| Kansas study finds GM crop yields fall short | According to a three-year study carried out at the University of Kansas, genetically engineered crops actually produce less than their conventional counterpart. Such findings fly in the face of claims that genetically engineered crops hold the key to solving the growing global food crisis | Apr 25 2008 - 1:20pm |
| Organic winter wheat tops 100 bu/ac | Researchers are still trying to figure out what prompted such high yields | Apr 4 2008 - 8:57am |
| Compost out-yields fertilizer in Ethiopian on-farm testing | A massive on-farm research collaboration involving data from 974 fields growing 13 crops over seven years in Ethiopia's Tigray province showed compost can replace chemical fertilizer—and increase yields by more than 30 percent, on average. | Mar 13 2008 - 2:01pm |
| Organic farming systems could feed the world while slashing fertilizer use | Scholarly review shows that natural farming approaches could produce enough food for current populations if distributed equally, while reducing environmental impacts of conventional farming methods. | Mar 13 2008 - 1:58pm |
| Ag chemicals and GMOs no match for advanced natural methods in beating famine | Agroecologically sound farming is better suited to meet the food needs of poor farmers around the world because builds soil productivity without purchased inputs. | Mar 13 2008 - 12:50pm |
