Common bunt, caused by the seed-borne fungal pathogens Tilletia caries and T. laevis, remains one of the most economically important diseases of winter wheat in Europe. The objective of this
Organic farming is widely regarded as an animal-friendly husbandry system that benefits animal welfare. However, very little information is available on the situation in practice that can answer the question
Debates about the agronomic feasibility of feeding the world organically have often focused on potential nitrogen (N) limitations, overlooking the challenges raised by the availability of phosphorus (P) in soils.
The Mediterranean basin is one of the world’s major biodiversity hotspots and is highly vulnerable to climate change, desertification, and the simplification of agricultural systems. In this context, biodistricts have
Organic farming is frequently discussed as a strategy for mitigating nitrate leaching, especially in water protection areas. The effectiveness of nitrogen (N) management practices within organic crop rotations requires evaluation
Weeds pose a significant challenge to organic farming due to the absence of herbicides, leading to substantial crop losses. Weed management in organic farming is a critical component for ensuring
Organic farming in the European Union is strongly shaped by Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) support, yet participation durability remains less examined than supported organic area or organic–conventional comparisons. This study
Low-carbon transition in European agriculture requires evidence on how sectoral structures adjust under policy support. In Ireland, fiscal investment through the Organic Farming Scheme has increased over the period 2020–2023
Perennial legume-grass leys and organic fertilizers are essential for soil fertility in organic farming. In stockless systems, inputs such as compost or biogas residues replace livestock manure, but their effects
Achieving sustainable livestock production requires farming models capable of reconciling environmental performance, economic viability, and social outcomes, particularly in less-favoured rural areas characterised by agro-climatic constraints. This study examines whether
