The Sustainable Agriculture Farming Systems (SAFS) Project (Temple 1988-2000), developed information about the transition from conventional management to low-input and organic practices. Four cropping systems with different rotations of tomatoes, wheat, corn, safflower and/or cover crops were evaluated over 12 years: two conventional, a low-input system, and an organic system. Data showed the low-input system offers significant agronomic and economic advantages. New research is exploring reduced-tillage tomato production methods, nonchemical and low-chemical weed control tactics, and cover crop management that improves nitrogen availability following cash crops.
