Regional Groundwater Protection by Optimised Organic Farming Systems
"... In Denmark the public gives high priority to being able to use untreated ground water for drinking. There is a growing understanding that clean ground water can only be maintained through active means. A way of regulating land use in vulnerable areas could be to use organic farming. Pesticide use wi ..."

will then stop. However, this does not necessarily mean a stop to nitrate leaching. Probably the loss of nitrate will differ with the type of organic cropping system used and that is the focus of this study. Our hypothesis is that some of the management steps that characterise organic farming systems can change

The Viability of Cotton-Based Organic Farming Systems
- in India,” International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability
, 2007
"... Cotton farmers in many developing countries are facing decreasing marginal returns due to stagnating yields and high input costs. Conversion to organic management could offer an alternative. In a two year comparative study in central India covering 170 cotton fields, organic farms achieved cotton yi ..."

system. Although the crops grown in rotation with cotton were sold without premium, organic farms achieved 10–20% higher incomes from agriculture. In addition to these economic benefits, the organic farming system does not burden soil and groundwater with synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. However
