| Due to higher prices in the organic compared to the certified integrated apple production, fruit growers are more and more interested in the conversion from integrated to organic production. With the return-risk profile based on Mouron (2001a) it is possible to identify the return and risks with economic indicators from the full cost account and the cash flow statement. Therefore, the return-risk profile serves as a basis for decision- making for producers concerning an evaluation to convert to organic. The return of the organic apple production is about 7% better than the certified integrated production. The risk of the organic production is higher because of the difficulty of braeking the alternanz and loss due to insect pests and diseases. The... |

| With economic indicators from the full cost account and the cash flow statement it is possible to identify the return-risk profile for the organic and the integrated apple production in Switzerland. The full cost account and the cash-flow time line are composed with the managerial-economical software-tool Arbokost. Due to higher (more than 100%) prices in the organic production, growing organic satisfies more return-oriented producers than growing certified integrated. However, the higher return in the organic production is bound to a higher risk. With the certified integrated production (IFP), return and risk are lower. ‘Arbokost’ is an economic farm management software tool for fruit growers. Per orchard it reflects a full cost account, the cash flows... |

| The aim of this study was to provide an ex ante assessment of the sustainability of genetically modified (GM) crops under the agricultural conditions prevailing in Switzerland. The study addressed the gaps in our knowledge relating to (1) the agronomic risks/benefits in production systems under Swiss conditions (at field and rotation/orchard level), (2) the economic and socio-economic impacts associated with altered farming systems, and (3) the agro-ecological risks/benefits of GM crops (at field and rotation/orchard level). The study was based on an inventory of GM crops and traits which may be available in the next decade, and on realistic scenarios of novel agricultural practices associated with the use of GM crops in conventional, integrated, and... |
