Det tar lång tid, upp till flera decennier, innan fördelarna med ekologisk odling slår igenom fullt ut på mark som tidigare brukats konventionellt, visar en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Efter trettio år hade växtarterna runtomkring den odlade grödan fördubblats på gårdar med ekologisk odling jämfört med på konventionella gårdar. Det är välkänt att ekologiskt jordbruk gynnar biologisk mångfald
