The objective of our study was to assess the impact of farming systems on soil quality in vegetable fields, focusing on the soil nematode community as an indicator of the soil food-web. We compared nematode communities in vegetable fields with extensively managed grasslands that do not receive any fertilizer and plant protection products.Due to the agricultural …

For example, it seems that also in other countries, especially in combination with other factors, markets play a vital role particularly in some regions, dairy farming is connected to some organic concentrations, and subsidies can effectively increase organic farming in certain areas. Therefore, same political approach to increase organic farming does not necessarily work for …

Our ultimate goal is to establish an optimal classification metrics set that is suitable for the study area through these steps.In this study, Landsat-5 TM SR data were chosen to establish spectral and index metrics sets for 1990, 2001, and 2010, while the Landsat-8 OLI SR data were used to develop spectral and index metrics sets …
Mainstreaming of organic agriculture in the public, pushed by green policies and NGO activities, continues to play an important role in its success, promoting empathy for and trust in organic certification schemes. Lastly, organic products are more profitable for farmers, while consumers, not governments, pay for most of the premium prices. However, there are also …

It requires increasing attention to social issues and human welfare brought by the …
The first alternative system is the semi-intensive system. The main goal in this system is to improve the provision of private goods, i.e. increased meat production and improved labor conditions. Several enabling conditions at farm level were identified to reach this end . This alternative system would fit better in the southernmost and flat areas where …
The indices of specific identity according to Jaccard were also calculated, expressing the concordance of the species composition of the zoocenoses compared to each other. Within the evaluation of individual years, types of management systems and crops, in 2018 the value was 75.00%, in 2019 their value represented 44.00% and in 2020 it was 50.00%. The …
The interview was conducted by starting with a conversation to retrieve some basic information, such as the socio-structural characteristics of the farm, and it then proceeded to the Q sorting phase. This was carried out by making a sign with the grid, which was completely white so as not to influence the respondents, and providing …

Recurring topics were the need for shorter value chains, more fairness towards farmers, and less dependence on migrant workers. However, we observed limited adaptive and no transformative responses. This might betray a general orientation towards robustness and attempts to avoid larger changes to the modes of operation. Similar to the results of other studies , …

In 1994 permanent subsidies for organic farming were implemented . This was extended in 1996 where additional funding was provided for advice to farmers in the transition phase. At the same time subsidies for development initiatives were also given by the state for processing, marketing and distribution of organic products. Denmark also invested into schools, …
