*4.2.3. Other aspects worthy of discussion: workforce, agro-environmental management and marketing strategies*

In addition, other aspects came up from the interviews with farmers during the farm visits which point to additional interesting aspects and open up perspectives which would be interesting to research. In this sense, Escribano et al. [17, 18] carried out a comparative sustainability assessment which showed that organic farms did not carry out so many agroecological practices as would be desirable to increase farm environmental protection, nutrient cycling and self-sufficiency. Moreover, these authors found that in terms of workforce both production systems are also very similar. Additionally, short marketing channels, which are commonly associated with organic production, were noted to also be very similar in various studies [17, 18, 27, 39, 40]. Profound discussion and review about these aspects can be found in other studies [40].
