This book examines production efficiency and economic benefits of agricultural production, comparing both organic and conventional systems with specific emphasis to some crops and animal production. Most of the material in this book has been collected from already existing books of other authors and essayists, as well as personal experience gained during the author's teaching career. This book critically reviews the effects of agricultural chemicals on soil organisms and other agricultural practices. A case study for replacing chemicals with ecologically sound alternatives and comments on how this might be implemented, has been put forward. The framework for considering these aspects emphasizes a normative, rather than an extrapolative approach, and collaboration with nature to reach optimal levels of productivity. 1522/2022/B
