Source(s): The Science of the total environment [Sci Total Environ] 2023 Jun 15; Vol. 877, pp. 162698. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Mar 11.
Abstract: Lack of experience concerning the organic conversion period and its associated challenges have made it difficult for conventional farmers to convert to organic farming. In this study, using a combined life cycle assessment (LCA) with data envelopment a...
The effect of organic farming on water reusability, sustainable ecosystem, and food toxicity.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Environmental science and pollution research international [Environ Sci Pollut Res Int] 2023 Jun; Vol. 30 (28), pp. 71665-71676. Date of Electronic Publication: 2021 Jul 07.
Abstract: Water is a fundamental necessity for people's well-being and the ecosystem's sustainability; however, its toxicity due to agrochemicals usage for food production leads to the deterioration of water quality. The poor water quality diminishes its reusabi...
Organic farming offers promising mitigation potential in dairy systems without compromising economic performances.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Journal of environmental management [J Environ Manage] 2023 May 15; Vol. 334, pp. 117405. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Feb 15.
Abstract: There is a lack of clear empirical evidence towards the lower carbon footprint of organic food products, in particular in the dairy sector. Until now, small sample sizes, lack of properly defined counterfactual and the omission of land-use related emis...
Actinobacteria as a source of biofertilizer/biocontrol agents for bio-organic agriculture.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Journal of applied microbiology [J Appl Microbiol] 2023 Feb 16; Vol. 134 (2).
Abstract: The global human population keeps growing and natural energy supplies are depleting, creating a threat to environmental demands, food security, and energy supply. As a result, increased agricultural output is required to accomplish the rising populatio...
