Ecosystem services and agriculture: tradeoffs and synergies (2010, background): “…agroecosystems around the world indicates that, on average, agricultural systems that conserve ecosystem services by using practices like conservation tillage, crop diversification, legume intensification and biological control perform as well as intensive, high-input systems (Badgley et al. 2007).”
Synthesis, part of a Special Feature on A Social-Ecological Analysis of Diversified Farming Systems: Benefits, Costs, Obstacles, and Enabling Policy Frameworks Ecosystem Services in Biologically Diversified versus Conventional Farming Systems: Benefits, Externalities, and Trade-Offs (2012, methodology): “Subsequently, two new studies (de Ponti et al. 2012, Seufert et al. 2012) critiqued the Badgley et al. (2007) study, primarily based on the choice of studies included in the Badgley study.”
Soil microbial diversity and activity linked to crop yield and quality in a dryland organic wheat production system (2016, background): “While total soil N may be greater in organic than conventional soils, N is usually the most limiting nutrient for crops in organic systems because much of the N is tied up in organic matter (Badgley et al., 2007; Seufert et al., 2012).”
Ecosystem services and economic development in Austrian agricultural landscapes - The impact of policy and climate change scenarios on trade-offs and synergies (2015, background): “This frequently comes at the cost of provisioning ES such as biomass production for human use (Schmid et al., 2004; Badgley et al., 2007; Pretty et al., 2006).”
Corn yield response to winter cover crops: An updated meta-analysis (2017, result): “…the number of publications, and in some cases revisiting the structure of the supporting data sets, has resulted in a major shift of the conclusions from previous meta-analyses, such as the case of organic versus conventional yields (Badgley et al. 2007; Seufert et al. 2012; Ponisio et al. 2015).”
Organic Farming and Small-Scale Farmers: Main Opportunities and Challenges (2017, background): “Different studies show that in developing countries, transition from resource 618 restricted and subsistence farming to OF, can increase the yield (Te Pas & Rees, 2014; FAO 619 website; Badgley et al., 2007; Pretty et al., 2006; Halberg, et al., 2006; UNEP, 2008; 620 Giovannucci, 2005).”
Facing up to the paradigm of ecological intensification in agronomy: Revisiting methods, concepts and knowledge (2011, background): “The meta-analysis 612 carried out by Badgley et al. (2007) did not focus on a specific cropping technique, but was 613 performed to compare two agricultural systems: organic versus conventional or low-intensity.”

The agroecological matrix as alternative to the land-sparing/agriculture intensification model (2010, result): “In a recent review of almost 300 studies comparing yields of organic/agroecological and conventional agriculture throughout the world, it was found that, on average, organic and agroecological systems produce as much, if not more, than conventional systems (72), corroborating many other studies (73–”
Comparing the yields of organic and conventional agriculture (2012, result): “Studies were only included if they (1) reported yield data on individual crop species in an organic treatment and a conventional treatment, (2) the organic treatment was truly organic (that is, either certified organic or following organic standards), (3) reported primary data, (4) the scale of the ”
