Comparing productivity and feed-use efficiency between organic and conventional livestock animals

Ulysse Gaudare et al.

Summary: Livestock productivity is found to be 12% lower in organic farming compared to conventional farming, with significant differences in feeding strategy and feed use efficiency. However, organic dairy cattle have a 46% lower human-food vs animal-feed competition, which contributes to the sustainability of organic livestock management.

Global option space for organic agriculture is delimited by nitrogen availability

Pietro Barbieri et al.

Summary: Organic agriculture is seen as a strategy to reduce environmental impacts and achieve global climate and biodiversity goals, but studies show that organic farming may not be able to fully meet global food demand due to nitrogen limitations. However, by redesigning the livestock sector and reducing per capita caloric intake, public policies could support a transition to organic agriculture on a significant portion of the global agricultural area, despite current nitrogen constraints.
