Welcome to Organic Farming, a New Open-
Access Peer-Reviewed Journal!
Over the past few decades the area of farmland under
organic management has significantly and continuously
increased [1]. This trend, observed across all conti-
nents, has been accompanied by a strong expansion
of the market for organically produced goods, and a
substantial increase of organic farming research efforts,
funded through national and international programmes.
At the same time, with the tremendous expansion of
organic agriculture and food systems the organic sector
has experienced a remarkable diversification and it is
therefore essential to conduct research in, and find
practical solutions for, an increasing diversity of organic
farming systems across the globe.
Research findings from organic food and farming
systems have had a significant impact on conventional
agriculture, on agricultural policies and of course on
the adaptation and optimisation of organic systems in
practice [2]. However, organic ideas have not remained
unchallenged: from the inception of organic farming
research, there has been an intensive and dynamic
controversy, both within and outside of academia, over
the benefits of organic farming and food systems, and
the potential and actual contributions of organic farm-
ing to the solution of global challenges such as food
security [3-5], biodiversity conservation [6-8], and
climate change [9]. It is likely that the years ahead will
be no less dynamic, as organic food and farming sys-
tems will need to balance mounting economic pressures
with organic principles and find their way between
inspiring conventional agriculture and simultaneously
competing with it.
With these past and expected future developments
in mind it is clear that a solid research basis is needed
for the progress of the organic sector and related
areas. In fact, these thoughts highlight the pressing
need to strengthen and expand the forum for research
on organic farming. Thus, we are launching Organic
Farming as new open-access peer reviewed journal to
complement, enrich, and challenge current academic
publishing in the area of organic food and farming
systems. As the scientific community intensifies its ef-
forts to solve global problems in agriculture and food
systems, our journal will strive to facilitate this process,
acting as an amplifier and focussing lens to highlight
promising innovations and significant insights from or-
ganic farming research.
Following the spirit of the organic farming principle
of fairness [10], all articles in this journal are free for
readers, so as to decrease barriers to sharing knowl-
edge. Publishing costs are met via membership fees
paid by authors. This model is based on the idea that
the community of contributing researchers jointly bears
the costs of publishing; through this membership system
[11] we offer a low-cost option to open-access pub-
lishing and hope to foster a close identification of con-
tributing authors with the publishing process.
At the same time, establishing this new journal on
organic farming offers a unique opportunity to shape the
editorial process in a fresh and innovative way and to
tackle the well-known problems associated with current
academic publishing [12-14]. In particular, Organic

Farming is committed to promoting and highlighting
the impact of organic research in practice, alongside
the promotion of traditional measures of visibility. We
are dedicated to ensuring the highest quality standards
through fast and rigorous peer review and editorial
policies, and processes are designed to facilitate inter-
and transdisciplinary exchange, e.g. by building bridges
between research on agricultural production on the one
hand and food culture systems research on the other.
The members of the editorial board, with their shared
enthusiasm for organic farming research, are committed
to scientific quality and service to authors and readers.
On behalf of the editorial board I would therefore like to
invite you to submit articles to Organic Farming.

A Fresh Start For Organic Farming Research

  • 1. Organic Farming | 2014 | Volume 1 | Issue 1 | Pages 1โ€“2 DOI: 10.12924/of2014.01010001 Editorial A Fresh Start for Organic Farming Research Thomas F. Dรถring Faculty of Agriculture and Horticulture, Humboldt University of Berlin, Albrecht-Thaer-Weg 5, 14195 Berlin, Germany; E-Mail: thomas.doering@agrar.hu-berlin.de Submitted: 5 December 2013 | Published: 13 December 2013 Welcome to Organic Farming, a New Open- Access Peer-Reviewed Journal! Over the past few decades the area of farmland under organic management has significantly and continuously increased [1]. This trend, observed across all conti- nents, has been accompanied by a strong expansion of the market for organically produced goods, and a substantial increase of organic farming research efforts, funded through national and international programmes. At the same time, with the tremendous expansion of organic agriculture and food systems the organic sector has experienced a remarkable diversification and it is therefore essential to conduct research in, and find practical solutions for, an increasing diversity of organic farming systems across the globe. Research findings from organic food and farming systems have had a significant impact on conventional agriculture, on agricultural policies and of course on the adaptation and optimisation of organic systems in practice [2]. However, organic ideas have not remained unchallenged: from the inception of organic farming research, there has been an intensive and dynamic controversy, both within and outside of academia, over the benefits of organic farming and food systems, and the potential and actual contributions of organic farm- ing to the solution of global challenges such as food security [3-5], biodiversity conservation [6-8], and climate change [9]. It is likely that the years ahead will be no less dynamic, as organic food and farming sys- tems will need to balance mounting economic pressures with organic principles and find their way between inspiring conventional agriculture and simultaneously competing with it. With these past and expected future developments in mind it is clear that a solid research basis is needed for the progress of the organic sector and related areas. In fact, these thoughts highlight the pressing need to strengthen and expand the forum for research on organic farming. Thus, we are launching Organic Farming as new open-access peer reviewed journal to complement, enrich, and challenge current academic publishing in the area of organic food and farming systems. As the scientific community intensifies its ef- forts to solve global problems in agriculture and food systems, our journal will strive to facilitate this process, acting as an amplifier and focussing lens to highlight promising innovations and significant insights from or- ganic farming research. Following the spirit of the organic farming principle of fairness [10], all articles in this journal are free for readers, so as to decrease barriers to sharing knowl- edge. Publishing costs are met via membership fees paid by authors. This model is based on the idea that the community of contributing researchers jointly bears the costs of publishing; through this membership system [11] we offer a low-cost option to open-access pub- lishing and hope to foster a close identification of con- tributing authors with the publishing process. At the same time, establishing this new journal on organic farming offers a unique opportunity to shape the editorial process in a fresh and innovative way and to tackle the well-known problems associated with current academic publishing [12-14].

  • 2. Farming is committed to promoting and highlighting the impact of organic research in practice, alongside the promotion of traditional measures of visibility. We are dedicated to ensuring the highest quality standards through fast and rigorous peer review and editorial policies, and processes are designed to facilitate inter- and transdisciplinary exchange, e.g. by building bridges between research on agricultural production on the one hand and food culture systems research on the other. The members of the editorial board, with their shared enthusiasm for organic farming research, are committed to scientific quality and service to authors and readers. On behalf of the editorial board I would therefore like to invite you to submit articles to Organic Farming. References 1. Willer H, Lernoud J.
