Description: Das Projekt "Oekobilanz landwirtschaftlicher Produktion" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Agroscope FAT Tänikon durchgeführt. Leading Questions: Method of evaluating the ecological impact of traditional and alternative cultivation techniques. Abstract: This project has the following goals: 1) to develop an approach which takes into account the particular problems of agriculture with respect to environmental protection, soil pollution in addition to air and water pollution 2) to gain knowledge about environmental impacts of important agricultural products, such as wheat, milk, potatoes and vegetables 3) to compare the environmental effects of various agricultural methods (intensive, integrated, organic). Studies so far have shown, that system delimitation has a major influence on the final results. Thus, for example, the direct energy consumption of the studied agricultural methods (intensive, integrated, organic) is similar. On the other hand far greater differences are found between these systems, where the consumption of gray energy is concerned. Furthermore, the manufacturing of machines, including repairs, also has to be taken into consideration. These preceding stages, especially the production of auxiliary material, have to be included when comparing various agricultural methods. Complementary information: The European Community as well as the Swiss Confederation have decided on financial measures in order to support ecological farming. However, the global environmental impact of the various agricultural production techniques is not well known yet. The purpose of the project is - to develop a method of evaluating the ecological impact of traditional and alternative cultivation techniques (ecobalances); - to apply this method to Swiss and foreign productions of food and renewable resources intended for industrial use. The results of the project may help to find decisions in agricultural and environmental policy and to optimize agriculture ecologically speaking.
