Organic agriculture world-wide allows farmers to produce healthy
food with low levels of external inputs, and often shortens the
value chains, giving farmers a higher share of the consumer dollar.
This book reports on long-term comparative organic farming systems
research trials carried out over the last four years in South
Africa's Southern Cape, as well as research on the organic sector
and the technical tools it requires in South Africa, Zambia, Uganda
and Tanzania. The trials show how the yield gap between organic and
conventional crops was closed over 3 years. Water use efficiency
was also greater in the organic farming system, and pests and
diseases were effectively controlled using biological products.
Farmer training approaches, soil carbon analysis, participatory
guarantee systems, the Zambian organic farming sector (agronomy)
and Ugandan organic farmer training support, and a sector plan for
southern African organic farming are examined.
