A study by Agroscope, led by Marcel van der Heijden and Raphael Wittwer, has found that organic farming is more environmentally friendly than conventional agriculture, with benefits including biodiversity, soil health, water, and air quality. However, organic farming lags behind in yield, being an average of 22% lower than conventional tillage methods due to the ban on synthetic fertilizers and phytosanitary products. The research, published in 'Science Advances', suggests that organic farming has potential for yield improvement through strategies like selecting resistant varieties and optimizing manure. The study, conducted over ten years, involved testing different cultivation methods and found that organic farming and direct seeding methods were more balanced in terms of yield and environmental impact.

A long-term study carried out by Agroscope made it possible for the first time to experimentally study the strengths and weaknesses of four different arable cropping systems from an ecological, agronomic and economic point of view. In terms of ecosystem services, organic farming is winning on all fronts. However, it lags behind conventional agriculture in terms of yield, indicates a press release from Agroscope on September 2, 2021 (photo Agroscope). In Switzerland, organic food is on average 50% more expensive than conventional food. However, until now, it has not been possible to precisely quantify the benefits of organic products for the environment. Today, a team of researchers led by Agroscope is able for the first time to provide such figures. In a trial lasting over ten years, they systematically determined the impacts of four different cropping systems (from conventional cultivation with plowing to organic cultivation with reduced labor of soil; see below) on the ...
