| 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... |

| Für die sogenannten «Grasländer» Schweiz und Österreich stellt sich die Frage, welche Lösungen für die Milch- und Rindfleischproduktion zu einer ökologisch nachhaltigen Landnutzung beitragen können. Vor diesem Hintergrund unterziehen die Autoren die Landwirtschaft in diesen beiden Alpenländern einer umfassenden Bestandsaufnahme hinsichtlich ihrer agrarpolitischen Entwicklung und deren Folgen für die Umwelt. Dabei stellen sie den Faktor Stickstoff in das Zentrum der Analyse, die in einer Zusammenarbeit zwischen FiBL Österreich, Umweltbundesamt GmbH Wien, FiBL Schweiz, und Schwank Earthpartner erfolgte. Die Autoren entwickeln aus verschiedenen Perspektiven Ansätze und Leitlinien, die zentral sind, um mittelfristig eine ökologisch nachhaltige Landwirtschaft... |

| Farming in the alpine countries of Austria and Switzerland fulfils important economic, socio-cultural and ecological functions for society. At the same time, it is responsible for important environmental impacts, whereas nitrogen balance surpluses and related impacts play a central role. It is crucial to reduce nitrogen inputs and site-adapted production and closing material cycles are core elements of ecologically sustainable land use. The study analysed the effects of adapted beef and dairy systems on the environmental impact and the food production with the help of the SOL mass-flow model. This includes higher reliance on grassland-based feed by abandoning the use of concentrate feed and forage maize, locally adapted reduction of livestock numbers,... |
