Study: Organic farming produces less food than conventional. How huge is this yield gap?The productivity of organic farming systems and their capacity to address the global food demand of a rapidly increasing population has been debated. Its popularity has amplified among consumers and the progressive global market (Badgley, 2007; Halberg et al., 2005; Trewavas, 2001; Stanhill, 1990). Incidentally, the claimed benefits of organic farming have been contested by Stanhill (1990) and Trewavas (2001), who criticized that organic farming produces lower yield and requires more production area to generate the same amount of food as conventional farms, further exacerbating deforestation and biodiversity loss, thus diminishing its environmental benefits.

Yield gap between organic and conventional farming systems across climate types and sub-types: A meta-analysisKoska tutkittavissa tutkimuksissa ei oltu otettu huomioon latausalaa, se ei tule esiin tuloksissakaan, sen prosenttiluvuissa.
Mutta luomuviljelyä ei kertakaikkiian
voi harjoittaa ilman latausalaa. Miten asia sitten hoidetaankin. Tai piilotetaankin.
