New report highlights the economic viability of organic farming
ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE OF ORGANIC FARMS IN EUROPE
By Offermann F. and H. Nieberg
This latest report in the series 'Organic Farming in Europe: Economics and Policy' offers an insight into profits of organic and comparable conventional farms through an extensive analysis of labour use, prices, yields, costs and support payments. It concludes that profits on organic farms are on average comparable to those on conventional farms. In addition, a comprehensive evaluation of policy implications establishes that the relative competitiveness of organically managed systems is likely to increase as a result of Agenda 2000.
