| Assessing the overall effects of organic food systems is important, but also a challenge because organic food systems cannot be fully assessed from one single research perspective. The aim of the article is to uncover the role of values in assessments of organic food systems as a basis for discussing the implications of combining multiple perspectives in overall sustainability assessments of the food system. We explore how values are embedded in five research perspectives assessing organic food systems, 1) Food Science, 2) Discourse Analysis, 3) Phenomenology, 4) Neoclassical Welfare Economics and 5) Actor-Network Theory. The article shows that value has various meanings in different scientific perspectives, and that a strategy for including and balancing... |

| Workshop presentation with particular focus on values, transferability and praxis relevance of organic farming research. Examples from agricultural engineering lead to the conclusion, that prototype farming, goal oriented project management, participative decision making and funding, coaching of co-operation, and coaching of conflict management may enhance long term, holistic and interdisciplinary research. |

| This study presents two hypothetical challenges 1) The actors in the Finnish food chain do not have a common community that would cover the entire food chain from primary producers to the consumers of organic food and that would, by communal effort, enhance the development of the organic food chain, and 2) A fairer share of power among the food chain actors would enable the development of the organic food chain. The literature supports these arguments; the collaboration occurs mainly on a horizontal level, and leaves actual consumers outside the direct collaboration. The division of power, according to the results of other studies, is uneven, biased and twisted among the food chain actors. In this study, the two arguments were presented to two focus... |

| Within the current Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) framework, Member States are obliged to evaluate their respective Rural Development Plans (RDPs). The aim of the evaluation is to verify the efficiency and efficacy of the implementation process, particularly as concerns the objective of integration of environmental issues in the agricultural policy. In this context, a more comprehensive evaluation methodol-ogy is needed. Particularly, the spatial structure of the territory the intervention targets must be inte-grated in the analysis. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been widely considered a useful tool to encompass the spatial aspects in the evaluation process. GIS, in fact, are able to perform spatial analysis as well as estimate quantitative... |

| In 2010, the BLE commissioned an evaluation of the Federal Organic Farming Scheme (BÖL), running since 2001. This paper reports on the approach taken in the evaluation of its research component, selected findings, and recommendations. An impact model of the BÖL scheme was developed to analyse how the various measures could contribute to the scheme’s overall aims and objectives. Data from the BLE research project database were analysed to assess the distribution of resources over time by topic and by research provider. At project level, a random selection of 83 projects was reviewed by external experts, including both scientists and other stakeholders to assess their quality and relevance. An online survey of 104 project leaders and interviews with 30... |

| Diese Arbeit geht der Frage nach, inwieweit die Merkmale Erwerbsart, Betriebsgröße, natürliche Erschwernis und Wirtschaftsweise die Nachhaltigkeit der österreichischen Milchviehhaltung beeinflussen. Geprüft wird diese Frage mittels Nachhaltigkeitsindikatoren, die dem Netz der freiwillig buchführenden Betriebe im Jahr 2003 entnommen sind. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass größere Betriebe und Biobetriebe ein höheres Einkommen erwirtschafteten als kleinere Betriebe und konventionelle Betriebe. Im Rahmen der ökologischen Nachhaltigkeit weisen kleinere Betriebe, Bergbauernbetriebe sowie Biobetriebe tendenziell geringere Umweltbelastungen je Flächeneinheit aus. Demgegenüber konnten in größeren Betrieben, Nicht-Bergbauernbetrieben sowie konventionellen Betrieben... |

| To support the development and expansion of organic farming, more research is needed to optimise the function and practices of individual farms. Furthermore, it is important to assess the ecological effects of organic farming on a regional scale in order to show potential ad-vantages of organic farming compared to conventional farming. Both issues require model-ling of cropping methods and crop rotations. The authors present a rule-based model for the generation of site-specific and agronomically suitable crop rotations. Site-specific estimation modules for yields, nitrogen balance, risk of weed problems, phytosanitary restrictions for crop rotations, and economic costs and benefits allow the generation and selection of eco-nomically optimal,... |

| This report was presented at the UK Organic Research 2002 Conference. Organic livestock standards are designed to deliver good animal welfare but without an objective means of assessing welfare, it is difficult to know if they succeed. Existing assessment systems largely assess environmental requirements, rather than looking at animal behaviour or health. Parasitic gastro-enteritis (PGE) is recognised as being one of the most difficult diseases to prevent in organic livestock production. Monitoring systems for PGE can be used by organic farmers in their decision-making and could be one aspect of assessing animal welfare, particularly in relation to sheep. Results are presented of studies on an experimental organic beef/sheep farm and on commercial organic... |

