Summary in the original language of the document
Conclusions
• Organic agriculture overall shows a favorable environmental performance if compared to conventional agriculture
• Organic agriculture has lower yields than conventional agriculture
-- But the environmental performance per kg product is on par
• We need a truly systemic approach:
-- total production of food nutrients from a landscape over a longer time period
-- assess environmental impacts within a regional ecosystem context
