An international team led by University of Alicante (UA) scientists has found that increasing the share of organic farming may improve crop yields and help maintain soil health and biodiversity. Published in the journal Nature Sustainability, the study concludes that landscapes with at least 50% organic farming optimize crop yields, soil biodiversity and key ecosystem functions such as carbon storage, nutrient cycling and water regulation.
