abstract: The scientific basis of organic agriculture’s role in benefiting health, the environment and agricultural communities has been the subject of considerable debate. In Wales, a three-year monitoring study found evidence of the compatibility of organic farming with environmental conservation. The study also found a positive attitude towards production issues among organic farmers, but increasing concerns about marketing and profitability.
