This will be the basis for recommendation to convert the agriculture in the Baltic drainage area. date: 2005 date_type: published publication: CD Proceedings publisher: International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM); National Association for Sustainable Agriculture, Australia (NASAA); International Society of Organic Agriculture Research (ISOFAR) pagerange: 1-4 refereed: yes citation: Granstedt, Artur; Schneider, Thomas; Seuri, Pentti and Thomsson, Olof (2005) The potential of ecological recycling agriculture (ERA) for improved nature resource conservation and reduced environmental impacts in the Baltic Sea drainage area.
