Organic agriculture also creates less soil and water pollution and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

有机农业产生的土壤和水污染也更少，温室气体的排放也更低。

Organic agriculture is also associated with greater biodiversity of plants, animals, insects and microorganisms as well as genetic diversity.

有机农业与更丰富的生物多样性有关，还与植物、动物、昆虫、微生物以及遗传多样性有关。

But, organic agriculture also has an impact at a broader level.

但是，有机农业也会在更广泛的层面上产生影响。

With organic agriculture, environmental costs tend to be lower and the benefits greater.

在有机农业中，环境成本往往较低，而收益更大。

Critics have long argued that organic agriculture is inefficient, requiring more land to yield the same amount of food.

长期以来，批评家认为有机农业效率低下，需要更多的土地来生产同等数量的粮食。

Despite lower yields, organic agriculture is more profitable for farmers because consumers are willing to pay more.

尽管产量较低，有机农业对农场主来说却更有利可图，因为消费者愿意支付更多费用。

The review study, " Organic Agriculture in the 2lst Century" , is featured as the cover story for the February issue of the journal Nature Plants.

这项名为《21 世纪的有机农业》的回顾研究是《自然：植物》杂志 2 月刊的封面故事。

They defined organic agriculture as an ecological production management system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity.

他们将有机农业定义为促进和增强生物多样性、生物循环和土壤生物活性的生态生产管理系统。

Advocates contend that the environmental advantages of organic agriculture far outweigh the lower yields, and that increasing research and breeding resources for organic systems would reduce the yield gap.

支持者认为，有机农业的环境优势远远超过了低产这一劣势，而增加对有机系统的研究和育种资源将缩小产量差距。

Organic agriculture is also associated with greater biodiversity of plants, animals, insects and microorganisms as well as genetic diversity. Biodiversity increases the services that nature provides and improves the ability of farming systems to adapt to changing conditions.

有机农业还与植物、动物、昆虫和微生物的更大生物多样性以及遗传多样性有关。生物多样性增加了大自然提供的服务，并提高了农业系统适应不断变化的条件的能力。
