Conversion to organic field vegetable production
Aim
To provide information on the agronomic and economic performance during conversion from conventional systems to organic systems with field vegetables.
Background
At present the domestic supply of organic vegetables in the UK is insufficient to meet consumer demand. Consequently most of the organic vegetables on the market are imported. However, despite the strong demand for organic produce, conventional growers remain reluctant to convert their land to organic production; the lack of information and advice relating to conversion to organic systems being perceived as the major barrier for individual growers to change. To address this situation, the overall aim of this project is to provide information on the physical and economic performance during conversion to field vegetable production.
