Factors in organic farmers' decisionmaking: diversity, challenge, and obstacles
Article Abstract:
Operational diversity, on-farm changes and lack of technical education create a significant impact on organic farming in the US.

Although these farmers have a stable financial outlook, their operations are sometimes hindered by inadequacy of agricultural information and unpredictable markets.
