Analiza comparativă privind eficienţa economică a produselor agricole convenţionale şi a celor ecologice

Abstract

A 2006 study suggests that converted organic farms have lower pre harvest yields than their conventional counterparts in developed countries (92%) and that organic farms have higher pre-harvest yields than their low intensity counterparts in developing countries (132%). Organic farming is labor and knowledge-intensive whereas conventional farming is capital-intensive, requiring more energy and manufactured inputs. The knowledge applyed in organic farming permits the farmer to have greater profits if it is used right and also to contribute to the conservation of natural factors.
