ORGANIC MEAT: MARKET DEVELOPMENT AND CONSUMER WILLINGNESS TO PAY

In the Canadian Prairies, there is particular concern about the depletion of soil phosphorous from organic grain production [7], and the long-term impacts of tillage practices employed by organic producers [8]. Grain yields under organic management are, on average, lower than under conventional management, and it has been suggested that the yield deficit is more severe on the Canadian Prairies than some other regions [9]. Even where yields are similar, reliance on rotational strategies over synthetic fertilizers to maintain soil nutrients may place a further constraint on the overall productivity of organic cash crops [10]. Conversely, some studies...
