Journal Title: Revista Verde de Agroecologia e Desenvolvimento Sustentável - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper makes a comparison between the conventional and the organic farms of the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The comparison was made using the microdata from the 2006 Agricultural Census. The chi-square analysis showed that only one parameter does not differentiate between conventional and organic farmers: family size with up to 2 people. In this parameter there are no statistical differences between conventional and organic. There were statistical differences between conventional and organic farms in the following parameters: sex, domicile, average monthly income, land ownership, use of agricultural credit, membership at cooperatives, use of the area by establishments, schooling and years of experience.
