Relative yield of food and efficiency of land-use in organic agriculture - A regional study

David J. Connor

Agricultural Systems, 2022, vol. 199, issue C

Abstract: Most information on relative yield of organic (OA) and conventional agriculture (CA) is from plot experiments of individual crops grown with organic or inorganic fertilizers, respectively. Commonly reported values are 0.75–0.91, a relatively small difference. But organic manures are produced through biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) by legumes. How much and what else does that land in legumes contribute to overall yield?
