“…Their results showed that soil that was managed organically increased bacterial and fungi (saprotrophic and arbuscular mycorrhizal) biomass, together with an increase in total microbial catabolic activity. Similarly, Goel et al (2021) , under a field trial of rice-wheat cropping system, showed that OF substantially increased the abundance of the 16S rDNA gene (assessed using qRT-PCR) and bacterial diversity (assessed using denaturant gradient gel electrophoresis-DGGE). Lupatini et al (2017) have evaluated the long-term responses of soil bacterial communities (over 7 years since the treatment started) to organic and conventional farming systems using the 16S rRNA gene sequencing approach.…”

In recent years, agricultural productivity has been affected dramatically by climate-related events such as drought. On the other hand, agricultural intensification is expected to increase to satisfy the need for increased global food production. Microbes associated with soil and plants produce a range of bioactive natural products that significantly contribute to crop stress tolerance. Therefore, a better understanding of the parallel effects of agricultural management (conventional and organic croplands) and climate conditions on soil-microbe-plant interactions is crucial to maximizing the effort in engineering a plant microbiome that can better support productivity in agroecosystems. This paper provides a general overview of the major current debates on conventional and organic farming performance regarding yields, particularly under ambient and future climate conditions. With the main focus on cropland, the effect of agricultural management on soil and plant microbiomes is discussed. In addition, the advantage of incorporating microbiome-based approaches into current farming practices to ensure agricultural productivity with less adverse environmental impacts is highlighted. To enhance crop production under organic farming without massive land-use changes and expansion of farmland, the microbial-based approach can be used to ensure higher productivity, particularly under a rapidly changing climate.

“…Organic farming is a production management system that encourages and improves soil organic matter, biochemical and ecological characteristics, agricultural ecosystem health, biodiversity, natural biological cycles, soil biological activity and microbial richness, and enhances soil fertility by minimising the application of external inputs and maximising the efficient use of local resources [1,2]. Organic agriculture, which is a sustainable, agroecological, economic and holistic approach that improves soil health and related microbial communities, and provides environmental sustainability and is cost-effective, may be preferred over conventional methods for suitable regions, conditions and plants [3]. The soil, plant, environmental and biodiversity benefits of organic agriculture are mostly accepted, and its effects on foods' nutritional composition are controversial [4].…”

Organic farming is a production system that avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetic agricultural inputs such as pesticides, growth regulators, highly soluble mineral fertilisers, supplements, preservatives, flavouring, aromatic substances and genetically modified organisms, and their products. This system aims to maintain and increase soil fertility and quality, and relies on systems such as crop rotation, polyculture, intercropping, ecosystem management, covering crops, legumes, organic and bio-fertilisers, mechanical cultivation and biological control methods. The present review summarises and evaluates research comparing the quality of traditionally, organically and conventionally produced foods. In some cases, although the results of the studies contradict each other, organically grown in vegetables, especially berries and fruits are slightly higher dry matter, minerals such as P, Ca, Mg, Fe and Zn, vitamin C, sugars, carotenoids, antioxidant activity, phenolic and flavonoid compounds. In addition, their sensory properties are more pleasant. The nutritional content, quality and safety of organic foods are acceptable if the recent trends are reviewed, tested and verified. Therefore, the aim of this review is to compile, describe and update scientific evidence and data on the quality, safety, bioactive compounds and nutritional and phytochemical quality of foods in traditional and organic fruit, vegetable and cereal production systems.

“…Sustainable management and use of land plays a key role in enhancing the biological capacity of soils, the functionality and diversity of soil biota, food production, and the sustainability of all ecosystems [33]. Research has found that practices used in organic agriculture encourage and improve agricultural ecosystems and soil health and related microbial communities [153], nutritional value, safety, quality and sustainability of food [154][155][156][157], soil biological activity activities and bacterial diversity [158], soil quality indicators, soil biological and enzymatic activity [159], soil organic matter, biodiversity protection, and agricultural sustainability, and increase soil fertility by using fewer external inputs and more effectively using local resources [146,151,160]. However, despite all these positive aspects and being less polluting, organic farming can contribute to sustainable agriculture and food security when it is economically viable for farmers and can support global sustainable productivity gains [148,150].…”

Feeding the world depends on protecting our valuable ecosystems and biodiversity. Currently, increasing public awareness of the problems posed by the current industrialized food system has resulted in increased support for the creative market for economically, socially, and ecologically sustainable food production systems and enhanced demands for variations in agricultural policies and regulations. In food production, the restoration and protection of ecosystems and sustainable food systems must be given priority, which requires a forward-looking rational management strategy and fundamental changes in patterns and practices of economic development, product, and production. Food systems should be redesigned to have a neutral and positive environmental impact, as well as ensure healthy nutrition and food safety, and low environmental impact strategies should become a priority. This review paper aims to discuss, build, guide and evaluate sustainable food systems, principles, and transition strategies such as agroecological, organic, biodynamic, regenerative, urban, and precision agriculture, which are imperative visions for the management of agriculture and food production. To this end, we analyzed the evolution of the established strategies to develop sustainable agriculture and food systems, and we created assessment of key sustainability issues related to food, environment, climate, and rural development priorities and resource use practices.
