ment on the need to apply system theory to organic farming and how mainstream organic
farming research is usually conducted (Lockeretz 2000). Obviously, the requirements set forth
by scientific communities as well as shortages in long-term research funding prevent many sci-
entists from adopting a real system approach to organic farming research. However, this
approach would be the most correct in organic systems (Niggli 1997); the hope is then to see it
more frequently applied in future scientific papers.
