Higher yields and more biodiversity on smaller farms

Vincent Ricciardi et al.

Summary: This study reveals that smaller farms have higher yields and biodiversity compared to larger farms, with little difference in greenhouse gas emissions and profits. The findings emphasize the importance of farm size in mediating environmental and social outcomes relevant to sustainable development.

How is organic farming performing agronomically and economically in sub-Saharan Africa?

Christian Schader et al.

Summary: The potential of organic agriculture and agroecological approaches in improving food security in Africa remains controversial in global discussions. Studies conducted in Ghana and Kenya show varying levels of adoption of organic agriculture principles and a preference for passive rather than active organic management among farmers. While yields and gross margins under organic management in four of the case studies remain similar to conventional values, one case study showed significant increases in yields and profits. Overall, organically managed farms showed significantly higher farm-level gross margins compared to conventional farms, indicating the potential benefits of organic and agroecological approaches when implemented effectively.