| Der Frage nach der Systembewertung der Tierhaltung im ökologischen Landbau sind über 40 Experten aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum im Rahmen eines KTBL-Fachgespräches vom 25. bis 26. April 2007 an der Fachhochschule Eberswalde nachgegangen, das im Rahmen des Bundesprogramms Ökologischer Landbau gefördert wurde. Die Ergebnisse sind in einer KTBL-Schrift wiedergegeben. Die ökologische Tierhaltung erhebt für sich den Anspruch, in hohem Maße den Anforderungen an eine umweltschonende und tiergerechte sowie sozial und ökonomisch nachhaltige Tierhaltung gerecht zu werden. Inwieweit ihr dies aber gelingt und wo Optimierungspotential steckt, ist nur durch eine umfassende Systembewertung zu ermitteln. Die Einhaltung der Richtlinien des ökologischen Landbaus... |

| Nyckeltal på ekologiska gårdar Nyckeltal används för att kvantitativt beskriva ett lantbruksföretags miljöpåverkan (Bendz, 2001) och miljönyckeltal är framtagna bland annat för kväve (Gustafsson et al., 2001) och fosfor (Ivarsson et al., 2001). Hushållning av insatta åtgärder är viktigt både för miljön och för lantbrukaren. Nyckeltal är därför relevanta som beslutsunderlag när lantbrukarna vill mäta sig själva, bli bättre och lönsammare. Vill man undersöka hur väl växtnäringen nyttjas på gårdsnivå kan man beräkna nyckeltal med hjälp av växtnäringsbalanser. Visar balansen stora överskott finns risk att förluster uppkommer medan underskott kan vara en signal på att systemet inte... |

| 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... |

| The recent changes in organic farming practices (e.g. larger farms, simplification of crop rotations, organic farms without animal husbandry) are sometimes seen as a first indication of conventionalisation of on-farm practices. Although conventionalisation is possible, changes in organic farming also need to be seen from an evolutionary perspective: change is necessary to adapt to a changing environment. It might thus be useful to take a closer look at the changes taking place, distinguishing between first order changes, i.e. changes that do not undermine organic farming’s principles (e.g. professionalisation) and second order changes, i.e. changes that may lead organic farming onto the same development trajectory as conventional farming. |

| Information on biodiversity and related population parameters are of key importance for assessing ecosystem services or impacts of management decisions in agriculture. However information on this parameters is often not directly measurable. Indicators are a convenient way to gain information on these variables. Here we present Partial Least Squares Path Modeling (PLS-PM) to develop and evaluate complex indicators for biodiversity and related parameters. As an example we use data on Lumbricus terrestris from 76 plots on Bavarian mixed farms to create complex indicators for population viability, management intensity and site potential and model their causal relations. |

| Dexi-SH* is an ex ante multivariate model for assessing the sustainability of dairy cows grazing systems. This model is composed of three sub-models that evaluate the impact of the systems on: (i) biotic resources; (ii) abiotic resources, and (iii) pollution risks. The structuring of the hierarchical tree was inspired by that of the Masc model. The choice of criteria and their aggregation modalities were discussed within a multi-disciplinary group of scientists. For each cluster, a utility function was established in order to determine weighting and priority functions between criteria. The model can take local and regional conditions and standards into account by adjusting criterion categories to the agroecological context, and the specific views of the... |

| Die ‚Konventionalisierung’ der biologischen Landwirtschaft (manchmal auch ‚Industrialisierung’ oder ‚Professionalisierung’ genannt) wird schon seit über 10 Jahren diskutiert. Dennoch fehlen bis heute klare Kriterien, Kennzahlen oder Indikatoren, mithilfe derer es möglich wäre, diesen Entwicklungstrend klar von anderen Entwicklungen im Biolandbau abzugrenzen. In diesem Workshop soll differenziert darüber diskutiert werden, ob ein Indikatoren-Set auf der Ebene der landwirtschaftlichen Betriebe sinnvoll wäre und wenn ja, wie dieses Set gestaltet werden sollte. Ziel des Workshops: Aufbauend auf den Ergebnissen eines Ganztages-Workshops mit österreichischen Bio-ExpertInnen soll die Struktur eines Indikatorensets besprochen sowie eindeutige Kriterien für die... |

| Es gibt viele Berichte über den vielfältigen Einsatz von effektiven Mikroorganismen (EM), unter anderem auch bei der Kontrolle von Parasiten. Das Ziel dieser Studie war es, die Wirkung verschiedener Konzentrationen von EM auf die Wiederfindungsraten infektiöser Larven von Haemonchus contortus zu bewerten. Die Studie wurde mit Hilfe von Grasproben unter Laborbedingungen durchgeführt. 4 und 10 Tage nach Aufbringen der Larven auf das Gras wurden die Larven gezählt. Es wurde eine zeitabhängige Verminderung der Wiederfindungsrate festgestellt. Die EM Gruppen wiesen eine signifikant geringere Wiederfindungsrate als die Kontrollgruppe auf. Das Aufbringen von EM auf Gras führte zu einer Reduktion der infektiösen Drittlarven unter Laborbedingungen. |
