Résumé
A synthesis of twelve years (2007–2019)
of the “long-term farming systems comparisons in the tropics (SysCom)” : The SysCom Program compares different agricultural
production systems (primarily organic and conventional)
in three tropical countries (Kenya, India and
Bolivia). This report aims to provide a synthesis of the
findings of 12 years of research in the three countries
in a way that is easily comprehensible by specialists
and non-specialist alike. It focuses on productivity,
profitability, soil fertility, and other aspects of system
performance such as product quality, biodiversity, resource
use efficiency and agroecosystem resilience.
The report is divided into eight main sections: The
first section, conclusions, addresses the findings with
regards to the question, “What is the contribution
of organic agriculture to sustainable development?”.
This section is dedicated to the readers who are only
interested in a short comprehensive overview of the
results. The second section, introduction, explains the
program’s background and objectives. The following sections present the main findings on productivity,
profitability, soil fertility and other aspects of system
performance. These sections start with a summary of
the key findings, which are then explained in more
detail on the concrete research results. They are designed
for readers interested in an in-depth understanding
of the facts behind inferences as well as the
methodology. At the end of each sub-section, references
to the relevant scientific publications are provided
for further reading. Technical jargon has been kept to
a minimum and wherever possible explanations are
provided in footnotes. The seventh section includes
policy recommendations and offers sound advice
for policy development. Finally, the annexes provide
more information about the SysCom program, including
the programs’ phases, a detailed description
of the different sites and the local contexts, as well as
SysCom’s capacity building and dissemination efforts.
