Are ‘complementary and alternative medicines’ alternative to conventional medical system? An economic evaluation

Applied Economics Letters, 2007
The availability of conventional medical services (i.e., allopathy) is the basic need for a modern day living.

An agronomic and economic comparison of a conventional and a low-input cropping system in the Palouse

American Journal of Alternative Agriculture, 1987
AbstractThe variable costs and net returns for a conventionally managed rotation and for a low-input, legume-based rotation were compared under 1986 economic conditions in the Palouse region of Washington. The conventional system was a four-year wheat/barley/wheat/pea rotation with fertilizers and pesticide inputs each year.

A study of the comparative economics of conventional and zero traffic systems for arable crops

Soil and Tillage Research, 1993
Abstract The profitability of four zero traffic systems were compared with a conventional system on a farm growing combinable crops. The zero traffic options were 6-m tractor and 6-m gantry-based systems, a system using both 6 and 12 m gantries and a system comprising both conventional equipment and a 12 m gantry.

Limitations of Neoclassical Economics for Evaluating Sustainability of Agricultural Systems: Comparing Organic and Conventional Systems

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture, 2004
ABSTRACT Although sustainability goals have been gradually incorporated into the agricultural education institutions, the analysis of different agricultural systems viability is still being carried out based on cost-benefits analysis. As this analysis does not incorporate ecological, social and cultural variables, it has important limitations to ...
