Abstract
Management practises are actually designed CO-oriented. Following the societal demand for implementing multifunctional agriculture it is necessary to examine in how far the existing management practices are as well feasible to produce NCOs or in how far they are multifunctionally sound (jointly CO/NCO oriented). Multifunctional joint production has to be aware production, considering the specific “yield potentials” of COs and NCOs at a specific natural site. From the farm management perspective, we assume both, CO and NCO as markets existing.
