Abstract

This paper presents a review of recent literature covering decision-making and organic farming. Given that this topic has not been widely researched, both the Science-Direct and SCIELO databases were used to search for studies within the 2005-2015 period. A total of eighteen documents were found and used for this paper. Special attention has been given to the methodology used in the studies separating them between general analysis and descriptive statistics in one hand and inferential statistics /mathematical methods in the other. The paper concludes with a few considerations that may be useful to promote organic farming studies involving decision-making.
