Summary/Abstract from Original Source
The productivity of organic cropping systems is considerably lower than that of conventional or integrated cropping systems. Their lower productivity implies that their widespread adoption could potentially lead to less land available for non-farm uses such as wildlife habitat, greater negative impacts on the environment, and reduced sustainability.
