Climate and farming system dominate wheat yield responses across European pedoclimatic zones, despite widespread soil nutrient surpluses

Background and aims European wheat production faces the challenge of maintaining yields while reducing environmental impacts from agrochemicals. Organic farming is often considered a sustainable alternative to promote soil health and reduce chemical inputs. This study assessed nutrient status in wheat soils across nine European pedoclimatic zones, comparing conventional and organic systems and evaluating management […]

Risk Factors Associated with Generic Escherichia coli Presence in Fresh Produce Grown in Manure-Amended Soil in Certified Organic Farms

Organic agricultural production benefits from the use of animal manure to improve soil quality and health. Despite its proven benefits, using manure poses some risk to food safety as it may contain pathogenic microorganisms that can contaminate produce and lead to foodborne human illnesses. To investigate risk factors associated with generic E. coli presence in […]
