A Study on the Development of Organic Citrus Agriculture with Farmer Survey for Sustainable Farming and Economic Conditions

本项目开发了一套调查有机柑橘种植者耕作和经济特征的统计指标。在项目期间，对82名有机柑橘种植者进行了调查，其中包括很少的化学减量农民、农民团体和农业公司。来自农民调查的数据，主要包括生产条件、有机农业实践、替代农业或农业化肥技术、农场收支构成、有机农产品的营销和价格、劳动时间、商业环境以及影响从传统农业向有机农业过渡的因素，将有助于了解发展可持续农业的农业和经济条件。该项目的一些成果已经以论文、书籍或演示文稿的形式发表。

This project developed a set of statistic indices for surveying the farming and economic characteristics of organic citrus farmers. In the project period, 82 organic citrus farmers, including few chemical-reduced famers, farmer groups and agricultural corporations, were surveyed. The data from the farmer surveys, which mainly include the production conditions, organic farming practices, substitution farming or techniques for agricultural chemical and chemical fertilizer applications, composition of farm revenues and expenditures, marketing and prices of organic farm products, labor time, business environment, and the factors influencing the transition from a conventional to organic farming, will help to make clear the farming and economic conditions for developing sustainable agriculture. Some results of the project have been published as papers, books or presentations.
