      abstract = {Taylor et al. (2001) noted that well designed rotations  are fundamental to organic farming systems. Rotations help  organic systems achieve a balance between crops which  deplete fertility, in particular nitrogen, and soil organic  matter, and crops which restore fertility. The paper  discusses the choice of crop rotation in the context of  organic mixed farm systems that include cereals and  livestock. The analysis is performed by combining economics  and biology with the intention of capturing a broader  approach to measuring the resilience of farming systems.  Thus, it considers that the farmer’s choice of a specific  rotation is based on the expected economic return derived  from the rotation, and also the biological benefits  provided by the selected rotation. The analysis is based on  organic crop rotation trials ran from 1991 to 2006 at a  site in the north-east of Scotland (Tulloch, Aberdeen)  (Taylor et al., 2006).},
