Three-year results show a markedly reduced ecological footprint of the ORG and BD systems in production of wheat and spelt comapring with conventional and integrted production system and crop rotations of this cereals. Thus, ORG and BD farming systems present viable alternatives for reducing the impact of agriculture on environmental degradation and climate change. Nevertheless, room for improvement exists in the area of machinery use in all systems studied and yield improvement in the ORG farming system.

The study determined the internal quality and physical parameters in the flesh of red beetroots produced in different production systems (conventional, integrated, organic, and control). Different cultivation systems of red beetroot plants significantly influenced some parameters of internal quality (mineral content, antioxidant activity, micro minerals). The organic system can also result in better economic feasibility under assumption that price and expectedyield are achieved.

In Slovenian crop rotation is possible introdused sweet maize instead of common maize, because of a great import of 750 t of sweet maize. Results showed that organic fertilisers can give the equal yields as mineral fertilisers, for those in this case no limits for oraganic cultivation.

The chemical composition of dwarf French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cv. Top Crop was compared among five production systems: conventional, integrated, organic, and biodynamic production systems and the control. Determination of sugars and organic acids was performed with a HPLC system, and identification of individual phenolic compounds using HPLC-MS. The chemical composition of the beans was unaffected by the production systems; however, the content levels of individual compounds were changed. The pods from integrated production contained the lowest levels of glucose and sucrose and the highest levels of catechin, procyanidin dimers, and a vanillic acid derivative. The control treatment, as well as organic and biodynamic productions, positively affected the levels of sugar content and caused a lower content of catechin and trans-p-coumaroylaldaric acids. Beans from the conventional production system contained the lowest levels of fructose, glucose, ascorbic acid, and many phenolics from various groups

Qualitative analysis of liposoluble wheat extract from conventional, integrated, organic, biodynamic and control farming systems was performed by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Organic and biodynamic farming systems were cliose to each other versus conventional and integrated. The study has found that this method can be a potentially used for making a distinction between organic and non-organic wheat production.
