Innovation in organic agriculture is about finding the right balance. Although organic farmers want to boost their output - yields from organic farms are typically 75%-80% of that from conventional modern farming - they do not want to do it at any cost. The challenge is to produce more without compromising on the practices that define organic farming, such as actively supporting local biodiversity, limited use of pesticides and avoidance of artificial chemical fertilisers. Innovation is not limited to yield improvement. Product quality and process improvements can also strengthen the organic sector, such as through the development of new methods to improve nutritional and environmental quality.
