description: On organic crop farms mobile nitrogen sources are scarce. One possible source can be degassed biomass from fermented energy crops produced on organic farms. This study analyses the effects of an investment in a cooperative biogas plant on the production program and the net farm income using a linear planning model. The production of green electricity from biogas yields in a higher net farm income. Alfalfa grass is a more efficient energy crop than maize in organic farms. Fewer legumes and more cash crops are produced. The yearly labour requirement rises due to the production of energy crops, operation of the biogas plant and spreading the degassed biomass.
