“…VTN contained higher fat content (∼35%), while Burkina tubers B1TN and B2TN showed no significant (P > 0.05) differences between them and showed the lowest fat value (25.77 and 25.35%). These values were within the usual range for those previously reported, which make evident the high fat content of tiger nuts in comparison to other tubers (0.13% in yacon, 0.16% in potato or 0.30% in cassava) (Adekanmi et al, 2009;CESNID, 2003;Lombardo et al, 2012;Maives et al, 2012;Scher et al, 2009).…”

Abstract:To study the effect of cultivation system (conventional and organic) on potato tuber components, 42 parameters (anti-nutritives, micro-and macro-elements and 23 metabolites) were studied in three multi-resistant Hungarian potato varieties for three years in [2007][2008][2009]. Discriminant analysis of data proved that all investigated factors (farming technology, genotype and season/year) had significant effect on metabolites. Reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC-DAD, HPLC-MS) and elemental analysis methods have been adapted to quantify the major components, i.e., steroidal alkaloids, nitrite, nitrate, sugars, amino acids and micro-elements, in potato tubers. The absolute amount and changes of tuber components were influenced differentially by the technology, genotype and season in a complex manner. Any examined component, except nitrate content, was found to be significantly higher or lower consistently in relation to the production practice (organic or conventional) during the three years trials. Under the examined circumstances, no consequent positive effect of organic farming on the total amount of anti-nutritive components, vitamins or micro-and macro-elements of potato tubers could be proven.

“…Cuevas et al [120] identified one plum variety with superior production of total phenolic compounds and total organic acid content under organic management compared to the other twelve accessions tested. Lombardo et al [114] also identified a potato variety that presented greater total phenols and ascorbic acid than the other varieties tested when produced under organic practices. Although the pool of data describing nutritional differences between crop cultivars produced in organic systems is relatively small, it does highlight the importance of proper selection and development of varieties with the physiological capabilities suited to thrive in stressed environments that are common to organic systems.…”

Abstract:We are at a pivotal time in human history, as the agricultural sector undergoes consolidation coupled with increasing energy costs in the context of declining resource availability. Although organic systems are often thought of as more sustainable than conventional operations, the lack of concise and widely accepted means to measure sustainability makes coming to an agreement on this issue quite challenging. However, an accurate assessment of sustainability can be reached by dissecting the scientific underpinnings of opposing production practices and crop output between cropping systems. The purpose of this review is to provide an in-depth and comprehensive evaluation of modern global production practices and economics of organic cropping systems, as well as assess the sustainability of organic production practices through the clarification of information and analysis of recent research. Additionally, this review addresses areas where improvements can be made to help meet the needs of future organic producers, including organic-focused breeding programs and necessity of coming to a unified global stance on plant breeding technologies. By identifying management strategies that utilize practices with long-term environmental and resource efficiencies, a concerted global effort could guide the adoption of organic agriculture as a sustainable food production system.
