The resulting patterns
recall organic systems and serve as an exploration in both mark - making and the physical qualities of her materials.
Recently published meta - analyses report mean estimates across all crops varying from 19 % to 25 % lower yields in organic systems [6 — 8].
Direct environmental and ecological impacts of agriculture «on the farm» are certainly reduced
in organic systems.
In fact, claimed the session's speakers, these days a lot of scientific research is going into the development
of organic systems.
In those cases, where the yields are lower on organic farms, comparisons made per kg of product are less fa - vourable
for organic systems (Chirinda et al., 2010b) unless N use efficiency is higher on organic farms (cf. 4 below).
Soil organic matter in tilled manure
organic systems increased from 3.3 % in 1981 to about 4.5 % in 2013 representing a net increase of 27 % (Figure 5).
Furthermore in - creased longevity
within organic systems reduces the relative emissions from the unproductive rear - ing phase of dairy cows (Lynch et al., 2011).
Further benefits
from organic systems would include more microbiologic activity in soils and greater regional biodiversity.
Organic 3.0 is about bringing organic out of its current niche into the mainstream and positioning
organic systems as part of the multiple solutions needed to solve the tremendous challenges faced by our planet and our species.
For instance, the Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development Project in Kenya is working with communities in the Gilgil district to
develop organic systems to increase food security through a community indigenous seed conservation programme.
Soil organic matter in tilled
manure organic systems increased from 3.3 % in 1981 to about 4.5 % in 2013 representing a net increase of 27 % (Figure 5).
As a certified organic operator you put enormous effort into maintaining the integrity of your
own organic systems, but it's important to remember that your efforts to verify the integrity of your suppliers are just as vital to consumer confidence and the health of the organic industry.
Successfully trained all new support staff and radiologist
on organic systems use and managed operational workflow for critical site support.
From the beginning and throughout the history of the vitalization of matter we see the progressive growth of what is in fact psychism within more and more complex and
interiorized organic systems (living super-molecules).
He states: «A good part of
organic systems rely on self - organisation... that things click together... yet there is no general theory to explain how that happens.»
The existing Riverina Organic Farmers Organisation (ROFO) is coordinated by many who were present at the networking event and offers a great local platform of support for growers who are researching
how organic systems of production may integrate into their existing enterprise.
Excessive N can occur in
organic systems after over-addition of manure, soluble N fertilizer, or N - rich cover crops (see Concepts for Organic Fertility).
the permanent plant cover in
organic systems which results in a more efficient uptake of mobile nitrogen in soils, thus reducing the potential and risk for N2O emissions.
Attendees at the Portland conference represented member nations with still fledgling organic sectors to ones with well -
established organic systems — Argentina, Chile, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Panama, Ecuador, Guatemala, Paraguay, Peru, Mexico, Colombia, Spain, Costa Rica, and the United States.
His teams are
organic system built around a single philosophy — he has to change that philosophy every 3 - 4 years as the opposition counter it and his players start to believe the hype and they mistakenly attribute their performance as being above the system.
The authors of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) State of the States report agree that more research is needed: «Even now, efforts at doing long -
term organic systems research can be counted on one hand.»
The lower land - use efficiency of
organic systems means that «large - scale conversion to organic would likely require bringing more natural habitats into agricultural production,» with a potentially severe impact on global biodiversity due to the loss of rainforests and other currently wild areas.
The structural investigations of
model organic systems like pentacene in the monolayer regime is very important for fundamental understanding of the initial nucleation process together with the electronic performance of transistor devices.
Using wood, ceramics, and paper for both their physical and conceptual properties, Miller is interested in
capturing organic systems through the creation of abstract representations.
Flow Interrupted, an exploratory exhibition of abstract new media art, is curated by LiveBox and includes artists who use computer code, animation, and video editing techniques to create works that celebrate the elegance of mathematical form and the unpredictability of
seemingly organic systems.
Her delicately - webbed «drawings - in - space... cover, divide, encircle, and fill» their installation sites, she says, while the forms of
organic systems present in the work influence viewers both physically and visually, heightening and destabilizing their experience.
It also elucidates the adaptive capacity of agro-ecological farming system approaches, using
organic system case studies from the scientific literature.
Organic agriculture has demonstrable benefits to the environment on a per unit area basis, however, those benefits are often negated or reversed on a per unit production basis
because organic systems tend to yield less per area [5].
To this end, the importance of biodiversity as part of a well -
balanced organic system is part of the IFOAM International Basic Standards for Organic Agriculture Production and Processing.
The use of GMOs
within organic systems is not permitted during any stage of organic food production, processing or handling.
Well managed
organic systems with better nutrient retentive abilities, greatly reduce the risk of groundwater pollution.
As a certified organic operator you put enormous effort into maintaining the integrity of your
own organic systems, but it's important to remember that your efforts to verify the integrity of your suppliers are just as vital to consumer confidence and the health of the organic...
The World of Organic Agriculture includes contributions from representatives of the organic sector from throughout the world and provides comprehensive organic farming statistics that cover surface area under organic management, specific information about land use
in organic systems, numbers of farms and other operator types as well as selected market data.
In Resplendent, the use
of organic systems and visual sequences merge to explore the manner in which pattern may be realized.
