Afrika, dieser grosse, vielseitige und verkannte Kontinent kämpft zurzeit heftig um die Ausrichtung seiner Landwirtschafts – und Ernährungspolitik. Die Lage ist dramatisch. Südlich des Sahel leiden von den knapp 800 Mio Menschen mindestens ein Drittel an Hunger und Misere. Ein Grossteil der Ackerböden und Weidegründe ist stark beschädigt und gibt nur noch Bruchteile der üblichen Erträge her. Wälder und Savannenlandschaften sowie Biodiversität stehen unter Dauerdruck und fallen ungebremst dem Landhunger zum Opfer. Hat die biologische Landwirtschaft das Potenzial, wesentlich zur Ernährungssicherheit, zum guten Leben und zur Regeneration der Bodenfruchtbarkeit beizutragen? Das Forschungsinstitut für biologischen Landbau (FiBL) hat gute Gründe, daran zu... |

| The organic farm sector itself is basically organized around a minor number of large farm enterprises, or various supply organizations, based on purely commercial, community, faith or simply farmer cooperation involved in packaging, domestic or export sales. 35 farm enterprises covered the organic production in Kenya’s eight provinces. More than half are concentrated in the Central Province, where also most of the outgrowers are connected in relation to the labour intensive crop production within horticulture. A total of 1’811 farm outgrowers (smallholders of various sizes) were included to secure the ‘critical mass of supply’ – either for export or national market chains. The total organic area is distinguished between what is agricultural land and what... |

| Science should be capable of covering issues as diverse as farming systems, technology, innovation, climate change adaptation, poverty alleviation, extension, policy and practice, as they all relate to sustainable agriculture and development. Some years ago, the call for a new farming systems approach was raised to accommodate the principles of interdisciplinary, systems thinking and participatory research. Society calls for systems performance that provides stability and sustainability (SDGs!), multi-scale and territorial approaches and looks for solutions for critical issues such as employment, migration and inclusion/exclusion at the global level (World Society). We propose here a way in dealing with this complexity by addressing the mentioned problem... |

| Ob verantwortungsvoller Tourismus, nachhaltiger Fisch oder regionale Lebensmittel – der Außer-Haus-Markt in Western Cape ist äußerst dynamisch und damit im landesweiten Vergleich auf der Überholspur. Erst kürzlich erfolgte die Einführung fair gehandelter Produkte auf dem heimischen Markt. Südafrika ist weltweit das erste Land, das Fair Trade Produkte von nun an nicht nur exportiert, sondern auch selbst konsumiert. Und ein Fair Trade Zertifizierungsprogramm für die Tourismusbranche ist in seiner Art einzigartig. Vor allem die Provinzregierung von Western Cape und die Stadtverwaltung von Kapstadt übernehmen hinsichtlich nachhaltiger Entwicklung eine Vorbildfunktion innerhalb Südafrikas. 2008 veröffentlichte die Provinzregierung ihren ersten... |

| Increased per capita food production in the tropics is closely tied to soil organic matter and water management, timely nitrogen (N) supply and crop N use efficiency (NUE) which are influenced by farmingsystems. However, there is lack of data on the effect of organic farming systems on NUE and how thiscompares to conventional farming systems under tropical conditions. Therefore, the objectives of thisstudy were to determine the effect of conventional and organic farming systems at low and high management intensities on N uptake and N use efficiency of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), maize (Zea mays L.),cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. Capitata), kale (Brassica oleracea var. Acephala) and Swiss chard (Beta vul-garis sub sp. Cicla). The organic high input... |

| The social problem of food insecurity and the challenge for farmers in adapting successfully to climate change in West African societies build the framework and scope of our research for development (R4D). It is addressed through a project called Syprobio, operating in Mali, Burkina Faso and Benin. Elected farmers, representing 2000–3000 organic farmers, are conducting on-farm research and cooperating with 40–50 researchers and technicians in testing 27 innovative practices by forming innovation platforms. Soil fertility, seed improvement, pest management, agronomy and socio-economics are the main themes. The innovations being tested are meant to improve food security and climate change adaptation. The main R4D methods used are transdisciplinarity,... |
