This study quantifies the economic impacts of the integration of a biogas plant into a stockless organic farming system, based on experimental and operational data on yield effects. Only with this knowledge it is possible to determine whether organic farming systems can achieve sustained increases in yield and profitability with a biogas plant. On the one hand, this work is based on results from a field experiment (measured yield effects in the case of the fertilization with biogas slurry in comparison to organic market crop production) and, on the other hand, on yield data from an organic farm.
